Yeah. And some of those extras go in the back issue box at higher prices and others end up in the discount boxes. Sales probably even out (for the comic shop guy who knows what he's doing).

I find it more and more the case that stores are risk-averse and only cater to their pull customers. There may be a handful of extras for walk-in customers, but otherwise you need to be aware of a book three months before it comes out so you can preorder it or miss out on getting it if you aren't there on Wednesday. It's a ridiculous model.
The good stores are the ones that actually have extras of a given title, allowing for the opportunity of new readers.
