Product status

Custom software solution, built to your requirements

No existing GullySystem product manages pull lists, variant covers and unique single copies together, so it would be written for the shop. It would read the shop’s billing records where possible.

There is no published price, free trial or live demo for this solution. Scope and cost are settled in a written proposal after discovery.

Purpose and users

The aim is that every regular reader receives a copy on release day and every unique copy sells only once. The record decides, not the counter.

It does not grade comics or value them. It stores the grade and notes the seller records and shows the photographs supplied.

Common questions

Questions about this solution.

Does a ready package exist for comic shops?

No. It would be written for you, since no existing product does pull lists with unique copies.

Does it value or grade comics?

No. It stores the grade and notes you assign, and shows your photographs.

Can a rare variant be limited to one per customer?

Yes. A limit can be set, and the basket enforces it.
