    Default Free Comic Book Day solitications - what does (Net) mean?

    So I'm checking out the FCBD comics and some have (Net) next to their name. Some also have (MR), but I know what that means. However, I can't for the life of me figure out what (Net) means. Nor can my LCS owner lol.

    So...does anyone here have any idea what it means? I've tried to cross reference things like publisher, re-print material, etc, but nothing seems to be tie together.
    Comics were definitely happier, breezier and more confident in their own strengths before Hollywood and the Internet turned the business of writing superhero stories into the production of low budget storyboards or, worse, into conformist, fruitless attempts to impress or entertain a small group of people who appear to hate comics and their creators. -- Grant Morrison, 2008

    Sometimes things are special because they don't last. -- Zhi, Tales from the Loop

    Not a retailer but I assume it's the below - also feel like your LCS owner should know this? lol.

    Net Cost

    Any item offered in PREVIEWS Retailer Order Form that has no applicable Discount, regardless of the quantity ordered on that specific product or a customer’s Standard Discount. These products carry a “J” or “Z” Discount Code and the notation “Net” on the Order Form, ComicSuite, the Master Data File, and other Diamond ordering tools. Any item in the Order Form which carries a Net Cost will display a Please Inquire (PI) designation in the catalog to inform your customers that the item is available (while allowing you to set your own retail price), along with a Suggested Retail Price (SRP) on items which are widely available (i.e., movie videos priced at sell-through). Items such as trading cards, collecting supplies, and retail fixtures are normally listed at a Net Cost. Such items do not count towards your Standard Discount.
