This comic shop has some great key books, and an excellent selection of back-issues. The problem is...most are priced at 200% FMV, at least. GL, Volume 3 generic back-issues for $10, each? A Fine- Batman 366 for $80? A VG+ Batman #400 for $40? Maybe I just don't get West Coast pricing...but as awesome as this place is, it's just not worth the time, given how obscenely over-priced their books are. A great place to see some awesome comics. NOT a place to buy, though. UPDATE: Went back, two days later. Picked out a stack of books, and did the homework to find FMV for everything (Covrprice, Overstreet, and MCS). Brought them to the counter, and asked the gentleman to check for current pricing. He went immediately to ebay, looking at NM prices. The books I had selected were not NM condition. Maybe Fine+ or VF. His offer to me was still almost 180% of FMV. I declined, and left. Again....great selection of comics. Just WAY overpriced. UPDATE #2: I found myself back out here, a year after my first crack at it, and thought I'd take another look. While the location has changed...the astronomical pricing has not. $2 back-issues are priced at $10, each. Minor key books are marked up 100% of FMV. This place is a waste of time, unless you hate your money and want to throw it away.
5/5 STARS If you're a comic book enthusiast like me, you owe it to yourself to visit this store. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! I'll be back every week, and I'm already recommending it to all my friends! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! - Vast comic book selection - Friendly and knowledgeable staff - Must-visit for any comic book fan!
First off, they aren't at the advertised address on Google. I had to go to a Facebook page to find it. I don't even have a Facebook. I ended up getting it from the preview of a page. Secondly, the prices are absolutely absurd. I'm all for supporting small business and will happily pay a small percentage over MSRP but this guy was charging more than scalpers online for Magic Cards. He wanted $350 dollars for a collectors edition when MSRP is $150. Absolute robbery for cards. This place is no better than any other scalper that ruins hobbies for thousands every day. I paid $85 for a deck that retails $69 online, $93 after tax. They were sold out online though. Probably due to owners like this. I won't be back and will be sure to let everyone I know that collects cards and comics to avoid this place at all costs. Support your local LGS... just not this one.
Was looking for LOTR figures for my pinball machine. She went in the back and brought out multiple boxes for me. Sale happening now as they are having to move soon. I was very pleased with what I found!
