Comic Carnival — Local services in Indianapolis

I have been a customer of Comic Carnival since the very early 1980s at the Carrollton Ave location. I had very very fond memories of my Dad taking me there. After today’s experience those memories are erased just by the lack of basic customer service. I’m very sorry I don’t fit your current customer profile. I’m still a person who took the time to come into your store. Maybe I shouldn’t base your company on one employee. I don’t write posts online typically. I went in to see if your company would be interested in buying some things. It’s ok if you’re not. Might want to look at them out of courtesy. Buyer not in? Might want to ask who I am and how to contact me. It took me hours to get my things ready due to a disability. As I struggled in your store I didn’t hear anyone ask may I assist you or thanks for taking the time to come in. I was given a look of why are you in my store. I even explained how long I was a customer. I went to a competitor. Very next store asked if I would like something to drink. Their buyer wasn’t in. When they found out how far I drive without even asking what I had they called their person and they came in and we did business. Even if we hadn’t I was treated far better. I was told thank you and was told hello. Now that we have done business he will be getting my good stuff. You didn’t have to buy anything. But common courtesy would be nice. I walked in with a cane and dragged in some books. I could have called ahead but I went old school to say hello to...

This is a pretty average comic book store as of lately because a lot of them have become commercialized…. When I walked in someone did say hello but then continue talking to their coworker as I walked in and didn’t even really know where to go to start looking for stuff…. Thankfully I’m pretty familiar with coma bookstores and know what to look for but no help was offered at all with no inquiring of what I might be there for….. friendly enough staff but probably needs to work on customer service a little bit with interaction with them other than when someone walks in because once I did get to the register they did seem pretty talkative and helpful…. Because from my accent it can be very apparent that I was from out of town and I would gladly come back if there was staff day or two be more helpful in trying to ask me what I’m interested in….. and we do have a few friends in the area eventually we plan on seeing again but don’t quite know if I’ll be back here….. Plus if I’m being honest the dollar bin section really was not great… I get trying to hold back certain books because some back issues are more valuable or more sought-after but those dollar been issues were primarily books that...

Found them with a Google Search while I was in Indy about a year ago. They do have a very healthy amount of back issues. I'd say majority is late bronze to current. There was some gold and silver that probably no one wants (LOL) which is why they're still there because most of the sought out books are on the wall or gone. A lot of books IMHO would probably be (or should be) in a 25c to $1 bin (and they still wouldn't get purchased) in other shops....maybe they do that on FCBD....Overall, this is a COMIC shop. They got rows and rows and walls of books. They probably carry every monthly comic published. Staff super friendly. Very nice. The shop attendant was very kind when somebody came in to sell one long box of comics that they did not have interest in purchasing. I was actually impressed how kind and professional they were in educating this lady clearly selling someone else's collectiong(LOL) maybe her sons (or exboyfriend!!! LOL)...
