Pulp Fiction Comics & Games — Local services in Lee's Summit

I had a free afternoon and wanted to visit the new location (and incarnation) or my favorite comic and games shop. Admittedly, I had become an irregular at the original so I didn't keep up with all the changes preceding closing and opening the new shop. That said, here's my experience:

It took me a bit to find the shop because currently the only sign is a banner that was blocked by a row of cars that no doubt belonged to customers of the restaurant next door.

I was greeted when I came in with a cheery hello and that was the beginning, middle, and end of my interaction with anyone working there. I probably would have had better conversation if I approached the counter with questions and conversation, but I didn't have anything in mind to purchase, and ultimately left without buying anything.

The store is clean and displays are tidy; I saw on their Facebook page that store layout was designed with accessibility in mind, and I appreciated the wide aisles because that meant no awkwardly blocking people or bumping into them as I milled around.

I left feeling fairly neutral. I've been to similar shops where new customers are met with suspicion and disdain, and others where employees strike up conversation with new people. Neither of those things happened today.

I may come back in a few months after you're better established in the...

Typical Neo Nerd. If you don't look like you live in your moms basement, don't bother. I've collected comics since I was old enough to read. When I was kid, comic collectors were from a different world. Sometime between my childhood and adult hood, this changed. In the early 2000's I noticed a shift from friendly interaction to absolute elitist attitude. If you don't play Magic the Gathering or whatever these guys are into these days, you aren't part of the club. Stopped by here on my way home, told the owner exactly what I had and exactly what condition I was working with. This is best way to feel out a place like this. He said "bring them in and I will take a look at them". I double checked on my way out the door, I didn't want to waste my time or his. He seemed genuine so I went home and got what I wanted him to see. A total waste of time. He wanted to thumb through my stuff thinking he might find a hidden gem. Then offered me $5 dollars for 65 comic books. Do your self a favor and stay away. Never take anything of real value to a...

I used pulp fiction after a couple of other places didnt work out. I started in July and picked up my pull every month. I have spent 1000s of dollars at this place. So i picked up my pull in december and then i had a issue with diabetes and a couple of other things. I wasnt sure if i would be able to afford to buy comics so i left my pull just in case. This morning i came to the conclusion that i would not be able to afford them anymore and cancelled my pull. I called the store and they were very rude to me. They said i have done with before. And that im using diabetes as an excuse to not by comics. He also told me im not allowed to come into the store anymore because i was borrowing money and not paying it back. First a pull is guaranteed money, im sure that they can take the comics out and sell them to customers who actully have the money to afford. If i would go to 0...
