Ravenswood Comics — Local services in Town of New Hartford

This is the first comic shop I ever went to. I was 12 years old and believe I got a free Dazzler #1 from Janine way back in 1983. As a teenager I would spend some of my paycheck here on a weekly pull list when you could get 20 comics or more for 20 bucks. I built a heck of a collection shopping here over the years. I even sold a lot of it back to them when I moved to California in the mid 90’s. I haven’t been around here in a long time as I live out of state but will be in the Utica/Rome area for the next 8-12 months and will be stopping by the best comic shop around with the best owner ever. I don’t know who is around anymore. I only really remember Janine and the guy Joe who I was decently acquainted with. I never felt like a customer here. It was always a more friendly welcoming atmosphere to me. See you...

If I was so polite or have $2k in cards in my hands I'd of said something in the store. After years away and coming back, I'm disappointed in u Ravenwood. Those are druggie prices. Could the ow er of the store get some febreezr in there also. It's a basement store and ur comics are collecting moisture...

Disrespectful owner. Fantastic Cashier. Ravenswood Comics will purchase pokemon cards at 20% and 50% value; Although I'm not sure what that means because after being berrated by the owner for having a price in mind that didnt cooincide with his business needs I swiftly walked out. "See the lights above you? And the person you talked to at the counter? They dont pay for themselves." Thank you, but I know that sir. A simple "No" would have been sufficient. 80% in card value is unrealistic and a complete dealbreaker for this business. I will be sure to direct business elsewhere and make this point to anyone who asks about...
