Phoenix Comics & Collectibles — Local services in Town of Oyster Bay

It is laughable when I hear people complain about the pricing of a hot book from people who are clueless; or who are pretending to be. Comic books are a trending market value business. The prices are based on the current trending price. The trends are based on a confluence of factors, but the biggest factor is created by the collectors themselves. Unfortunately, whether we like it or not, both retailer and collector are subject to market trends. It's ignorant for either parties not to acknowledge the price fluctuations due to the market. So, before anyone seeks to cast blame on the retailer's prices; one should pay attention to the market trends. So, why did a store price a brand new book for $20?

I don't care how knowledgeable the workers at this store may be, based on other reviews, I will never shop here and hope that others will...

Phoenix Comics is definitely the best place to get comic books on Long Island, by far. The owner, Peter, is one of the most knowledgeable and helpful people on the planet.

This store is jam packed with new releases, old comics (even some from the Golden Age!), toys, memoribilia, variants, trades and literally everything you'd ever want. It's a well organized, but a bit cramped, store with the best owner.

If you're on the fence for a new place to spend your money,...
