All of their comic books are priced based on eBay sales. This is just a horrible business model. You’re selling to collectors, not resellers. I just think it’s a strange business practice to not use legitimate pricing charts and instead you’re asking for eBay prices on items you’ll never sell on eBay. That’s like me selling you a car for $20k above retail because that’s what it’ll go for in Europe. Spent 20 minutes haggling prices with a kid who had to take out his phone and look up eBay listings on comics that shouldn’t be more than $3 that they wanted to sell for $15 because of two recent eBay sales. Homie I’m not selling this on eBay. That price means nothing to me and it shouldn’t to you as the seller if you have zero interest in selling it on eBay because if you COULD get these books for that price, they’d all be on eBay and not rotting in the bins at your shop. Oh, and they make you go through the bins. They price them after youve spent hours hunting through the unsorted collection. Why? Will never buy here again.

Any and every time we go there, the staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and outright a treat to work with. My wife even ended up finding a manga from when they were 11 that they’d been looking for for years there, and priced extremely well. I can’t emphasize enough how glad I am that businesses like theirs exists, and hope we can stop...

Recommended. I met with owner in Santa Barbara to sell my Pokémon collection. He gave me a fair offer, but also told me what’s real and what’s fake. He left me with an appraisal that changed my mind on selling. I have been buying from them to add to my collection and will continue to. If you are looking to sell or to buy for your collection, I highly recommend talking to the owner, honest and straight forward. Every time I go to the shop in the mall staff are always welcoming and have a free toy bin for my daughter to pick from....
