      My comic shop is pricing those at $7 apiece or higher. Didn’t look up MileHigh right now with its sale.
      But the thing with Larry is , he works with you on offers you make for a stack of things.
      You can’t just throw out $1 an issue there. But he’s always good to work with you on things.
      I’ve been to his store for years. I’ve filmed in there with friends and everybody has a good time in his shop.

      @@felix-ve8jk Chuck its true prices a lot over priced. But at times you have to search for bargains in issues. The sales and current one works very well. Right now doing mid grade Fine condition he has the following issues #9-#12 of Watchmen at these prices #12 is $6.30 , #11 , $6.37 , #10 $13.20 , #9 is $9.60 . Ok compared to MyComicshop ....#12 is $10.50 , #11 is $10.00 , #10 is $17.50 , #9 is 9.30. Now MileHigh total $35.47 before tax. Mycomicshop $47.30 before tax. Now what gives MileHigh the edge here is...free shipping over $25. Mycomicshop charges $6.00. Its about looking for sales and deals you can find of course as I posted above.

    Great looking store. Personally, I don’t mind $5-$10 books as long as they are recently bagged and boarded and in great condition. To me, dollar books are generally in rough shape and only good as reader/filler. At the end of the day, if you really want something, the price is acceptable as long as it’s not astronomically overpriced. I mean, you bought a $150 game cartridge of a crappy game and thought it was worth it. Whereas, I wouldn’t pay $10 for it.

    Definitely a great place to find and something for nearly any kind of collector. Agree that taking something to the front to be priced is not good. If you have inventory out for people to look at, it is only fair to price it. I have a friend that has a strictly back-issue shop. Sometimes the collections he buys back up and he might have up to 15 short boxes at the front not yet priced (though he works his way through them all day long). However, people are told this as they come in & if they feel like fishing through and find something, it is priced right then. Keep in mind, the other 100K comics in the shop are already priced. While some prices of this place in Virginia seemed high, I imagine it has to do with overheard. Just the same, you found some good deals & that is always part of the grand adventure.

    I think you're a bit harsh on the non pricing of some books. Seems pretty obvious the books on the top are out for sale and the books underneath have not been sorted through yet but they don't have storage other than in the store itself.

    I appreciate that pricing style. The prices are what they are, so you can get a deal or you get a high price. But even when you took the Watchmen up, he didn't go to eBay for the highest prices. You can dig for a while and get some cool books at decent prices. There's an experience to it all.

    comic shops are not there to provide treasures for $1.00. comic shop overhead is to be paid every month. sometimes every week. I things are not priced does not mean you get a steal for 1.00. It just means the owner could not get to price the books. You and Jerno said this same thing. It is not the job of the comic shop to have everything priced. They are there to provide a selection of things for you to buy. believe me no comic shop will miss your sale if all you are buying is a 20.00 or more book for 1.00. They should be there to provide a fair price not provide gold for you to have at a steal of a price.

    No, he priced those 6 bucks because he saw you. "oh it's that troll, Sticy Goose, let me overprice the comics!" If it was Mike from Lunch Money comics that store clerk would have priced those comics a dollar each and maybe even given Mike a few comics for free. This is why it pays to be polite and likable if you are a UA-camr.

    People say that younger folks have no interest in comics because they are not paying astronomical prices for overpriced books to old-timers. Ironically the young folks apparently have no interest in buying a home as well since they suddenly stopped buying, definitely nothing to do with home prices being 2-3x higher than they were four years ago. Correlation and causation, but the old folks are will complain that "Country Kitchen daggum too spensive' since these kids dont want to pay my prices no more!" This is the slowest middle-finger from one generation to the next you could see, and the reason why 90% of shops have long gone under.
