Loved the video!💕 Just started my comic book collection and found Toon Haven. They offer a huge variety of digital comics for every genre, and lifetime updates too!😍

Another UK sub here, love your content! I think one of the reasons for your UK popularity is that your sense of humour is very dry and that appeals to the UK crowd. Keep up the good work!

As a UK collector I've been to scores of different shops and stalls. Most UK comic shop sellers are rude, autistic, don't actually want to sell and have a bad attitude. I only shop online now.

That’s something that drives me nuts when I see a comic shop not price their books so they can look at eBay at the last moment to raise the price! I walk out every time if I see that

@davidallen4026 Ай бұрын

I was at a show once and dude had a sign that basically said "don't pull out books you are not going to buy. Don't make me re-sort a bunch of dollar books". So, I only pulled out books I wanted - the lesson being that sellers should let buyers know their expectations in advance to make the transaction go smoother.

Yeah! You shouldn't treat your customers badly but I've gotten some of my best deals over the years by learning to make friends with collectors that have no social grace or even may be "on the spectrum" as they say these days! Some old guys will get mad at you just for being young! Enjoyable video for sure!

@PunguinYoga Ай бұрын

He might be on the spectrum. I started collecting casually when I was about 50. I was stunned by the lack of social skills of some LCS owners. If you don't like people, learn to fake it. Many people do that. It's just smart business. Honesty is no virtue if it becomes rudeness.

I don't know why we say "cheap as chips" in the UK anymore, because since covid they are not cheap at all!

I have found this is really bad right now, because people have alot of price memory from the highs of 2 years ago. I go into stores seeing books at 800 bucks I know I can find for 300 on ebay as buy it nows. Some shops are willing to look and adjust prices, others wont come down more then 10%. Very frustrated.

I had an experience many years ago in a UK comic shop. I had recently moved, so was looking for a place to get my weekly books! I collected mainly DC at the time but did pick up a few indies and Marvel. So one week-end I went looking, I found a small shop at the end of the main high st. which advertised outside on a bill board, come in and enjoy coffee and comics. I went in, there were a number of boxes of comics dotted about none in bags or boards and all mostly dog-eared and no more than reading copies, nothing you would want to buy and then keep in a collection, but they did have prices stuck to them so they were for sale. There were several people sitting around chatting, reading and drinking coffee. I worked out who the owner was by the conversation going on, but he didn't seem to acknowledge me, he just continued chatting to what I assume were his regulars. I was about to leave, when one of the "regulars" said oy! Charlie you've got a customer. This Charlie then said "yer! what do you want?" Very customer focused, I don't think!! I asked if he sold new issued comics, he said he did and what ones do I want. So I gave him my list! After looking at it for a few seconds, he proudly told me he didn't order DC shit or indie rubbish, but he would the Marvel books. I was pretty stunned by this, but just took my list from him and left. Takes all sorts, I suppose! This was in the early 90's and the list was for about 40 books a month, I eventually found a great comic shop that I've used for 30+ years! That other place closed down about a year later!

@lifeasgrey Ай бұрын

I grew up in Pontypridd, this is 100% accurate to what that shop owner is right. He’s a rip off and likes to make people feel stupid if they don’t listen to his pricing. Put me off engaging with comics and shops like his and still feel a bit of anxiety going into them now.

oh yeah you need a thick skin sometimes to deal with people like that but if you can keep from getting triggered eventually you can build some trust. if its just some rando at a convention or swap meet pfft just walk away but if its a local business its better to wait it out than burn that bridge. you never know what his situation is maybe he is on the verge of losing his business or was ripped off by a customer before or just felt like hed been ripped off. so many people look at price guides or ebay and think books have one value and dont really understand how much condition influences value. ive always kinda sucked at judjing comic book conditions myself and overpay or pass on good books because of that. youtube pro-tip: dont stick your ass in front of the camera unless you are hot and are wearing tight shorts

I will not look through unpriced books. If they can’t be bothered to figure out which ones are the good ones, I will not be doing that work for the low low price of being overcharged for the books you did pull.
