That guy was probably pumped about selling his collection the night before then he mentioned something to his wife and she was instantly a comic value expert. That stinks.

Once the wife gets involved, it’s over.

A guy came in my store and grabbed a bunch of books out of the quarter bin. I was up front pricing books and the guy comes up and im adding his books up and one of the books (a Champions book, I don't remember the issue off the top of my head) I had just priced at $15. It was in beautiful shape and I told the guy 'I just priced a copy of this book at 15 and you are getting it for. 25c today.' I don't play that crap. I dont pull books off the shelf that are selling for higher prices on ebay before they hit the shelf. I  know that awesome feeling of finding gems in quarter and dollar bins and I dont take that experience away from anyone. In fact sometimes if I have a few extra copies of a key or hot book I'll put one in the quarter bin just to give someone that rush. Treating people is just good business. Im sorry that happened to you. And im glad you made this video and I hope it puts people and stores on notice. When you did your worse things about collecting comics video I seriously almost commented that these situations are one.

Even outside of comics, this is such a good life lesson.  A man is only as good as his word.

I had to go take my blood pressure pill after I heard what you went through.  Hang in there, comic karma will prevail! :-)

Green Lantern Quarterly 8 is a $50 book in a 9.8. Who would pay $50 for that raw

As a collector of some 53 years, seven more as a reader, I can say this. When a book falls into your hands as a gift, or as a once in a lifetime bargain, it becomes something you treasure the rest of your life. For my 18th b-day, I was given by a late aunt, a copy in decent shape of the first appetence of thor in journey into mystery 83, she had bought for about a dime at a flea market. On the other side of the issue, when one is both burned and treated in a rude manner by a seller/trader, the memory of how shitty the deal made you feel, is never forgotten, even if the book was a rare key in decent shape.

I can do $50?! Man I would have walked out that LCS and let the owners put back my dollar books. Props to you for not calling out the first guy by name. His wife clearly makes the pants in that family. I hope you hit on some dollar bin gold to make up for all this. Have a great rest of your day!

<b>Edit</b> Green Lantern Corps Quarterly #8 is not the first cameo of Kyle Rayner but the first cameo of him in his GL costume which predates his full costume GL reveal in GL 51. Thanks for the support guys!

That is an absolute maddening story, and I can only imagine the difference in your train of thought on the way down vs on the return drive.  I'm not sure what I would have done in your shoes, put I probably would have left the shop without the other books, either.  Someone wants to jerk you around, they don't deserve your patronage!  Keep frosty!

The absolute nerve of them to jack up the price, both the comic store and the collector. You did the right thing to walk away
