They have, in the words of the salesgirl, "pretty decent" books at good prices, but apparently would rather not sell them. My boyfriend collects a lot of comics and does a lot of buying and trading, so we make a point to stop in at comic book shops when we go out of town. We saw this place and he saw 3 different key issues that he wanted to look at and most likely purchase. We were then informed that they had just "lost" their ladder the day before and couldnt reach the top shelf of key issues (despite the fact that they had a ladder clearly visible in the back hallway). We asked if there was any way they could possibly reach them, or pull them down by the time we came back through the town on our return trip home. I offered to write down which ones we wanted, but the girl said we should just call when we were on our way back through. We did. It seemed as if the girl who answered the phone was the same one we had spoken to before (mainly because she seemed obligated to talk to customers, regardless of their obvious intent to spend multiple hundreds of dollars on just one trip). I told her that we had been in a few days before, but were told to call back. I told her which books we wanted, and she said that she could only get to one of the three, and that tomorrow she could get them. I told her that, as I had mentioned before, this was our second trip through the town and we would not be returning. She stated that there was absolutely no way she could get to the others, and we hung up. My boyfriend toyed with the idea of going in just to buy the one, but in the end, we decided that going back was not worth our time or worth inconviniencing the salesgirl with talking to customers. Well find someone more pleasing to talk to and more willing to part with their inventory to buy key issues from.
