Keep it Strange Comics and Collectibles

My friend and I are visiting for the weekend from out of town and this was our first stop! Darrel was super helpful, they had great prices on some Lego Ninjago minifigures, and everything else you could imagine. Definitely a staple stop on a trip if you’re a geek like myself

Most excellent comic and game shop. Incredibly friendly staff and overall a stellar shopping experience. While they didn’t have the book I was looking for they called out to another local shop to help me get what I needed. Amazing collectibles, gaming tables, comics and more. Highly recommend this spot for gamers and collectors.

Though it's rather off-putting to see signs all over the place essentially telling you to not touch anything, it's a cool store to walk through. The staff were very friendly, and helpful. These aspects alone made me want to find something to purchase, but ultimately, I couldn't bring myself to do it. I'm all for helping out a brick-and-mortar store but not at the prices they were asking. To put it politely, things were overvalued. Some examples which stood out to me were the G.I. Joe Mobile Command Center complete in the box for $400, when these sell for $200 - $250. A copy of Spider-Man 2099 sitting on the wall had a $125 tag on it. That's a $10 - $20 book on a good day in absolute mint condition. Mum Ra's Tomb Fortress complete in box for $700, which typically sell for $400 - $500. In addition to vintage toys, they have a healthy selection of graded comic books. However, many were 90's to modern books, with no real keys, and all typically having a low grade between 6 and 8. Basically, nothing, in my opinion, that was worth grading, let alone adding to your collection. Again, it's a cool store. I don't fault them for trying to get the prices they're asking. It's ultimately up to the buyer to be just as educated on what they're buying. So, I suppose my only advice to anyone reading this would be to come educated, or willing to overpay. UPDATE - To the owner who responded - Yes, I know how boxes work on collectibles. See the pics of last completed sales for complete with box. Much lower than your prices. As for the comics, come on. Signed or not, anyone can write a COA, which is why most collectors don't take them as legit. Signed COA copies of that book went for ten to thirty dollars. More pics attached.

So I'll start right off the bat and say that the two stars available on this review are due to the exceptional customer service and the cleanliness and niceness of the store. However, this comic shop price gouges customers and it's not even close. The shop has a high selection of back issues. But when you try to use your phone to check the value of those comics there's no way to actually use your phone. There's no signal in the shop. So I selected a number of comics, took photos of the covers, and then went outside to check the values of cover price against the prices that the shop was asking. One of the employees there told me that the person who prices their comics is very fair about it. But nearly every comic I checked was 3 to 10 times more expensive than their value on cover price. They were asking nearly $20 for a comic that was only valued at $2. One comic they had they are asking $36 and it was valued at $4. When I brought this up to the employee they told me that they understood that some of the comics were overpriced but there was nothing they could do about it because their owner told them to never haggle on pricing or reduce the price. This is only an effective manner of running a business if you hope not to make any profit. Granted their current issue pricing was normal, but their back issues definitely need some price adjustment and review.

Just visited for the first time. My son and I collect sports and Pokémon cards. This place was fantastic and full of other collectible memorabilia such as NFL autographed jerseys. They also had many older PlayStation and Xbox consoles. The gentleman at the front desk had a wealth of information to share and didn’t seem too busy to assist.
