Customer comes into store, browses for 20 minutes. HOW THE HELL CAN THIS COMIC BE $XX Rhyno pulls comic off the wall, looks up current pricing. Well sir you're right. It's actually $XX + $25 now. So you should grab it at this price before I price it up. YOU MUST THINK I'M A DUMBER gently caress THAN YOU IF THINK THAT WILL WORK. Rhyno silently prices comic up $25, returns it to wall. Customer looks absolutely dumbfounded. Rhyno wishes the customer a very good night as he leaves. graded copy of Detective #871, first Snyder Batman story

WickedHate posted:Rhyno, your store stories(storeies) are always such a delight. Preemptively being an rear end in a top hat never gets you what you want, I never understand why people think that's how you get a deal.

Lick! The! Whisk! posted:Funko Pops look terrible and apparently they've completely swallowed the collectibles market whole, so I keep on reading articles from people worried that if and when the Funko Pop fad passes the entire collectibles market will basically go down with it. We sell like 50 of them a week. It's out of control.

WickedHate posted:Are they like, the new beanie babies? They've outlasted BB. The thing with Funko, they keep getting more and more licenses so the line keeps appealing to more and more people. Look up the newly released TWD Negan figure, it's already triple retail and will probably hit $50 by mid month.

Pop Vinyls outsell pretty much every other toy line we carry. And our margins on them are fantastic so they're super profitable.

I wish they'd stop prolonging this. Trump is going to take Wisconsin and that's all he needs. Michigan will probably follow shortly after as well as Arizona just to rub salt in the wound.

Sentinel Red posted:*puts telly on, sees Leonard Cohen has died, literally yell "gently caress OFF gently caress OFF gently caress OFF JUST gently caress OFF" at said telly like a lunatic* That man was literally the soundtrack of my youth. I was sitting in the basement in 1993 watching Pump Up the Volume and discovered his amazing voice in that lackluster flick. 2016 took my favorite artist (Cooke) and now my favorite singer (Cohen). I can not deal with anything else.

So uh, I have a really fuckin weird guy who dresses as Star Lord all the fuckin time, mask and all, and walks around the mall. Today he decided he was Green Arrow. And he walked into my store in costume, quickly followed by security and a Sheriff because he used his very real bow to fire a very real arrow across the quad. Somehow he didn't get arrested, they just took his weapons and let him continue shopping.

I have a super lovely cell phone pic but I don't know if I should really post it. He was wearing black pants and boots and a sort of lovely ARROW jacket with hood, sort of like the season 1 gear.

There's no real method to the box packing so it might have been a problem at the warehouse.

Roth posted:Does BSS do any sort of year-end reflection of the year's comics, like user awards or anything? This is the first year I've really followed new comics closely, so I'm a bit interested in knowing how good/bad this year was in comparison, though I'm making a guess that reception is mostly pretty positive. We generally gather and make an effigy of the current mod using the worst comics of the year as stuffing. We then burn the effigy and dance naked in the moonlight.
