A little hole-in-the-wall kind of place. The owner just sits there and stares at you, and barely talks. I don't think there's anyone else working there at all. The one that's an hour away from here is great. the owner and the people that work there are all really funny and helpful and nice. The stuff in the store is awesome too, I usually spend $50 when I'm there. It's also a bright little place on a main road. I go there whenever I can ^_^<br><b>References : </b><br> It’s terrible.

]]> Comment on What is the best way to sell comics on ebay? Individually or in story arcs? by eBaySales http://comicbookmedia.com/comics/what-is-the-best-way-to-sell-comics-on-ebay-individually-or-in-story-arcs/comment-page-1#comment-4084 eBaySales Wed, 10 Mar 2010 23:52:59 +0000 http://comicbookmedia.com/comics/what-is-the-best-way-to-sell-comics-on-ebay-individually-or-in-story-arcs#comment-4084 Hi, Firstly look at what other successful comic sellers are doing. Look at their listings, and stores. If you have complete story arc's sell them complete and make sure to mention this in your listing. This will add value! Only sell more valuable comics individually. Auction 3-5 lower value comics together to give the best value to the eBay buyer after postage, and reduce your fees by having one listing for the group. Offer a combined shipping discount to encourage multiple sales. Be sure to add all the right keywords in your eBay Auction title. As an example, if you sell some spider-man issues with Venom, mention Venom in the title. Go for it and have fun! <br><b>References : </b><br>Specific article on eBay and comics http://www.AmazingComics.com.au/buyingebay.php General eBay tips for sellers http://www.eBaySales.com.au/sell-on-ebay Hi,

It's definitely my Yaoi collection. It's so beautiful... when I go home... and see all those yaoi piled up so neatly and nicely... I cant help but run my fingers across them and just stare.... 74 in total, not including 7 yaoi novels... <3 I have more manga.... (around 230ish regular ones I think...) but for some reason.... my yaoi are just so precious... they really are so wonderful to look at.... <3 <3 (Of course, read as well ^^)<br><b>References : </b><br> I dont know if this counts… umm….

Location is usually critical for a retail store, but the cool thing about a comic store is you can possibly have a very loyal audience who will go out of their way to find you. But it's better if you make it easy. Be sure to spend more time and money on "how will I get customers in the door, and how many do I need to stay in business" than on distractions like shelves and decor and logo's. Good luck Scott<br><b>References : </b><br> Well, if you want financing you better have a business plan, got one of those yet?
