There are many considerations one has to think about comic stores, especially if you're into comic book collecting. Whether you just moved into a new area or you're just discovering the wonders of comic book collecting, it is necessary to know which comic book store you would be frequenting.
Like in any endeavor, planning and doing a little research allows you to be ready and be more efficient with your task at hand. In choosing a comic book store, you need to have a map of the business establishments in the area or the yellow pages. With these resources, you will be able to make an itinerary or a plan where you can go to the local comic book stores there. Fix a plan that will allow you to move from one comic book store to another in the most efficient way.
Start with the comic book store nearest to you. This is because distance is one of the biggest considerations when choosing. If the comic bookstore is near you, then you can pop in any time you like. Try to visit each comic book store in your list.
In each store, notice all the details that can make a difference in your decision. See if they have a vast collection of comic books. Look at the genre and titles they carry. Look for the ones that interest you. See if they have many copies of the titles you collect. Look at the prices, especially with the back issues. You should take note of these details as these are the ones you will use in comparing the certain comic book store with the others.
If you can, talk to the manager. Ask questions about their policies, especially in returns, ask about how soon issues hit their racks and so on. You should also see if the staff is knowledgeable with comic books, they should be able to help you out with tips and information. The staff should also be friendly and the place clean. This can really help you out to have a great shopping experience.
Choosing the one you like would depend on your preferences. Compare the strengths and weaknesses of the comic book stores you visited and just choose the one which appeals the best to you. This is where comic book collecting starts to be fun.
