It is ridiculous what some stores do. I think it is because most of them bleed money and only a few truly know what they are doing. Like if you look at the sneaker culture people buy and resell for twice the price, but it is so organized because it is run by Nike, Foot Locker, Finish Line, etc. At the LCS I could be there at 15 minutes after open, but they accept phone calls to hold items even if you don't have a pull list. That is ridiculous. They will hold them for days or weeks if they forget (like when I got the full Hawkeye run). I should just start calling every Wednesday 1 minute after opening saying I will take an issue of everything and just actually buy what heats up. And the long boxes are ridiculous. Why don't stores want to move stock? The other day I saw New Teen Titans #2 (1980, first Deathstroke) for $25 and I asked if they took offers for $20 and he was a saying the price is the price. This was a long box comic and not a wall comic.
