I heard lots of them when they find out a comic is valuable they keep it in the back not for public sale and simply tell customers that the comic is out of stock or make up something else to fob them off. Anyone admit this? And to those going to take the mick go on I welcome it waste your time. I know of a shop that used to do this but not in the way you think. He did not like to sell out of a book for his regular customers so he would take the entire stack off the shelf until pull bags were satisfied and then regular customers had a chance to get the book if they wanted on a Wednesday. If someone came in that was not a regular customer he would tell people that Diamond messed up his order and he might have more copies in on Thursday. Once all pull orders were satisfied he would sometimes keep a couple of copies for the store to sell at a premium. If you came in off the street and were not a regular customer... you were out of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
