I would have trouble stifling a laugh if I heard someone walk into a comic store and ask where the "keys" are.  That really stuck out to me when I watched the video, especially when he was in the stores that were not primarily focused on comics.  He also seemed to expect every store to have (at the very least) an AF15 or Hulk 181 stashed away somewhere.

Did he just watch a few YouTube videos and start collecting comics last week...?  

His video was entertaining to me in all the wrong ways, but I fully recognize that I'm being a condescending jerk.

Cliff's Notes:

• Strap-On is the main character.
• Gives Wisconsinites 'The Ick'.
• Boomer-level cringe.
• Superpower: Getting triggered causes toxic anxiety.
• Keys, keys, keys!
• Beta male.
• Self-diagnosed "neurodivergent".
• Suit made of red flags.
• Requires psychotherapy.

Probably if you look his videos the first comic book haul video is from two years ago where he shows his dads old comics.

This comment is one part genius, one part Chris Claremont cramming all the young folks lingo into one page in an X-men comic.

I couldn't understand it because I needed a British English translation, but the Cliff Notes sorted that out.

I was thinking more along the lines of an unintelligible Bob Haney SA Teen Titans comic rather than Claremont dialogue.  Same effect.

I'm not here to defend the store owners or stickygoose, but I've watched several of his videos and he tends to come off as a pretty big d-bag, so take what you want from that.

He's just being himself. Seriously- these guys contribute nothing and are a pest to the hobby. It's all about them, the comics themselves are a secondary device.

Yeah, that's a pretty good job of not defending him.

And not even in the parking lot if the lot is part of the rent or ownership of the shop.  I pay $10k per year in property tax... you don't get to do business on my property for free. And, as I said before... you may see me turn down a given batch of books... but you have no idea if that's a one off, or whether I have an ongoing relationship with that seller.  To insert yourself into the business of a customer you would have had no way of meeting if you weren't reaping the benefits of my physical location and all of the advertising and good-will it has built over decades is a big no.  You want to be a wheeler-dealer... get your own shop, run it the way you want to, file all of your tax forms (110 of them per year in my case), and in general put in the work.  

I assuming some sort of mini mall scenario with a shared parking lot. If it is your property that's different

Same. 

And I would love to spend 3-4 hours digging through random boxes of books at an LCS I've never been. The thrill of the hunt and serendipitous discoveries are always a good time for me. 

 

Those random boxes are where you find the treasure!!!!

This is the kind of customer that makes comic store owners want to go insane. The guy is an entitled jerk who is only looking for "keys" - that's the first clue. What a tool. Just an absolute tool.

[FlyingDonut]

My question is does this guy actually like comics?

In fairness, he did seem genuinely stoked to pick up a copy of FF 112 for his collection, despite grumbling at the same time about the trade he made to acquire it.

I might be in the minority here. I don't mind his videos and I enjoy seeing what folks are selling in shops or cons. I would however suggest just wear a flannel or button down shirt and place your phone in the breast pocket. High quality phones can produce some fine quality videos. I personally hate post bronze books, but his videos aren't all that troubling IMO

You need to re-think your opinion on him.

It is business he is walking into and while in their store patronizing another customer about doing business with them, and basically does it again in the 2nd store.

There is no gray area here.  He is out completely of line and probably a d-bag in real life!

Both places that "threw him out" did so for hustling business for himself in their stores. That's a total d-bag move and will get you thrown out of most stores. I have thrown people out of my booths at conventions for doing that.

He likes making money and acting like he is entitled for others to fork over the profits for him in trade or in comic keys

What a loser he is!
