Who has the worst comics seller's website? 3 3

[DavidTheDavid]

The classic, Mile High Comics. Its efficient use of spacing, layout, and menuing make it a strong contender.

Doug Sulipa's Comics World has never met a text wall it didn't like.

The early 90s want their tiled textures back. I love the 2021 catalog, the Mar 2022 update (twice), and the 2023 show schedule all in view.

Gotta disagree about the Mile High website. Candidly I’ve never bought anything on it but the “advanced search” is easy to use and helps when I’m researching newsstands.

Websites are usually a waste of time for me. Anything any good that I want is either sold or never posted at all. They have been antiquated in todays times. They are often out dated any way.

Which is weird when you think about it.

I've found mid-town comics to be a chore to find anything on.  Doug's site is bad, the one time I bought from him I actually just sent him my list (that's mail-order tech there, but with e-mail!!!!).  Mile High's issue is pricing.  The site is antiquated, but you can at least find stuff.

It is REALLY a chore to navigate - that said I bought from Doug in the past and he's got great stuff. Great grader.

Since Mile High was already mentioned..

I'm not sure I agree about mycomicworld.com. I don't have a lot of difficulty finding what I want. Their listings provide a wealth of information. One benefit of this shop is that they have cover pictures of almost every book, even books they don't have in stock.

Honestly,  many of the big dealers have outdated sites.  

It would probably be easier to list the good sites than the bad.  

Reece and Dale have really good sites. Bob has to be the best or close to it. WW is pretty good.

DTA. Great stock but load times…whoof…

However, one drawback I know about on this site is that they need an up-arrow at the bottom of the page that will take you back to the top of the page, just as CGC, GPAnalysis, and Ebay have.

If you mean mycomicshop.com, have you tried hitting your <Home> and <End> keys on your keyboard?  I have no problems with their site, tbh.  I can find pretty much anything with relative ease on there, and the amount of information like pics and descriptions are awesome if just to learn from sometimes.

Great, I just placed my first order with him.

He had ALL the run copies I needed for a title in stock, in high grade, so I'm eager to see them and hopefully send him another want list.

I'm not too hung up on dated websites. I can understand why many sellers find updating their sites prohibitive. I appreciate the simplicity and functionality of wwcomics.com, comiclink.com, mycomicsshop.com, highgradecomics.com and others like them. They are dated, yes, but for viewing pages and pages of thumbnails for someone with thousands of comics and related print in inventory, they work great. These sites are generally tabular and have good search filters and a deep inventory.

But some of these especially bad ones, whew boy. I think they copy pasted text from their print catalogs and make haphazard attempts at adding pages and home page updates.
