Warning about the comic book shop on Elm Street in Springfield
I visited the big comic shop on Elm Street last Saturday and noticed about half the back issues were priced way above market value. The owner told me he raised prices on everything after he saw some eBay flips go for double. Has anyone else seen pricing like this at their local shops?

The store on Elm Street has been around for over 20 years so I can see why the owner would price stuff based on what he sees online. I mean if someone is willing to pay $50 for a flip then why wouldn't he ask for more at his own shop? He's running a business not a charity (though I know that sounds harsh). His rent and overhead are probably way higher than what an eBay seller deals with so he needs to make a profit somehow. I actually thought his prices were fair for a brick and mortar place honestly.
