And this is how it should be, because if it's not done, they poof out of the store before you can take a step out of your bed.
I've seen countless of videogame stores who considered themselves user friendly turn from amazing stores to absolute crap because they're pricing weas way too "reasonable". Scalpers would just go there and swoop everything.
It's a dumb policy I am just doing inventory checks for them and then paying the price I would have paid online doing no work. I could understand maybe a system where you price comics within a range $20-$50 comics are always $20 or something? But there is no point in me flicking through this shit doing their job for them for no gain.
Not that I care, I don't even buy floppies. I have seen shops with an entire run of floppies collected and priced together and I can appreciate that effort a lot more than "lol price our inventory yourself kid"
It's a really terrible customer experience to take something up to the till and then discover that the price is not as advertised. That's how you get people to just go online instead.
When I played card games the store owners had a pretty good handle on single prices even for games they didn't play themselves so I would assume that comic guys could do it for comics.
That doesn't surprise me, a lot of shops are just there for cards and the owners only know about cards. When I went to my lcs I had to explain to them what I meant by "pull list" and "backissue".
Came here to argue. Did some research. I was mistaken. There is no law stating a company needs to give you the item at its sticker price if it is A)a mistake, or B)a non advertised item designed to specifically get comstomers into the store.
Any place can say, "we messed up, it's actually ?? dollars." And change the price at the register if they can prove it was a mistake. Most places will give you the lower amount to avoid negative backlash. But they are under no federal law to honor the sticker price. Might change state by state, but federal says, "naw man, they can change that shit if they want."
A little bit of extra free research for you in regard to the second point you made: the Better Business Bureau is literally nothing. They are a nothing more than an online review website with no authority or power to do anything. Reporting someone to the BBB is no different than leaving a bad review on Yelp.
If you really think a business is doing something wrong, contact your state's Attorney General.
My response is to "buy" a comic at $0.00.
It's shit. The ticketed price is the price. If they can't be bothered to do their job and price a book right then that's on them.

Thank god for internet piracy
imagine spending hundreds of dollars on piles of moldy paper
>Supply and Demand
I don't think it's just comic shops doing this...
I'd be pissed if the tag says 1 dollar, but they increase it at the register. But they could change the tag before that and it's no problem.

If the price changes, so can my choice to buy it.
This is illegal in America. Falls under false advertising. Imagine if Walmart tried this shit.
Tell them you’re calling the Better Business Bureau
It's not illegal and you're moronic.
Actually it is very illegal to advertise false prices.
It's not a false price, there's a sign. Do you think all pawn shops are illegal because prices are negotiable?

Some homosexual shop upcharges me like this and I’ll rip their shitty funny pages in half. Frick scalpers.
Basically having the customer sort their inventory while they sit around playg mtg
I only read trades so I don’t care
Get rekt collectors. Books are meant to be read, not worshipped.
If you want to do this, don't put a sticker price on it.
Oh no. Another shop has closed. What a shame.
It's almost as if they'd rather fail as a business and hold on to their collectibles than make a sale.
Sounds like they should just remove all prices from any comics affected.
