I found old series from authors I love, and books from a decade ago that I thought I'd never find. This is really the place to be! Books are categorized from various genres and are kept neatly and in alphabetical order by author's last names. The family who works there is super friendly, welcoming, and takes great care of the store. Thank you Bob! You were very helpful :)

However, Secrets of Strixhaven came out yesterday as the new set for retail. The shop was full of people and product. I have never been in a store so chock-full of product on sale. It had the vibe of an old hold in the wall library. In the back of the store was where the shop owner stood to take orders of cards and packs. He had literally every set of Magic Card packs I had ever heard of, which is definitely different than other stores. The prices were decent for them as well. The best part was they have a shop cat named Panther that greeted me as soon as I walked in. Soooo cute!

Ok first off, the proprietor wasn't rude per se, but he seemed like he would have rather been…read moreanywhere than running a comic shop. If you don't like dealing with the public, perhaps a life in retail is not for you. The place itself is cramped. I liken it to the trash compactor scene in Star Wars. There are random piles of boxes, loose books, and totes in the already narrow aisles making it a difficult task to shop for comics. The comics themselves are all placed in alphabetized short boxes that are stacked upwards of 6 feet high on individual shelves. The boxes each have their lids on them so you have to pull each box down to look inside. Each box is packed so tight though, that you almost can't look through them without taking some out first. I didn't even bother with the bottom shelf if there was a randomly stacked pile of odds n ends in the way. The prices? Non-existent. The owner apparently looks up each book on Ebay for sold comps and goes with the highest price he can find. My son left most of the books he brought up to the register behind. And these weren't the latest hot speculator books. They were random All-Star Squadron books that sold for $7 the last four times they were purchased, though he went with the $15 sale even further back. The thing I take most offense to is that he doesn't look at the condition of the book he is looking up. He just looks up the price. Needless to say, when I got home and found that one of the corners of the $4 I bought was completely wrinkled, I realized the book was probably worth a buck at best. I can't imagine what he would charge for a damaged book that is expensive to start with. Would he even take that into consideration? We drove two hours to check this shop out and ended up spending more on gas than I did at the store. Total waste of our time. Bottom Line : I would not recommend this store to anyone looking for comics or fair pricing.

If you ever get a good deal on a comic, the owner will never forgive you for it and will be rude to…read moreyou every time you visit the store afterwards. The store is poorly organized and the comics are not even priced! Few of them are even bagged or boarded! Basically, it's a pain to figure out what he has in stock, and then you have to wait for him to look every comic up on eBay so he can charge you as much as possible for them. The owner has been sitting on all this stuff for decades and has so few customers that he should be happy when anyone comes in wanting to buy back issues. Instead he basically relies on customers to let him know if any of his comics have any value, and then he takes to his smartphone to figure out how much he can charge you. I visited the store a few times and made $100+ purchases on a couple armloads of comics. The third time I entered, he informed me that I had "cheated" him out of money because ONE of the comics I bought from him previously was worth more than he (and *I*) thought it was at the time. He informed me that it was a "$40 comic", even though it really only sells for $15, and I paid him $5 for it. (Note: He looks at the maximum amounts of what people on eBay are ASKING for certain issues. He doesn't look at the much lower prices that the actual issues end up selling for!) So, I'm supposed to be SO SORRY that I got a bit of a deal on ONE COMIC, even though I gave him over $200 on other comics? The heck with that! I've been in the store twice since, and both times the owner was totally rude to me, like it's still eating him up inside that I gave him $220 when it really "should" have been $235 or whatever. People warned me about the shop before I went there, and actually even another comic shop owner from 100 miles away actually told me that this place is notorious. "You ever been to Pegasus Hobbies up there in Watertown? Yeah, that guy can't stand it when you get a deal from him!" In the four times total that I've been in his shop, NO other customers ever entered. He has few customers, and I can see why. I will never shop there again.

I have placed orders from this store twice now and both times I have had issues with shipping…read more The first time the package was extremely delayed. I waited nearly a month to receive an order for one card. I called a few times and each time I was told: "Oh! We must have missed the card. We will send it out this week"- and then it wasn't on multiple occasions. I also never received the email that it had been sent. It just showed up one day after I had assumed it wasn't coming at all. I took another gamble on the store after they were one of the few in the province to have a specific card I needed. The order came to around $30.00 CAD. I paid for it immediately. I got the confirmation email the same time. In that email it said that I would receive an email when it was shipped. A week rolls around and I still have yet to receive an email, so I give them a call on the Monday. They tell me they're a little behind, but it will be mailed out by Wednesday for sure! By Thursday, still no email. It is now Saturday and I have called again. The postal strike went out on Friday and I was worried about my order being delayed even further despite having placed the original order nearly 2 weeks ago. They didn't ship it. So now, I have no idea when the order will come. It's dependent on the strike (understandable) but my problem lies with the fact I ordered the cards 2 weeks ago. 2 weeks before the strike put them in this situation. They offered me a refund, but the one card in the order is more on the difficult end to find- so I kind of have no choice but to wait. They also told me that I could pay for tracked shipping (about $12) which is nearly half of what the order costs. I'm just very frustrated with the entire situation. It shouldn't have taken so long to mail the order out in the first place. A week I understand- but 2? On the phone I'm constantly passed around saying they have to wait for this person or that- and when I'm given a final answer/date, it's never met. I'm going to wait on my order- hopefully the strike is resolved quickly.. but I won't be ordering from the store again. Yes, their collection is wonderful- I'll definitely give them that! They have a wide range of options so if you're in a tight pinch like I was, I get it- really, just be ready to wait awhile to get the order.

As a result, it's not very accessible. The floors are a mix of wood and stone and can be uneven. There's an upstairs as well. Make sure you take a look there for more recent books. If you're into collecting old books, this place is for you! The shopkeeper is very nice and knowledgeable. I think he's one of the founders although I'm not sure which one. You can find him there most days listening to the radio or reading something. The prices can be a bit high, but that's the case with most book stores these days. I'm happy to support this local business as an alternative to some of the bigger chains that we have in town. I expect that they could probably use the business as well. You'll find the entrance near Chez Piggy downtown. Easy to miss but you won't regret a quick peek inside!
