Great place to buy Comic Books and supplies at very reasonable price, or just stop in and say Hi to Jimmy just a great guy...

My son sold some playing cards (something like YuGiOh or Pokemon or something) to the man at Comic Central on West Broomfield 4 weeks ago. He has been giving my son the runaround ever since. Please keep in mind that my son is ELEVEN YEARS OLD. The guy sold his cards on Ebay, keeping 30% for himself, leaving my son with $45 coming back to him. After 2 weeks of my son asking for his money (and he was making his OWN phone calls to this man - not relying on us to do it for him), he finally told my son that he could come get his payment. Well, 2 1/2 weeks ago, I took him there after work and the guy gave him $20 and said, "sorry, I'll have to get the rest to you". He came out to the car and told me, so I went in and told him that was not acceptable. He said he didn't have the rest of the money (well, where did it go???), and that he would mail my son a check. A week passed, with my son asking every day if his check came. No check. So, last Thursday I called him again and got a story that he had been out of town and forgot his checkbook, and that he'd mail it in a day or 2. Again, a week passed, so I went in there. My older son and I walked in there tonight and stood, patiently waiting while he was about to help a customer. (My son was with his dad at the time). The guy, right in front of everyone there, said he felt like I was treating him like a criminal and that I'm HARASSING him. At first I laughed because I thought he was kidding. Then he said, "no, for real". And then went on about how I have a horrible attitude about all of this and that he is just not sending my son his money because we keep asking for it. I stayed very calm and just said SIR. You took money from an 11 year old BOY. You sold something with the understanding that you would keep your portion, not keep your portion AND his. I have not done anything wrong here. He stood his ground for a few minutes, claiming he didn't have the money. I said that I live a half hour away and this is now the 4th time I've had to come in regarding this, and that I'm done. (Not to mention that as we were walking in, a guy was walking out with comic books in hand -- no money?). I said I would not be coming back and that my son will NOT be a customer of his again, and that I can't believe he would treat his customers like this. I can't believe this person yelled at me and was trying to make his other customers think I was some crazy person with the looks and gestures he was making. I'm sure he's just trying to look "cool" in front of his friends, but seriously. We're talking about a GROWN MAN trying to take advantage of a little boy. This is called being a bully. In the end, he still owed my son $25. I managed to get $20 out of him. As he handed it to me, I politely said "thank you. That was all we wanted. Merry Christmas." I will NOT be returning, and I suggest if you know of this place, that you do not either. As a matter of fact, when he was on the phone when we were coming in, he was telling someone else that he couldn't get their money to them till next week. What kind of business is this? He should be ashamed of himself. I'll make the $5 difference up to my son myself. Lord have mercy. read more
