Well I'm pleased to say that the store is coming along, I have a few more things to do before we open the store, but it looks great (I'll post some pics as soon as possible) Some friends of mine sold me some vintage toys (Masters of the universe Eternia playset still in box), New adventures of he-Man Starship Eternia, and a meteor looking headquarters, Some Bionic Six toys including the headquarters and most of the figures still on card (thanks john) the Sears Cobra headquarters still with box, a bunch of transformers and go-bots, some Gaxagy Ranger figures, Silverhawks, thundercats,M.A.S.K., and Inhumanoids. All of these will be displayed (some will not be for sale, but most will. I will be stoking a large assortment of Star Wars and G.I.Joe toys and comics. There will be plenty of Marvel and Spawn figures as well. The Comics are my main concern, I've had friends help me price these fair, from Mint AFA Graded to the value bin, I want people to come in and go WOW!

Dude, after reading that, I'm already going wow! Too bad your store is no where near Greensboro, NC

Yes, I agree........Hire a hot chick. It is the one element that is missing from almost every comic/toy shop out there!

TK, once again don't be a dick to customers! Whenever I buy something from a comic shop, they make me feel as if I shouldn't be collecting anything at all!

well congrats on your new venture. ill second a hot chick. cant hurt.
treat your customers well and they will come back. keep your prices fair. shop your competitors. even if its a day of driving to any shops withen an hour radius you can get a sense of what there like. also consider renting space in your store. like a glass display case so others can sell there vintage toys. you could charge them monthly or charge a commission on what sells. same with comics and such. just keep it clean, organized, and friendly and you will do well. theres a shop in my town thats been there since i was a wee lad and is still there. he does all the above and hes still around. hope this helps also advertise smartly. local penneysaver is a nice way to go. print adds are nice in newspaper but pricey. if you go that route do an insert not a black and white on the first section. no one ever looks at the black and whites. again good luck

Something I saw at a comic book store once that I really thought was a good idea..
Offer a subscription plan for regular customers that allows them to select a specific comic line/title.. that you will always reserve for them for when they come in.. and when they're available, just give them a call to pick up.. Not sure how it worked.. but at least the idea is out there for you to tinker with now. I'd see employees pulling titles off the shelves in stacks.. and then keep them behind the counter somehow.. until the customer came to pick them up. |
