Angry Comic Book Collector Goes On Epic Rant About Shop Owner 

Loved the video!💕 Just started my comic book collection and found Toon Haven. They offer a huge variety of digital comics for every genre, and lifetime updates too!😍

I was at a show once and dude had a sign that basically said "don't pull out books you are not going to buy. Don't make me re-sort a bunch of dollar books". So, I only pulled out books I wanted - the lesson being that sellers should let buyers know their expectations in advance to make the transaction go smoother.

Another UK sub here, love your content! I think one of the reasons for your UK popularity is that your sense of humour is very dry and that appeals to the UK crowd. Keep up the good work!

That’s something that drives me nuts when I see a comic shop not price their books so they can look at eBay at the last moment to raise the price! I walk out every time if I see that

The Lost Boys Poster, a man of class 👑

Sticky is an honorary Brit! You’re welcome to a cup of tea and scone anytime! In fact I almost spat out my tea when Steve said ‘I’m cheap but I’m not that bloody cheap’. Great video 👍

"Cheap as chips" lol ok that one got me rolling on the floor with laughter.

Yeah! You shouldn't treat your customers badly but I've gotten some of my best deals over the years by learning to make friends with collectors that have no social grace or even may be "on the spectrum" as they say these days! Some old guys will get mad at you just for being young! Enjoyable video for sure!

UK subscriber here. Love your videos and take on the comic market in general. Keep doing what you’re doing and keep ruffling those feathers when you need to!

That was very entertaining. I felt like I was there too! Great storytelling! 😂

I will pay for you to visit this shop, Sticky 😂. Fully equipped with strap on.

I have found this is really bad right now, because people have alot of price memory from the highs of 2 years ago. I go into stores seeing books at 800 bucks I know I can find for 300 on ebay as buy it nows. Some shops are willing to look and adjust prices, others wont come down more then 10%. Very frustrated.

Sending love from Virginia, stickygoose! Hope to meet you at heroescon some year

I don't know why we say "cheap as chips" in the UK anymore, because since covid they are not cheap at all!

You will need to make a trip across the great pond and have a english sticky goose meet and greet!

Yes, I'd watch him, and I don't even collect any longer! "The place was damp, mate." I was rolling!

I was not ready for that picture of the owner 💀

UK fan here! London based and love your videos 🤘🏻

Dude is Thanos gone human

If I'm in a store & the owner/clerk gives me the slightest bit of attitude, I just stop right there & walk the hell out.

It sounds like the shop owner may have also further damaged the books he had by grasping them from the guy and slamming them down.

I had an experience many years ago in a UK comic shop. I had recently moved, so was looking for a place to get my weekly books! I collected mainly DC at the time but did pick up a few indies and Marvel. So one week-end I went looking, I found a small shop at the end of the main high st. which advertised outside on a bill board, come in and enjoy coffee and comics. I went in, there were a number of boxes of comics dotted about none in bags or boards and all mostly dog-eared and no more than reading copies, nothing you would want to buy and then keep in a collection, but they did have prices stuck to them so they were for sale. There were several people sitting around chatting, reading and drinking coffee. I worked out who the owner was by the conversation going on, but he didn't seem to acknowledge me, he just continued chatting to what I assume were his regulars. I was about to leave, when one of the "regulars" said oy! Charlie you've got a customer. This Charlie then said "yer! what do you want?" Very customer focused, I don't think!! I asked if he sold new issued comics, he said he did and what ones do I want. So I gave him my list! After looking at it for a few seconds, he proudly told me he didn't order DC shit or indie rubbish, but he would the Marvel books. I was pretty stunned by this, but just took my list from him and left. Takes all sorts, I suppose! This was in the early 90's and the list was for about 40 books a month, I eventually found a great comic shop that I've used for 30+ years! That other place closed down about a year later!

Yeah I have had similar experiences. Can’t avoid some crazies in life, unfortunately. The UK has some “unique” comic shop owners that’s for sure - I’ve been scammed twice (on a Conan 1 mail order, and a first SA Catwoman). Scummy.

AWESOME VIDEO, Sticky.. I love how you're honest letting us know this guy is a fan of yours.. Very cool! I've been away from your channel for a minute, so just catching up.. Appreciate the hard work and amazing commentary..

Wasn't a Sticky fan and had unsubscribed ... but Sticky is like a comfy fungus and grows on you. I'm back on the Sticky Train!!!

Thanos working the register hilarious.

Steven told me about this guy. So I went and paid him a visit. Surprise surprise he was really nice to me as I was filming and doing a video on RU-vid. The comments people left though said they had a terrible experience.

I grew up in Pontypridd, this is 100% accurate to what that shop owner is right. He’s a rip off and likes to make people feel stupid if they don’t listen to his pricing. Put me off engaging with comics and shops like his and still feel a bit of anxiety going into them now.

Also a uk sub. Always watching

Hi from Norway here

English sub here, I think americans would hate trying to collect in the uk, no flea markets, no yard sales, cgc submitting way more difficult, stores are overpriced and condition of comics way lower, anything with any age has price stamps all over it, its painful...

I give the kid props for The Lost Boys poster. Classic movie, arguably the best vampire movie of all time. I try to make it out to Santa Cruz, CA, where the movie was filmed, once a year for the annual movie showing on the beach.

The only thing I can think of was that it might have been at the end of the day and the owner wanted to close up shop? Either way yes, this guy needs to make more videos.

He encountered the Welsh man bun! Lol!!!

Thanks a ton, this was super helpful!

The first thing I thought of was that is an AI generated image of thanos after Endgame.

Haha, 2:10 Thanos is exactly what I said outloud, too. He actually looks like Thanos mixed with Homer Simpson

The shop owner/worker looked like Aughra from Dark Crystal ....MOODY 👀

What a bloody good video lol. Thank you for doing this Sticky Goose, please stay tuned for a brand new video coming very soon 😉

international sticky goose drama

Keep em coming ❤from here in U.K.

UK watcher here

Love how he pronounces SpongeBob

This was great 😂

Youll shit on him when he closes. Youll shit on when he's open.

I'm in the UK (England) Sticky'. Always enjoy your videos. 🙂 I can't agree on this one though. I thought his explanation was rather confused. I understood that the books he picked out came to over £1000, not the long box he offered £100 for. 🤔

I like your topics!!! Keep it up!!!👍🏽

hey hey uk here

Instead of Soup Nazi, he was the Comic Nazi. No comics for you!

I’m not from the UK. USA ! USA ! USA !

Hi from Scotland

If you have a bad experience in a store, it's simple. Don't go back.

UK here 🇬🇧❤️

I agree I think it's funny he's a natural he's not even trying to be funny and he's funny also best light of the day that guy looks like an old Thanos😅😅😅😅

One more UK in da house 😜 That shop owner is that annihilator guy from Spawn. he's a Demon i know it.

Amazing how people sell comics and treat people like garbage. Glad I live in colorado usa

Hi I’m from Kuwait

Fantastic vid!!! Thanks a lot!

Great show guys, thank you

Damn man that's crazy. But don't worry about it. Just don't go to that store

Great video, appreciate you sharing it!

Can't wait to start my collection

wow, great video. thanks so much

very helpful, worth the watch

oh yeah you need a thick skin sometimes to deal with people like that but if you can keep from getting triggered eventually you can build some trust. if its just some rando at a convention or swap meet pfft just walk away but if its a local business its better to wait it out than burn that bridge. you never know what his situation is maybe he is on the verge of losing his business or was ripped off by a customer before or just felt like hed been ripped off. so many people look at price guides or ebay and think books have one value and dont really understand how much condition influences value. ive always kinda sucked at judjing comic book conditions myself and overpay or pass on good books because of that. youtube pro-tip: dont stick your ass in front of the camera unless you are hot and are wearing tight shorts

I will not look through unpriced books. If they can’t be bothered to figure out which ones are the good ones, I will not be doing that work for the low low price of being overcharged for the books you did pull.

Bit stingy innit ☕️

Representing the UK and I hardly collect comics! It’s all about the dramagoose 😂

Hey, I think the shop owner is Ben Grimm 12:08 . I think this is the shop owners "schtick"... it's his way of selling. Maybe it works for him.

Sticky heard a you tuber Tim from lords of long box passed away from heart attack.

Classic bait and Goose.

Irish accent > Southern American accent

🇬🇧

You should probably get both sides of the story before you just 100% believe and side with a dude whose salty he didnt get deals...

Clout? You're not famous Sticky. Known to comic community, Sure.
