It’s fun to see all of the different kinds of work that goes on in a comic shop. Cleaning the floor, researching prices, deciding inventory, making sales. That seems pretty interesting. 6:37

That was cool! Thanks for showing us! Good luck with your new job! But always remember to be AWARE and make sure you are prioritizing yourself first! Don't let people, customers/employers...manipulate and use your kind heart like a slave!

Keep this type of content up because nobody does this like behind the scenes type of thing, man, bro you got yourself a follower I can bring many people with me. I’m big into the scene.

We didn't film the customers because we would've had to have asked permission. Thanks for watching!

Would love to see more behind the scenes stuff while you guys are pricing old books. Maybe do a run through of any collections that came in - key issues, big finds, hidden gems, favorite books. Maybe get a weekly update of what the owner recommends from the new books.

@ottotalkscomics 6 күн бұрын

That would be really fun! I'll for sure look into filming some more content at the shop.

@jon6309 6 күн бұрын

Hmm I was always curious with how comic book shops operate. I’m the type of customer who digs in the $1 bins and I always question if the shop is actually making any money from me.

back issues on spinner racks....why? the customers leaf through those bending them up as they go. I wouldn't put anything but 25 cent books on those.

@ottotalkscomics 5 күн бұрын

We don’t keep very many back issues on each spinner rack, so the issues aren’t at risk of being bent👍

@madmax8620 5 күн бұрын

Because they're used to bending each other over there... 👉 👌🏻👬

I’ve been out of the hobby more than 20 years since I was a kid. Now I have kids and they got me back into it. I hear and see this term several times, 1:50 chance to get variant. Obviously these are not sports cards enclosed in packs…what does it mean? Thanks

@ottotalkscomics 4 күн бұрын

I had that same question before i worked at the shop! It’s actually referencing how many copies the shop orders of something. So a 1:10 variant cover means that the shop needs to order 10 copies of the comic before they unlock the ability to order that variant. Hope this was helpful.

@Koval_71_chuk 3 күн бұрын

@@ottotalkscomics ah! Then now thinking about, 2 unknown things could happen if “customer” isn’t present (stopping myself mid sentence and this really makes you wonder what goes on behind the counter) 1 - you won’t know how many the store will order to unlock variant & 2, that Variant could be long gone before me or any other potential customer that is looking for said variant. Kinda like, what was there before the Universe 😫😆 I really dig these kind of content, so do my kids. Keep it up Champ!
