About Hills of Comics

This comic shop has some great key books, and an excellent selection of back-issues. The problem is...most are priced at 200% FMV, at least. GL, Volume 3 generic back-issues for $10, each? A Fine- Batman 366 for $80? A VG+ Batman #400 for $40? Maybe I just don't get West Coast pricing...but as awesome as this place is, it's just not worth the time, given how obscenely over-priced their books are. A great place to see some awesome comics. NOT a place to buy, though. UPDATE: Went back, two days later. Picked out a stack of books, and did the homework to find FMV for everything (Covrprice, Overstreet, and MCS). Brought them to the counter, and asked the gentleman to check for current pricing. He went immediately to ebay, looking at NM prices. The books I had selected were not NM condition. Maybe Fine+ or VF. His offer to me was still almost 180% of FMV. I declined, and left. Again....great selection of comics. Just WAY overpriced. UPDATE #2: I found myself back out here, a year after my first crack at it, and thought I'd take another look. While the location has changed...the astronomical pricing has not. $2 back-issues are priced at $10, each. Minor key books are marked up 100% of FMV. This place is a waste of time, unless you hate your money and want to throw it away.
