I was visiting from out of town and stopped in for Magic: the Gathering games of EDH/Commander. The staff was exceptionally kind and informative, and the clientele all were great to play with! If I lived here, I would definitely be here weekly and I definitely encourage anyone curious to check it out! They also have sodas available for purchase, and my only gripe was that they didn't have a better variety of drinks, especially healthier ones, or small bites. I'll hopefully be able to return soon!

A couple of days later, the seller canceled my order and refunded my money without any notice or explanation. Their excuse was that they could not fulfill an out-of-state order because they could not charge sales tax. I paid shipping and sales tax on the order, and there was no notice of any restrictions on their website. Curiously, the book was no longer in stock after they canceled my order, and they ignored my communications to find a resolution. This strikes me as dishonest and a poor way to treat customers.

While in Middleton, Wisconsin, I stopped into The Regal Find -- and ended up spending way more time inside than I planned (in the best way). This charming shop is filled with handmade jewelry, local art, vintage treasures, and unique gifts from over 125 U.S. artists, all tucked inside a historic building! Every corner felt thoughtfully curated, and I loved just wandering and taking it all in. If you appreciate supporting artists and finding one-of-a-kind pieces, this is absolutely the kind of place you could spend a while exploring! Such a sweet small-business stop if you're ever in the area!

My experience in person with Evening Star Books as a seller was less than ideal. I mostly had old…read morebooks dating back to the mid-19th century bought at junk stores, garage sales, and similar environments more than 30 years ago in the Pacific Northwest. They were merely things I found interesting -- I'm not a trader or true collector. I arrived with about 20 books at the Evening Star location at the appointed time. Three people were present, the male owner and two women. No one introduced themselves -- I was asked my name for verification -- though I did learn one was his daughter. I sat on a chair in the corner while they selected books from the box and took them to the opposite corner of the office room to research privately on their computers. The man put all but four of the books back in the box, telling me that they weren't in a condition he could or would sell. Other than that, I was not included in any discussion of how their valuations were reached. I was offered $40 for the four, well below a common online sale price listed for the oldest of them. I said no and was promptly handed the four back to put in the box myself. That was it -- no counteroffer, no suggestions, just trash-talking about the well-known book resellers in the area. All told, as a seller, it was a bewildering, distasteful experience.

Longtime Customer, Rewarded with Zero Communication…read more I've been a Westfield Comics customer for over 35 years. Until 2025, I would have considered Westfield a five-star company based on my long history with them. Unfortunately, throughout 2025 I experienced a complete breakdown in customer service communication, which ultimately led me to pull my business. Despite multiple emails and voicemails over several months, I received no responses to documented issues, even while new orders continued to be fulfilled. Unresolved issues included: -Being charged for and shipped trade paperbacks when my subscriptions were for single issues, with no response regarding returns or credits. -Being charged shipping three separate times for a single monthly shipment, with no explanation. -Missing subscription issues that were reported and never acknowledged. Receiving some incorrect items in place of missing books, with no replacements ever provided. -Multiple damaged comics due to a change in packing methods. Recent shipments were packed tightly in boxes with no protective dunnage, resulting in visibly damaged corners on numerous books. I reported the damage by listing each affected titles, but received no response. Mistakes can happen in any business. What ultimately drove my decision to leave was the complete lack of communication. After decades as a loyal customer, being consistently ignored made it clear that customer service is no longer a priority. I'm sharing this review strictly to document my experience so other customers can make informed decisions.

I experienced inexplicable and outright disrespectful conduct from the owner, Bruce, during my last…read morevisit to Capital City Comics. Despite the multiple 1 star reviews citing Bruce's erratic and rude behavior, I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and support a local comics business. I came here a few times over the past year or two and bought a few things with no issue. Recently I went in and grabbed a giant pile of graphic novels to buy, ~$200 worth. The last few times I came in, he charged books at cover price and is generally amicable and friendly. This visit, he said he could not sell the pile of books I wanted because he had to "do some research" to "save me a few bucks" so that he wasn't "over-charging me". I told him that I don't need to save a few bucks and would just like to buy the books as-is and would pay whatever price he wanted, I didn't care about price, I just wanted the books! He grabbed the pile of books and hid them behind the counter and refused to sell them to me. His mood quickly changed to rude and abrasive. He made multiple abrasive comments, effectively ending the conversation. I left the store feeling quite perplexed as I had been nothing but courteous and kind during the visit, and I couldn't fathom what brought about this spate of complete irrational behavior. Is he developing dementia? I can't explain why the owner of a store would NOT want to sell books to someone. These were all books with multiple printings, all of which I've since found on eBay for 1/2 cover price, so I don't think he was trying to rip me off. I can't put it together. I had ~$1000 set aside to spend on graphic novels over the next month, and needless to say it will NOT be spent at Capital City Comics. Life is too short to put up with being treated disrespectfully. I strongly recommend avoiding this place. People like Bruce give comics a bad name, which is a shame because there are so many good and kind people who read comic books. I would rather pay 10x the price for books than be treated like that again.
