I actually travel the country visiting comic and game shops as part of my job. It's a great way to earn a living and it makes me very happy... usually. In my 20 years of experience as a comic book collector, I never dreamed a store as unprofessional as this ever existed.
First, calling this place a ""store"" is generous because it implies that it a legitimate business, owned and operated by educated individuals, when in fact, nothing could be farther from the truth.
Second, it implies that the location is even shop able. The product is not at all easily accessible in neat organized displays, but rather lost in dusty heaps of damaged product. I have been to garage sales that are better merchandised and frankly, as a collector, the mangled products are disgusting. It broke my heart to open boxes only to find bent cards, broken toys, and comics that were neither bagged nor boarded.
Third the prices are OUTRAGEOUS!!! The collectibles market is like the stock market, it fluctuates over time. Any single product's value rises or falls based off the principles of supply and demand. As demand goes down so do the prices, except at Time Traveler's, where prices remain at each products all time high no matter how out dated or obsolete. They even charge above suggested retail prices on current regular retail products. I pity the poor fool who pays their ridiculously overinflated prices.
Parking is horrible. You are better off finding some place down the street to walk from your vehicle (and shop).
Lastly, I have NEVER, EVER, witnessed such HORRENDOUS customer service in any business any where! The staff is overtly hostile to customers and they are not joking with a smile on their face either, they flat out scream and yell at anyone who dares interrupt their surfing the internet, hanging out with friends, or ask a question about the rows and rows of product that is hidden away behind the counter. They do not hesitate to make it clear that they neither need nor want your business over the merest perceived slight and frankly they don't deserve it.
In summary, I could not possibly give this business a positive review in any category. They are ignorant, rude, and overcharging their customers for inferior product. You the reader would be best served taking you money somewhere, ANYWHERE else.
