WORST STORE EVER
EarthWolrd OWNER JC is RUDE & DISRESPECTFUL
SOLD ME A KEY BOOK WITH MISSING PAGES
JUST GO ONLINE ITS CHEAPER
I went into EarthWorld Comics on multiple occasions from 10/14/2013 - 11/1/2013, and spent over $2000. On one visit I spent $1400, and on the second I spent $650. I purchased ANY Silver Age Key issue he had.
Thinking there was nothing wrong with the Comic Books, I left EarthWorld Comics and started reading the Amazing Spiderman issue #11. Working my way up through all the titles I purchased.
About 3 weeks after I was cataloging my entire collection, not just Comic Books, for insurance purposes. I decided to make a PDF file and organize all my books in Alpha-Numeric order with grades as well.
On 11/14/2013, Since I do not consider myself an expert grader, I brought in 12 of the books to EarthWorld Comics that I purchased from Owner JC personally so he could help me grade them. HE FLAT OUT REFUSED ME and insisted I do it myself.
Upon grading them myself, I finally reached the Amazing Spiderman issue #47, after days, since I had to give my self a crash course in grading. I have a very busy life so I dont sit and read Comic Books all day, otherwise I would have noticed issue #47 of the Amazing Spiderman had missing pages and loose pages. When I reached issue #47, I noticed pages 3 and 4 were missing, also pages 14 and 15 were not attached to the book. I was sure if I brought it back to EarthWorld Comics the Owner JC woukd just let me take another book that had a $35.00 price tag on it. Honest mistake, people make them all the time I thought to myself.
On 11/20/2013, I went to EarthWorld Comics with the Incomplete Issue #47 of the Amazing Spiderman. Immediately, Owner JC denied it was ever his book. "That's not my book!", Was his reply without even a pause after I said it was incomplete. I assured him it was his book as I have not purchased any comic books from anywhere else since then. He was obstinate and continued saying "Once you buy it it's yours. It's been 3 weeks, how do I know?". He then walked away from the counter and started digging through books. I stood there for about 15 seconds in confusion.
I then looked over at him and said "Are you calling me a liar? Because I can assure you that this is your book. You sold it to me. If I was trying to pull something here, I would have come with a price tag of $250, not $35." He walked back to the counter and actually took a look at the book he was so sure wasn't his.
After seeing the missing pages and loose pages he said, "I would never sell something like this. I would have noticed something like this". After arguing with him for about 10 mins, he finally said "Fine, I'll give you $15 store credit that's it.".
I replied "Your not being fair, you could easily exchange this out for me because you know I am not lying to you. This has a $35 price tag on it, I should get something of equal value. I think that is fair."
He replied "Fine, I'll give you $15 cash, final offer. Take it or leave it! Why should I give you anything more?" While he said take it or leave it, he slammed his hand down on the counter. I didn't think much of it. But I did not think he would get violent either!
I said to him "JC, it's not about the money, it's about the principal. I am not trying to pull any funny business, I just want something of equal value because that is fair! ITS ABOUT GOOD BUSINESS!". He barely let me talk, talking over me so I had to repeat every word multiple times. Openly being rude, aggressive, and disrespectful.
He then reached over the counter and grabbed the Comic Book, that I was holding in my hand! He gave a tug and said "Give me the book!". Then he gave a second pulled so hard the comic ripped right out of my hands while he said loudly "GIVE ME THE DAMN BOOK!". He took the comic and threw it very h@!%!*n the floor behind him, making a big rattle in the process.
I said "What the hell are you doing?!? Give me my book back!". He reached in his pocket and put $35 on the table. I said "It's not about the money, I dont even want to do business with someone who would treat me like that! Just give me my book back, I don't want your money!"
He replied "I don't EVER want to see you in my store EVER again! Get out of my store NOW or I will call the cops on you!". He said this to me, for trying to exchange an incomplete book that he sold me worth only $35! What kind of person does that.
I did not want anything more to do with Earthworld Comics or the Owner JC, so I took the $35 he put on the table and said while I walked out "WOW, I can't believe thst just happened!" I really wanted to leave the money on the table, but giving that man another penny would not sit right with me.
I finally understand why everyone told me to not shop there. Honestly just go online its MUCH CHEAPER.
There are also many local dealers without store fronts with much better prices.
