Perth's Quality Comics closing/selling

[Kyle]

Received this news about a week ago. Been a regular customer for more than 10 years so I have some mixed feelings. They haven't been what they used to be for a few years now, after the original owner left, then the manager. (Shane McCarthy used to be an old staff there too.) The old shop has seen a couple of new owners come and go (some nice, some not so nice) but the staff still served me very well and I have always been a happy customer there. About a year ago, the old owner and manager opened a new shop together. The two were very very nice people and I thought about switching to the new shop from time to time, but never ended up doing it. Really wanted to support the new shop but I also felt crappy leaving the old shop. Now comes the news and it is sad to see the old shop go. Personally I see this as the time for myself to stop collecting comics for a while. Over the years this "hobby" has grown out of hand and I think I really have accumulated waaay too many hobbies. Anyway, best wishes for the current owner and staff. I hope they manage to find a buyer soon.

I've seen how many comics you buy Kyle, you could fund a small nation with what you spend on them.

[roller]

is that the one that is underground?

[1orion2many]

Yes it is young roller.

is that the one that is underground?

Yeah it's the one near The Empire.

Are they having a big going out of business sale?

I look at what I have accumulated over the years and all I can think about now is "WTF?"

is that the one that is underground?

Yes.

bah! good riddance

They have nothing

Family friends over here in WA know all the people who work there and apparently McCarthy as well. I met someone who once worked there

I didn't ask them. But my friend did and he reckons there'll be one.

Well, I feel sorry for the families of some of the staff members. It's always hard to find a new job and they have young kids to feed.

maybe they should ask the Government for a rescue package like the Americana car industry
