When I first went off to college in Richmond, VA years ago I found myself spending almost as much time in class as I did at Dave's Comics. Dave's, advertised in so many comic books, was kind of legendary. His selection and organization were top notch; it seemed whatever you wanted, Dave had it! The fact is where comics are concerned Dave really does have it all except fair prices and good service. I got to know Dave relatively well and he was quite candid about many things including the fact that he is very disdainful of most his customers and thinks buying comics is a waste. At the time I was perhaps too ignorant to realize I shouldn't have been giving that man my business, but as the saying goes I was young and stupid. Many time I witnessed Dave's abrassive manner, not just to customers, but to his employees as well. Price-wise Dave's is not competitive at all. Everything at Dave's is priced at the very top range of any pricing guide and at times even higher. Any other store in the Richmond area will give you better prices (in particular check out any of the four Stories locations, especially the original on Forrest Hill). In summation, if you aboslutely want it right away and can't find it anywhere else you might want to go to Dave's, but be prepared to pay too much and not be treated too kindly.
Pros: Vast selection of high quality comics.
Cons: High prices, no bargains, bad attitude from owner.
