Q.  Isn’t all this stuff for geeks?

A. Yes. 

Q.  So what’s a geek?

A. Typically a geek is a person of above average intelligence who isn’t content with mundane entertainments. Geeks account for about 10% of society and 99% of upper management. I personally believe the other 90% of society are lying closet geeks based on the current total net earnings of the Harry Potter and LotR franchises. So embrace your inner geek and tell the world “I will one day employee you!” 

Q.  Do you buy collectible whatsits?

A.  We occasionally buy back issues of comics and used horror, fantasy, and sci-fi books. We are always buying good Magic rares. We do not offer consignments at this time. For comics we pay .25 cents cash or .50 cents in store credit, books are .50 cents cash or $1 in store credit, and Magic rares are 50% of the value in trade or 25% cash. Anything else of interest please bring it by, we would love to see your stuff! Please no Beanie Babies, Action Figures from the last 10 years, or Pet Rocks…. 

Q.  How do I know how much my stuff is worth?

A.  Search eBay “Completed Auctions” and see what the last one sold for. This is exactly how much your Pet Rock is worth. 

Q. Can I sell or trade my stuff to other players?

A.  The Florida Department of Revenue requires that we collect sales tax on all cash transactions within the store. However, players are welcome to trade their stuff within the gaming areas at no charge. 

Q.  I only read “The Mind-Boggling Spider-Guy,” will you hold a copy for me?

A.  Yes! There is no minimum on our pull & hold service. Just tell us which titles you read and we will “pull & hold” them for you. We only ask that you pick up your comics at least once a month. A two month deposit is required and this amount is credited towards your purchases after 1 year. 

Q.  Do you do special orders?

A.  Yes! Special orders are no hassle. If it is currently in print, we can usually get it for you in less than a week. Orders over $25 require a 50% deposit and all special orders and held comics must be picked up within 30 days. 

Q.  I am a total noob at this game, will I get totally Pwn3d ?

A.  Probably, but you will have fun doing it. None of our guys are “power players” looking to bathe their egos in noobie blood. In fact, some of our best players have been playing for less than a year. At Comic Emporium its all about the game and spending a few hours having fun with a great bunch of geeks just like you. While we do recognize our winners, we also reward random door prizes and our Team Comic Emporium Player’s Incentives Program lets you earn cool stuff just for showing up! Our regulars are happy to teach you, update you, or make suggestions to improve your game. So whether you’re a complete scrub or used-to-play-old-schooler - BRING IT! Its the most fun you can have getting your face smashed in. 

Q.  Do you charge anything to play?

A.  At Comic Emporium there is never a cover charge and the only time we charge an entry fee is for certain tournaments which require the purchase of product in order to participate, i.e. Booster Drafts and Sealed Decks. The entry fee is always the cost of the product only and is sometimes discounted below this. The gaming areas are always available for anything you want to play at no charge.

Q. Can I place a link to my blog on your website?

A.  If you’re a local with an interesting site, we’d love to add you, space permitting. In addition, we are always looking for folks to handle news, reviews, and tournament reports, etc. If you are interested, write us at bringit@comicemporium.net or call Greg at (850) 769-2690.
