Buyers beware of comicvendor.com

So I ordered from www.comicvendor.com. It seemed like they had a big selection so it caught my interest. Some members reported their inventory skills were lacking but I was willing to take a chance anyway and hoped some of the books I ordered were available. Their inventory methods are beyond awful. Out of the near 30 books I ordered only 8 were available. I was annoyed at first but I was willing to look past this until what happened next. I received a partial refund for what was unavailable. The amount they refunded didn't add up. It was such a small refund compared to what little was going to be shipped. I checked their note against the original order I placed and added up the amounts. Well it turns out the vendor decided to raise the prices on the few books that were available by double and in some cases triple what I originally purchased them for!

I guess he took it upon himself to think it was OK to do this and that I'd go along with it. Never in all my years of buying online has a vendor ever changed the prices on an item after I've already paid for them. At this point I was PO'd so I sent him an email to cancel my order and refund the rest of my PayPal. I'm waiting for a reply and the rest of my refund. I always like trying new vendors but this was a complete waste of my time!

Guys do yourselves a favor and shop somewhere else. I went ahead and checked good ol' www.MyComicShop.com and www.MileHighComics.com and was able to order just about everything I was originally going to get from this loser.
