I like to dig for old comics, so most shops I've had access to in Europe are increasingly disapointing in that regard as they tend to dismiss back issues more and more. But what annoys me the most is when the shop is too clean : I like it when books are piling on each other and not really organized since this is my best chance to find something unexpected, only accessible through heavy digging.
My regular LCS is the one I have my pull list with. I also have to double check it every time I visit them (every 3-4 months) since they tend to miss some issues. But I can't complain too much since they're pretty gentle about keeping products so long for me. What does annoy me over there is that I know more about comics then the 10 people that work there, which means that I can't ask them for recomendation. Even worse, they admited that when they're looking for book suggestions outside the box, they chec my pull list box!

Thats a poor excuse to shut their downs. Not everyone uses Comicsology or whatever its called. Even I dont use stupid tablet or Kindle related comic book apps.

Im still into old school single issues, back issues from comic book shops. I just dont have the time or money to go shop at a comic book shop. Once a year is good enough for me since I just dont like to go traveling alot etc. But I am planning on going out of town for the next couple of days anyway and go for a 2 hour drive to a city where there is that one comic book shop I used to love going to years ago just to look around etc.

Digital is killing all print media. Comics , because of its collectable nature , might be the last to go.

It might be worth it for big fans of the Karl & Barbara Kessel Hawk & Dove series...

For the most part, the same books will collect dust in these bins for months and the only time the shops in my area ever move back issue units is when they have massive 50% off sales. That should really give them a wake up call that their normal prices aren't reasonable for their average customer, who usually isn't a back issue collector like most of us here. 

When I run into situations like this, I will make an offer on the books that I want and see if they will take it.  Most of the time, as long as the offer is reasonable, they will work with me, but I have had folks flat out refuse to lower their prices, which is their prerogative as the business owner.  It's not good business, IMO, since it will put cash in their hand that day rather than hoping for a bigger return in the future, but that's their choice. 

I had one guy stick to his guns on a couple of issues of the original Star Wars series over #100, stating that they were low print run because they were at the end of the series and with the new movie coming out (this was back in mid-2014, but he was already looking ahead), demand for those issues was only going to go up.  I didn't end up buying the books because his prices were unreasonable, and when I went back into his store about two months after The Force Awakens came out, those books were still sitting there at his inflated prices.    

Similar story (kinda):

There's a local shop that has a ton of old promo material (freebies that shops displayed in the 90's) that they're usually willing to sell, but at ridiculous prices.  Apparently they have a warehouse full of stuff, so new items float in on a semi regular basis.  Last year I noticed a mobile for the '93 Green Lantern/Darkstars/LEGION crossover, Trinity.  It was on top of a pile of stuff fresh from the warehouse.  Cool item from one of my favorite eras, so I inquired.  After a bunch of "um, uh..." the owner said he's take $100 for it, and that he's seen the same item go for $200 on eBay.  I offered $50 and he declined, stating that it would sell in a hearbeat for $100 once he displayed it. 

Fast forward nearly 6 months, and I see the damn thing has been shuffled to a different pile on the other side of the store, and it's now banged up beyond any sellable price.  I visit the store regularly and never once saw it on display.  

I realize it's the guys prerogative to ask whatever price he wants for something, but since then I've had another instance where he passed on what I thought was a reasonable offer - this time for a Zero Hour promo poster that's now being used as a coaster by his staff.
