If I asked abou...I agree with you to a point, Jeff. If I asked about a particular comic, I'd expect the shop person to be honest with me, too. I'd be pretty pissed if he wasn't, especially if I got home, read the book and found out I was just fed a bunch of misinformation for the sake of a sale.<BR/><BR/>I think the issue here, though, is that the retailer offered an unsolicited negative opinion as part of something that was meant to promote sales at his store. Promoting sales by telling people not to buy something seems counterproductive.<BR/><BR/>In the original item, the retailer mentioned another X-book as a possibly better alternative to the one he was criticizing; it would have been more productive to positively promote that book (he could even compare it in passing as a better choice than the other title) and encourage his customers to pick it up the next time they were in his store.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for commenting, Jeff!Maxohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748486083449206825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679362097182696260.post-29850539921712039032008-08-13T13:22:00.000-05:002008-08-13T13:22:00.000-05:00I dunno, I go to my local comics shop guy for hone...I dunno, I go to my local comics shop guy for honest advice. I'd appreciate him telling me something was crappy. I might buy it anyway if it was just a matter of him not liking that particular genre or whatnot and a matter of taste, but I'd want him to be honest.Jeff Heberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732306951663286466noreply@blogger.com
