Eastside Lansing's Capital City Collectibles
is cleaning house and moving from its 2016 E. Michigan Ave. to a new
venue a few doors down, making way for a new business.
According to excerpts from the article:
After
five years at 2016 E. Michigan Ave., Capital City Collectibles is
moving a few blocks away to a smaller location because the building
whose first floor he leases has been sold. So, between now and the end
of the month, Capital City will be having a massive sale to get rid of
inventory as well as an auction on Oct. 30. At his new location, at
1723 E. Michigan, the plan is to have a more focused, accessible stock.
On Friday, Jahner was sorting through his comics for duplicates,
sending redundancies to the dollar-bin, even if they are worth up to
$20. The majority of the store’s non-comic stock is discounted up to 50
percent. The price of comic and cartoon art hanging on the walls can be
negotiated with Jahner, who has made a further offer to literacy
institutions.
“If any schools or libraries are interested, I’d be very willing to
donate books to them for free,” he said. However, a simple move down
the street isn’t going to get in the way of some of the store’s
dedicated customers. “I’ve been a consistent customer for decades, and
CCC has been a supporter of our collection,” said Randall Scott, who
works at the Michigan State University library and was browsing the
store recently. “It’s the closest thing we’ve got to a good
old-fashioned comic book store in the area. When they move, I’ll still
be coming in, makes no difference to me the location.”
