Hello Community,

My name is Chris Eustice and I’m trying to raise money to buy my friend, Larry’s, Comic Book Store. (Galaxy Comics Located in Wichita Falls, Texas). I plan to turn the existing store into the premier gaming, comics, and toy store of Wichita Falls and the surrounding area using great existing inventory and an unrivaled customer service. This is my dream job.
A few years ago my life got turned upside down as mounting health problems caused me to get fired from my job, but I could not sit and feel sorry for myself. I have wanted to own a Comic Book Store ever since I was 8 years old and I had to ride 2 different buses across town to get to this same shop that I am now looking at buying.
I have spent 25 years as a customer at this very store. I started as a collector of Marvel Comics trading cards then a player of Magic the gathering. I play miniatures as well now. My wife loves getting as many people as she can to play board games. It can be as simple as Candy Land, as long as she gets to play. I love running tournaments for all of the games. Especially Legacy tournaments, I have spent the last 4 years rigorously building the Legacy community here, with great results, might I say. Several I've helped produce a couple SCG top 16 players, and even a top 4 placing.
I have really gotten into the comics as well. My favorite is Batman comics. I read every series I can get ahold of, and I love it.
I have been working/ volunteering in the store for years now and I feel I have got the ins and outs of the business. I have a deep passion for the store, and I would really love to exemplify the great things about the store and improve what things need more attention. I read magazines, blogs, articles, taken some business management courses, etc. on running this kind of business. I spend my time laying in bed at night thinking about improvements I would make to the business. Below I've listed My Facebook page for my store start up, the current store, and MY GO FUND ME. If you have it in you, stop by the page; LIKE, SHARE, COMMENT, and if you have the means please DONATE.
Your generosity is greatly appreciated. Every LIKE is important, every SHARE means potentially hundreds of new people seeing helping me achieve my dreams, and every DONATION gets me excited about my next step in becoming a premier gaming store.

Sincerely,
Chris Eustice

This morning I woke and it dawned on me that I might be in violation of some of the forum rules, as it is probably considered soliciting. I'd like to apologize if this is the case. If some changes need to be made I'd be more then happy to comply with the site rules. I'd also like to say THANK YOU to those you have already visited my FACEBOOK.

As this is an interest in building a community and not trying to directly sell cards or a collection, there are no problems with this thread.

Good luck, man. I hope everything works out!
