I'm rather new to the whole buying anime and I only just discovered Rightstuf a year ago. I'd like to hear other opinions on Robert's Anime Corner Store. There are a couple of out of print items I'd like to obtain and RACS is the only store I can find that has them available. So what I'd like to know is
1) Is Robert's Anime Corner Store legit?
2) Will I get the items?
3) Do I have to worry about my credit card information?
4) Are items from RACS legit NOT bootleg items?
Thanks in advance Smile

1) Is Robert's Anime Corner Store legit? - Yes
2) Will I get the items? - Yes.
3) Do I have to worry about my credit card information? - No more so than any other legit online retailer (in other words there is no such thing as a completely 100% "safe" online credit card transaction).
4) Are items from RACS legit NOT bootleg items? - They are legit.

TRSI is the big boy on the block but RACS, though smaller, is equally legit.

I would like to add that their service is excellent. They ship very quickly, usually in one or two business days. Packaging is very secure.

RAC is legit, no bootlegs. I buy stuff from their Amazon store once in a while. Based on my experience from a couple years ago, I think they sometimes forget to update their inventory. I've made only one order through their website so far, for two very out-of-print items that were listed as in stock. They sent a polite email stating that the items were unfortunately out of stock and canceled my order. Nothing shady happened to my credit card information.

I've bought stuff from RAC's a few times.
Last time was through Amazon actually... he's got a store link there as does TRSI.

He's a good reliable vendor.

One of the longest-lasting anime vendors behind TRSI.

Chances are good if you can't find something on TRSI you might get it through him.
