Questions

How do you decide what to offer?

We look at recent sold prices, condition, demand and how many copies we already have. Key issues and high-grade books get the most attention, and we're happy to walk you through any offer.

Do my comics need to be graded?

No. Most of what we buy is raw (ungraded). We'll grade it ourselves when we look it over. Graded slabs are welcome too.

Is there a minimum?

No minimum. Whether it's one key book or thousands of comics, we're happy to take a look.

How long does it take?

You'll have a written offer within 72 hours of our review. Payment goes out within 7 business days after we receive and check the books.

What if I don't accept the offer?

No problem, and no obligation. If you've already shipped books to us, we'll ship them back to you, with return shipping paid by the seller.

Do you buy toys, art or other collectibles?

Right now we only buy comics and graphic novels.
