Sell your comics
in Barnsley.

Right on my doorstep

Barnsley has held a market since 1249 and grew through the Victorian age into the heart of the South Yorkshire coalfield, a town shaped almost entirely by coal and iron until the pits closed. That kind of history tends to leave streets full of families who have been there for generations, which is exactly where an old collection sits forgotten in a loft rather than getting cleared out.

Sits between Sheffield and Wakefield, so I can usually build a Barnsley collection into a wider South Yorkshire trip.

How it works in Barnsley

1. Send photos. Covers and spines are enough to start. If it is a full collection, a photo of each box and a few close-ups of anything you think might matter.
2. I go through them properly. You get an itemised view rather than one number for everything, so you can see which comics carry the value and which do not.
3. You decide. No pressure, no obligation, and no hard feelings if you would rather sell elsewhere or keep them.
4. I collect and pay. Free collection, and payment on the day rather than when something eventually sells.

What I am looking for in Barnsley

Marvel and DC from the 1960s through to the 1990s, key first appearances, complete runs, independent titles and horror. I will also take the ordinary boxes alongside the good stuff, because leaving somebody with four boxes of comics nobody wants is not much of a service.

Not sure whether yours are the ones that matter? The comic values section goes through the most commonly asked about issues, honestly.

Why sell to me rather than a general dealer

Most house clearance firms and general second hand dealers price comics by the box, because they have no way to tell a valuable issue from a common one. That is fine for them and expensive for you. I read these, I sell them, and I know the difference between a first printing and a reprint, and between a newsstand copy and a direct edition.
