Sell your comics
in Halifax.

Right on my doorstep

Halifax made its money in wool and cloth, and the proof still stands in the middle of town. The Piece Hall is the only Georgian cloth hall left in the country, 315 old merchant rooms around a vast open square, and just up the road the Dean Clough mills once wove some of the world's carpet. It was a Halifax shop that gave the world Quality Street, still made here to this day, and Shibden Hall and its Gentleman Jack connection pull the visitors in. At heart though it is a working Yorkshire town, and those are exactly the houses where a comic collection sits in a spare room for thirty years. There are still a couple of proper comic shops in town too.

It is about an hour and forty from me, an easy enough run across to Calderdale.

How it works in Halifax

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 Halifax

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.
