Sell your comics
in Ingleby Barwick.

Right on my doorstep

Ingleby Barwick is one of the largest towns in the Stockton borough and almost entirely modern, built out from the 1980s onwards on land south of the Tees. No town centre with decades of history, but tens of thousands of houses filled by people who grew up reading comics in the eighties, nineties and two thousands, which is exactly the era I know best.

Ten minutes from Stockton, so this is easy for me to fit alongside a Stockton or Yarm collection in the same trip.

How it works in Ingleby Barwick

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 Ingleby Barwick

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.
