Sell your comics
in Marske-by-the-Sea.

Right on my doorstep

Marske sits quietly between Redcar and Saltburn, a village mentioned in the Domesday Book that spent part of the twentieth century as an RAF aerodrome. It has never really been a resort in its own right, which suits it, terraces and post war streets rather than seafront hotels, and exactly the kind of place where a childhood collection gets left behind rather than sold on.

Close enough to Redcar and Saltburn that a trip out usually covers more than one collection at a time.

How it works in Marske-by-the-Sea

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 Marske-by-the-Sea

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.
