Sell your comics
in York.

A city that keeps hold of its history

York is a city that takes its own history seriously, and that habit extends to what people keep. Between a long settled population and a large student one, there are collections here spanning everything from Silver Age Marvel to last month's independent releases.

It also has a genuine second hand culture, which means I quite often see collections that have already been partly picked through. If someone has taken the good ones and left the rest, say so, it changes what a fair offer looks like and I would rather know upfront.

How it works in York

York is a straightforward drive and I am happy to travel for a worthwhile collection.

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 York

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.
