Why should I sell my collection to you?

1. You don't have to be a skilled grader. We'll need a list of your comics, but we won't expect you to provide grading for each issue.
2. You can compare our FIRM offer to other offers before you ship to us.
3. We will buy ALL your comics.
4. We will pre-pay the shipping cost (UPS ground).
5. We'll issue payment within three business days of the arrival of your comics.
6. We'll treat you fairly. See what hundreds of sellers say about their selling experience with us.
7. We're reliable. Lone Star Comics has been in business since 1977 (when we opened our first store). Owner Buddy Saunders, with whom you'll be doing business, has been a comic collector and retailer since 1961 (Our First Ad).
8. We're listed with Dun and Bradstreet.

• Your comics are primarily from the period 1981 to present.
• You want to sell some comics but don't want to sell your entire collection, or you have only a small number of comics to sell.
• You are a retailer or dealer with excess inventory to sell.
• You want to use our Printable Want List and our Want List Buying system to buy comics at comic conventions or online (eBay, etc.) that you can then resell to us at a profit.

• You are a collector wishing to sell your entire collection.
• Your collection includes comics from the 1940s, 50s, 60s, and 70s, or a large number of comics (several hundred or more) from 1981 to present.
• You are a comic store and you want to sell a collection you've purchased or are thinking of buying. In the latter case, submit the collection summary, get our offer, then buy from the seller only if our offer gives you a satisfactory return.

Our want list of comic books and graphic novels contains over 150,000 issues (including almost all issues published before 1981) and is updated daily as our inventory levels change.

We will buy your entire collection, even issues not on our want list. Our preference is complete collections (not cherry-picked) consisting of mostly older comics from the 1940s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s, but collections of newer comics are also welcome. Please do not use this option to submit store overstocks and the like (lots of multiple copies, random issues).

We pay 120% to twice as much in online store credit as we do in cash.

We are buying all comics, regardless of era, for cash or trade credit.

We pay 120% to twice as much in online store credit as we do in cash.

1. You record the comics that you want to sell using our easy online buying system. For each issue, you will see if the issue is on our want list and how much we'll pay for the issue.
2. You can review the comics you've recorded and choose which ones you want to offer for sale.
3. Submit your list of comics for sale.
4. We will respond with an authorization for you to ship your comics. At this point, you will know our offer for all of your comics as you have graded them.
5. You ship us your comics. You do not need to type a list of what you're sending; our system will generate a shipping invoice that you can print.

6. We receive and grade your comics. If our grading agrees with what you originally recorded, you will be paid the amount of our original offer. If any comics graded higher than what was originally recorded, you will be paid proportionally more. If any comics graded lower than what was originally recorded, you will have the option of either accepting a proportionally* lower offer or having the comics securely packaged and shipped back to you (More information on your retraction option).

   Of the millions of comics (literally) we have bought through our online system, sellers have accepted our offer on 99.75% of all the comics shipped to us. We always sell comics at the same grade assigned when we bought the comic; you do not need to worry about us buying it from you at a lower grade and then selling it at a higher grade. For more information, see our feedback from sellers. Also, you can review our New In Stock Comic Books page, which lists comics we've recently added to our inventory.

   * Please see our notes on comics with little or no value.

7. If you choose to be paid in cash, we'll mail you a check within two business days. If you would rather receive mycomicshop store credit, your credit will be issued to your mycomicshop account for immediate use.

1. You send us a summary of your collection. The summary includes questions about how many comics you have, their age, general condition, etc. It can be filled out in as little as five minutes. If you already have a text file, Excel CSV spreadsheet, or some other document listing all the comics in your collection, you may attach this document as part of your collection summary.
2. We will review your collection summary, and then contact you via email or phone within three business days. We will ask you to provide a complete list of your collection at this point. There's no grading required — just list your titles and issues. Your collection may be submitted one of two ways:
   • You may enter your comics into our collection recording page. Listing your comics is easy and quick. Collections submitted in this way receive a firm offer within three business days. We recommend you do so even if you have a list of your books.
   • If you decline to enter your list via our system, you will need to provide an asking price during your survey. We will not make a counter-offer, but if we refuse your offer you will be welcome to resubmit your collection via our Want List Buying system.
3. When we have agreed on a price, you will be prompted to ship us your books. If you entered your books into our system, we will arrange for your shipping via UPS Ground or ground freight (within the continental US only).
4. Once we receive your collection, we will verify the collection is as represented and send payment to you within two business days. If you choose to be paid in cash, we'll mail you a check. If you would rather receive mycomicshop store credit, your credit will be issued to your mycomicshop account for immediate use.

We will add a shipping rebate to your credit or cash total to compensate for the cost of shipping your comics to us. Depending on what comics you're selling, the shipping rebate will cover some or may even cover all of your shipping cost.
