You can also offer for sale or trade other items not in our database, including comics, magazines, graphic novels, pulps, paperbacks, fanzines, tabloids, Big Little Books, and related paper items, as well as original art, toys pre-1980, pre-1980 DC and Marvel Slurpee Cups, and other collectibles. NOTE: Items already in our database should not be submitted under this option.
I wanted to express my gratitude for the way my trade was handled. Even though there were some differences in my grading and yours, I never felt that I was treated unfairly ($265.31 value by my grading; $265.57 by your grading). I like the fact that I had the opportunity to get the books back you graded lower than me, although in this case I didn't use that option. The whole process was pretty simple. What surprised me most is the ease of recording the books. Your catalog system is easier to negotiate than other sites that are set up specifically for that (sites that charge fees). Anyway, I placed an order just now and it was nice to save some money in my bank account by using credit instead. Thank you for continuing to be the easiest online comic shop to buy from.

Hi Buddy, just some random thoughts and thank yous I wanted to share. My observations are probably very obvious to many, but for some reason it has just dawned on me what a great service your business has provided for collectors. As you know, in the pre-internet days, it was almost impossible to complete most series, runs, sets or collections--enter the internet! Now a collector has a chance to fill those holes and not depend on one or more local sources or conventions and what they had to offer that particular day (often with attitude). Then you created the fantastic Lone Star Comics business and web site, an honest professional site with a great "want list" feature that improves any collector's chance to fill holes. I have used it repeatedly and with great satisfaction. Your latest buying list and system is a further stroke of genius--the greatest drop-ship option for collectors anywhere! I was talking to my wife about it the other day and feeling great about moving some of my collection your way when it dawned on me that I was not only helping myself, but your business as well, and the end-user collector who I don't even know but who wants these books from you for his/her collection Win-win-win. I'm happy, you are happy, and your customers are happy. Man, this is collecting heaven and a lot of folks, including me, are most appreciative. I know this sounds silly, but there is something wonderfully rewarding and very satisfying about sending you books that someone else needs/wants. Keep up the good work and have a great summer!

Buddy, I just read your weekly newsletter and saw that you mentioned you were listed on D&B. As you know, I am constantly checking the credit worthiness of current and prospective clients for my own business. As a result, I am a subscriber to the main D&B database, so I figured I'd check out Lone Star Comics for the fun of it. All I can say is you can buy anything from me on credit any time you want. Lone Star Comics has one of the highest credit ratings I have ever encountered on Dunn and Bradstreet. I'll refrain from listing the specifics, as I'm sure you already know them, but if there is anyone out there who has not sold to Lone Star for fear of receiving timely payment, they should know that your credit record is immaculate.
