Consign to Our Auctions
Every lot starts at $1 with no reserve, the buyer pays the premium, and your commission is set by each lot's own hammer price.
We take vintage and key comics of every era, graded or raw, single books or whole collections. Tell us what you have, we look it over within two business days, and if it suits an auction we send the agreement for your signature. You ship the books to us insured; we identify, grade, photograph and catalog them, and each one sells to the high bidder from a $1 start with no reserve.
The terms, in plain words
Commission is set by each lot's own hammer price, not by your total and not in steps within a lot:
| Hammer price per lot | Certified | Raw |
|---|---|---|
| Under $25.00 | 50% | 50% |
| $25.00 to $49.99 | 30% | 40% |
| $50.00 to $99.99 | 20% | 35% |
| $100.00 to $499.99 | 15% | 25% |
| $500.00 to $2,499.99 | 10% | 20% |
| $2,500.00 and above | 9% | 18% |
- Certified means every book in the lot is graded by CGC, CBCS, PGX or another accepted grader when the auction opens. Any other lot is raw.
- Commission comes from the hammer price only. The 3% buyer's premium, and any credit or points a buyer uses, never change it. Our commission is at least $1.50 a lot, and you receive at least $0.15 on every lot that sells.
- Every lot starts at $1 with no reserve and sells to the high bidder. The buyer's premium is paid by the buyer, not you.
- Each lot gets one auction. A lot that closes with no bids passes: it becomes ours, and $0.15 is charged to your balance for that lot. A lot whose buyer does not pay, or returns it, goes into a later auction.
- You ship to us, insured, at your own cost. The address and packing instructions arrive once the agreement is signed.
- We do the work: identification, photography and the catalog. We may recommend pressing or certification for a book; nothing is pressed or submitted until you approve that book, and the cost comes out of its proceeds first.
- How you are paid: a sale is payable once the buyer has paid and the return window has passed. We pay by ACH each month, within 15 business days of month-end, once your balance is $500 or more, and pay any balance in full when your consignment is settled.
- New consignors: 0% commission on fixed-price sales made before September 5, 2027.
