Where to buy comics

Given most of the members here probably like comics I thought I would start a thread with recommendations on where to buy comics over the Internet (sometimes your local store is sold out, or just charging too much).


(Surprisingly) My biggest recommendation goes to eBay. Some of the sellers try really hard to get the positive feedback.

?wizarduniverse? ? I think these guys spent threes times more on postage and packing than what they charged me.

?superheroesunlimited? ? decent prices for rare comics.

?rgourd1954? ? some of the comics weren?t in great condition (others were NM), but the fastest postage I have ever seen and cheap!

?actionfigureexpress? ? again affordable and quick delivery.

Also a positive mention for cornerstorecomics.com
They sell action figures, statues etc. Good range, reliable and good discounts.


A lukewarm recommendation for milehighcomics.com

The range is big and website is good, though searching can be difficult and not all comics have images. The prices are really high so you need to sign up and wait for a good special to get reasonable prices.

The main problem with these guys is that their postage seems to take at least three times longer than anyone else using the same method.


A big thumbs down for:

The Top Cow online comics store.
Scottscomics

Basically both these places are good at taking your money and nothing else. With both these places they charged my credit card straight away but didn't process the order until a month later. In that time some of the comics I ordered had sold out, but neither company tried contacting me to advise of the change. Shipping isn't cheap with these places either.


Oh, and I recommend me! I'm selling my old X-Men comics and some others to make room, if anyone is looking. Only satisfied customers so far!

And big thanks to Daruma who helped me out last month by taking the time and effort to post some comics that a seller wouldn't post internationally. Thanks Dar!
