High-value comics

Sell it. Consign it. Trade it. Or tell me the book you can't find.

I am MJ. I move high-value comics for collectors who do not want to hand a five-figure book to a stranger and hope. One person in the middle, from the first message to the last shipping label.

What I do

Whatever you have,
there is a door for it.

Six ways to make a deal. Not sure which one pays you best? Tell me what you have and I will tell you honestly.

Transparent fees

Nothing up front
to sell or consign.

Nothing until it sells, and nothing at all if it does not. Selling outright costs you nothing either, because I am the one buying it. Everything below comes out of the sale. MJ Secure is the one thing priced on its own, and every line of it is on the pricing page.

3.5%
Consignment

You send me the book and I go and sell it.

I handle the listing, the photos, the buyers and the haggling. A ceiling, not a starting point, and on larger books it comes down.

2.5%
Private Match

You keep the book. I watch for a buyer.

Never listed. It stays with you until you agree to a deal. Flat rate, and only if I actually find somebody.

3%
Referral rate

Refer a consignor and your next consignment drops to 3%.

One referral, one book. It comes off the next one you send me, not the one already with me.

Don't take my word

Judge me by
my track record.

Reviews, not testimonials. I have never had a book fail to arrive or a completed deal go sideways.

But you should not have to take that from me. Unsolicited reviews from people I have actually traded with, some of them for the best part of a decade. Real accounts, real names, nothing written by me. Enough of them that they fill two highlights.

Open the comments on each one to read what people said.

Collectors are
hunting right now.

A standing want list. Each one has told me the exact book and the exact grade they need. They are not browsing. They have been looking for years.

If you own one of them, I already have a potential buyer. Tell me and I will work the deal.

Live from my desk. If your book is on it, somebody is already waiting.

Private Match

Sell it without
listing it.

Private consignment, never listed. You keep the book. It never goes on the market, nobody knows it is available, and it stays in your house until you agree to a deal.

Tell me the price where you would actually let it go, and I quietly match it against the collectors already hunting that exact book. Any graded book worth $1,000 or more. Your book is not for sale. Unless the number is right.

If there is no buyer, nothing happens and you owe nothing.
If I complete a match the fee is 2.5%, which is $25 per $1,000. That is the whole arrangement.
How to enter
  1. Choose "I Have a Book to Sell or Consign". That is the right door, even though you are not selling yet.
  2. Fill in the book, the grade, and the number you would sell at.
  3. When it asks What Type of Deal, choose Private Match.

MJ Secure

"You ship first."
"No, you ship first."

A neutral middleman. Two strangers, one big deal, and nobody moves. That deadlock kills more trades in this hobby than money ever does.

MJ Secure removes the deadlock. The book comes to me, or both books if it is a trade. I check what arrives against what was agreed, document it, and only then does it go on.

I hold the comic. Not your money.
Payment goes straight from buyer to seller. I never receive or hold a dollar of it.

There is no form for this one. Both sides have to agree terms before anything moves, so it starts with a message rather than a submission.

  1. You both agree the termsIn writing, in a shared thread, before anything ships.
  2. The book comes to meOr both books, if it is a trade. Insured for its value, signature required on delivery.
  3. I check what arrivedSlab, label, certification number and grade against what was agreed. Photographed on arrival.
  4. It goes outRepackaged for archival transit, insured to you, signature required.
  5. Nobody went firstBecause neither of you had to.

Insure it for its value when you send it. It is covered on the way to me, while it is with me, and on the way to the buyer, to $25,000 per package. Every leg, both directions.

I verify that a slab and its certification match the deal. I do not authenticate books, which is the grading company's job.

$75 is the minimum fee on any book. Above $25,000 a deal is worked out privately.

More than one book
The whole
collection.

I buy collections outright. Inherited a run you know nothing about. Downsizing after thirty years. Boxes in a parent's attic that nobody has opened since the nineties.

Send me some photos and tell me roughly what is there. Rough is fine. "Four boxes, mostly seventies Marvel" is a real answer.

Then we talk and I make you one offer on the lot. Single books I will consign for you. A whole collection I buy, so you get one number and one payment instead of waiting on dozens of separate sales. Nothing goes anywhere until we have both agreed it should.

How to enter
  1. Choose "I Have a Book to Sell or Consign".
  2. When it asks How many?, choose "I have an entire collection to sell".
  3. Add a few photos of the boxes or the shelf. You do not have to list the books.
The Batcomputer

Every cave
needs an Alfred.

A private system. I built my own Batcomputer to run this business locally instead of renting an off-the-shelf CRM. Alfred is the butler who runs it, and yes, he is software.

What matters is what he cannot do. Who you are is kept apart from the books, offers and matches he processes. This website refuses to publish at all if anything identifying turns up in the build. And the backups are sealed with a passphrase he does not have, so he runs the whole operation and still cannot unlock the archives.

Tell me what you have.
Or what you can't find.

Two minutes, no account, and no obligation. If I am not the right person for your book I will tell you that instead of wasting your time.

Not sure which one you need? Just message me and I will point you at the right one.
