WE BUY!

We do buy comics and collectibles that we're sold out of and believe we can resell. Here's how it works:

We review the collection: If we're interested, we'll make a cash or store credit offer. If you accept, you’ll be paid immediately!

Large Collections: For large collections, please send or bring us a list to review. For comics, email backissues@emeraldcitycomics.com; for toys and collectibles, email toys@emeraldcitycomics.com.
Small Collections: For small boxes of comics or collectibles, call ahead at 727-398-2665 to ensure a buyer is available.

Toys & Collectibles: Provide a general description of your items, especially if you have something we don’t buy (like sports collectibles), to avoid unnecessary trips.
Estimates: We can’t provide estimates over the phone or email; we need to see the items in person for evaluation.
Appraisals: We only evaluate items for purchase. For insurance or legal appraisals, contact neil@emeraldcitycomics.com for a quote.

Frequently Asked Question: "Why was I offered less than I expected?"

Condition Matters: Odors (such as smoke) and overall condition significantly impact value.
Retail Pricing: As a retail store, we can only offer a percentage of the retail, guide, or eBay value, since we need to cover operational costs and may hold onto items for extended periods.
Supply and Demand: If we have high supply or low demand for certain items, we might not be able to make an offer. In such cases, you may have better luck selling through eBay, Craigslist, or at a local convention; or consider donating to friends, family, or a charity.
