We'll help you get the maximum value for your comics. Our specialists will orchestrate every detail -- grading, appraising and listing each book for sale and marketing it to prospective buyers worldwide. NewKadia has a proven track record in maximizing your profit.
We individually grade and list every book at its current market price. Your payments are based on the true value of each comic book. Click for a sample of the reports you'll be able to view online.
Selling in bulk to someone else
When collections are sold in bulk a great deal of profit is often left on the table. Have you graded and appraised each of your books at today's market prices? Let NewKadia's 20 years of experience go to work for you.
You'll earn more working with us than selling all the comics in bulk. For example, one comic published in 2003 sold in 2012 for $10,000. If you sell in bulk would you recognize that book was in your collection?

** The per book fee is:
$4.99, or
$4.79 if you arrange and pay to ship the books to us, or
For books with a cover price 35¢ or less
$3.19 if you send 250 or more with a cover price 35¢ or less.
$2.99 if you also arrange and pay to ship the books to us.
The fee is our charge for a comic bag and board, grading chart, storage, insurance, and labor - unpacking, professional grading, bagging and boarding it.
Another example: You sent us more than 250 books with a cover price of 35¢ or less. One of them has an Overstreet Guide value of $190. We list it for $190. Every 6 weeks it remains unsold, its price drops approximately 1%. In 6 weeks its price is $188.10. And, in this example, it's bought with a 10% coupon (saving $18.81). Total paid is $169.92. We pay you 65% ($110.05) minus $2.69 = $107.76.
* If the per book fee is more than the Sub-total, your share for that book is 10¢ If your book fee is $2.99, you receive more than 10¢ only when a book sells for $6.17 or more. If your book fee is $4.79, you receive more than 10¢ only when a book sells for $9.68 or more.
