Raw or graded
Raw books, CGC slabs, mixed raw + graded collections all fine.
How It Works
Sell In Three Steps
Contact us about comics you are considering selling. Photos, rough quantity and postcode are enough to start. We assess collections to make buying offers, not to provide valuations.
Send Photos
Snap clear photos of your comics, boxes or slabs. Show front covers, the spine of a few boxes, and any keys or standouts you know about.
Add the Basics
Include an approximate comic count and your UK postcode. An asking price or full inventory is optional. We review the information to decide whether the collection is suitable for us to buy.
Receive Your Buying Offer
For suitable collections, we make a fixed purchase offer based on our assessment of the books. There is no obligation to accept. If you accept, we agree the handover and payment arrangements.

Why Sell To Redsters
A Real UK Buyer With A Real Audience
We are a trusted UK comic retailer with an active audience of collectors. That means we understand the market, move stock quickly, and can have direct buying conversations, not appraisals. You deal with the same person from first photo to final payment.
Our buying focus is Marvel, DC and graded keys, from single issues to full collections. If your books fit what our collectors are actively chasing, we can usually pay more than a general house clearance or pawnbroker, and faster than a consignment listing.
Buying Offers, Not Valuations
We assess collections for purchase and make a fixed offer based on what we are prepared to pay. We do not provide standalone valuations or appraisal reports.
Fair on both sides
If you have a figure in mind, include it. If not, send clear photos and an approximate quantity so we can decide whether the collection is a fit.
What You Get
24-hour reply
Most enquiries get a response within one working day, including a clear yes, no or offer.
Bank transfer or PayPal
Fast, traceable payment once your books are verified. No cheques in the post, no store credit obligations.
Collection or courier
We discuss collection, delivery or drop-off depending on the size of the collection and your location in the UK.
No pressure, no hard sell
If our offer is not right for you, walk away with no obligation. Your photos and list stay private.
Important To Know
A purchase price, not a valuation
Our offer is the price Redsters is prepared to pay for your collection, not an estimate of its retail or insurance value. You do not need a full inventory or an asking price to get started.
REAL GOOGLE REVIEWS
TRUSTED BY UK COLLECTORS
I've purchased from Redsters a few times and never had anything but a positive experience. Great items at great prices - often little bonuses and extras thrown in too. The service is excellent - very responsive and helpful with queues. Everything is parcelled up extremely well - either it costs £1 or £100 ... that's the mark of a business that truly understands collecting.

FAQ
Selling Questions, Answered
Answers to common questions about selling your comics to Redsters.
Do you buy individual key issues or only full collections?
Both. A single key issue is very much worth emailing about. We buy from one graded slab right up to full long-box collections and inherited libraries. If it is Marvel, DC, a recognised key or a clean Silver or Bronze Age run, send it over.
Can you tell me what my comic collection is worth?
We do not offer a standalone valuation service. When we consider a collection for purchase, we make an offer based on our assessment of the books. This is the amount Redsters is willing to pay, not a valuation for selling elsewhere or for insurance. You do not need an asking price or a full inventory to request a buying offer.
Do you buy CGC graded books?
Yes. We actively buy CGC graded keys and slab collections. Please include clear photos of the label, grade and book. An asking price is optional.
Do you buy nationwide across the UK?
Yes. We buy comic collections throughout the UK and can discuss collection, delivery or drop-off depending on the size of the collection and your location. Tell us where you are in the email and we will suggest the simplest option.
How and when do I get paid?
By UK bank transfer or PayPal, once your books are with us and verified against the photos. For most agreed deals that means payment within a few working days of pick-up or delivery, not weeks.
What if I inherited the collection and do not know what is in it?
Send photos of the boxes, a few sample covers and anything that looks like a key or graded slab. Add an approximate quantity and postcode. You do not need to know the value or prepare a full inventory.
