Why It's Hard to Buy Comics on eBay
"Is this a 9.8, 9.4, 8.0, 4.0...?"
Way too many eBay sellers claim to "Grade Strict" or have "Years of Experience". We see auction after auction that claims to be NM, when it the book is only a fine.

Why take chances? We'll give you a FREE opinion of an eBay item you're thinking of buying.

Testimonials for Our eBay Appraisal Service
"I've tried out you're free appraisal service on the website and I am more than happy with the service. Great response time. I'll be sure to use it again in future."
C. P., United Kingdom
Just like the articles at sellmycomicbooks.com, I got more than I expected with the eBay Comic Book Appraisal. Using the articles as inspiration, I found a comic issue that I thought would definitely go up after the upcoming Ant-Man Movie.
I searched eBay and found three that might be high enough grade to be considered investment worthy. I asked about them and got a prompt, insightful response that helped me hone on the best choice. In addition, they reminded me the top price to pay for it to reduce risk.
I won the auction and when the comic arrived, was overjoyed that I had chosen correctly. Having access to such advice really helps when trying decide where to invest. I certainly will continue utilize them whenever I invest in a comic.
