Why It's Hard to Buy Comics Online
eBay is the world's biggest marketplace. It is easy to get over-excited when you buy comics online"How much should I pay for this comic book? Is it 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.

Testimonials for Our eBay Appraisal Service
"I have used Ashley's eBay Appraisal Service a number of times and always with great success.
"He has prevented me from buying some really overpriced comics with defects that I couldn't see online and let me know about the ones that are truly fairly priced. He also lets me know what to bid for the ones that are in an auction so I don't overbid.
"As long as I continue to buy comics online on eBay, I intend to keep on using the service."
Gary Ryan, USA

"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 SellMyComicBooks.com 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."
Adam J. Horry, USA
