Sell To Big B Comics

Big B Comics isn’t just a place to find your favorite comics, toys, and collectibles— it’s also a trusted place to SELL them! For over 30 years, we’ve been actively buying collections with an honest, transparent approach built around real-world demand and long-term sustainability.

Why Sell To Big B?

Parting with collectibles can be difficult. Maybe you spent years building up a collection, or maybe it holds sort of sentimental value. We understand that! We’ve all been bitten by the collecting bug too.

Big B Comics has built a 30-year reputation on fairness and honesty. As one of the leading dealers of collectible comics in Southwestern Ontario, we know the market inside and out — not just online asking prices, but what items actually sell for in a retail environment.

In most cases, we buy with the intent to resell. That means our offers are based on condition, demand, space, and what allows us to continue operating responsibly as a brick-and-mortar store (with staff, overhead, and a whole lot of bins).

What We’re Actively Buying

🟢 Comics

  • CGC graded comics
  • Key issues & minor keys (generally ~$10 value and up)
We are extremely picky about bulk modern comics and low-value filler. If most of your collection would fall into dollar-bin or $2.99 territory, we may not be able to take it.

🟢 Toys & Collectibles

  • DC & Marvel action figures (loose or boxed — these sell all day every day)
  • Transformers (robots in disguise, always in demand)
  • Vintage figures, vehicles, and playsets

🟢 Graphic Novels

  • 10% cash
  • 15% store credit
  • Based on US cover price
  • Softcovers or Hardcovers (we also take manga)
We offer an online graphic novel trade-in calculator so you know exactly what to expect before coming in. Scroll down to use it.

What We’re Limited On Or Not Buying

❌ Video games & systems

We do not buy video games or gaming systems. This category was discontinued prior to COVID and is no longer part of our buying program.

❌ Cards (Sports / Pokémon / Magic / etc.)

At this time, we are not actively buying cards. We’re interested in expanding into this category in the future, but until we have dedicated in-house expertise, we prefer not to buy something we can’t properly evaluate.

How Pricing Works

Big B Comics buys as a reseller — in-store and online. We purchase items with the intent to resell them, which means our offers must leave room for grading fees, processing, overhead, and the risk involved in holding inventory.

We don’t buy at full market value. We sell at market value — so our purchase offers need to leave room for fees, labor, and the reality that not every item sells quickly.
  • CGC comics & toys: ~40% of expected retail value
  • Graphic novels: fixed percentages
  • Cash offers will be lower than store credit
