Back Issues Q&A

• Q: Do you sell back issues?
• A: Yes, but in a somewhat limited fashion. I don't personally keep backstock (with rare exceptions), but I do have access to distributors and sources from which I can acquire specific books at a cost that allows me to pass them on to the customer at or near cover price.
• A: I really need to stress that many Dark Horse, DC, Image, and Marvel titles are far more difficult to locate than most of the other independent comics. I'm afraid that my record where finding even books less than a year old is hit-and-miss. I recommend checking out Mile High Comics or other resources that specialize in back isues. This isn't to say that I won't be more than happy to contact my own sources to try to find what you're looking for.

• Q: How do I order back issues or other non-current items from you?
• A: Just e-mail me and do the following: make a list of the items you're looking for, including a reasonable maximum limit on what you're willing to pay for each item. This simplifies the procedure if you want, say, a Thor back issue for no more than $5, but the best I could arrange was $10. When I receive your order, I'll contact you to verify receipt and ask for clarification, if necessary. Then, I'll contact all my sources, determine what's available, and find the best price for each item. Once I've exhausted my resources, I'll contact you with the information to confirm your final order and arrange payment -- I insist upon full payment, up front. Once payment is received, I'll acquire the merchandise, bundle them together, and ship them to you!

• Q: Do you jack up the prices of your back issues and older merchandise?
• A: If at all possible, I try to sell my merchandise at cover/suggested retail price. There will be some circumstances in which this won't be possible, but even then, I make an effort to not inflate the price beyond reason.

• Q: Are there any additional charges for this service?
• A: For Browsers, I require an additional $2.50 fee, per order, for back issue orders, for any order totalling less than $25. This fee is in addition to shipping. If you are a Subscriber, I waive this fee.
