Who are some honest dealers on ebay and elsewhere for raw Silver Age & Bronze Age books? 4 4

[FSF]

Can you folks please make some suggestions for dealers who sell non over-graded, unrestored, raw comic books? 

 

 

[shadroch]

If you are looking for non-HG books, you can't go wrong with Gary Dolgorf.  Just don't expect premium grade books. If he calls it a VG -, most would call it a Fine.

What sort of books are you looking for?

High grade, mid grade, low grade?

My top 3 eBay sellers this year. I've made multiple purchases from all of them:

comics4less
renokid77
sellmycomicbooks

I would say Comics 4 Less, Pete is a great guy.  Also, Leroy Harper and Reece's Rare Comics.  These are just a few I've dealt with over the past few years.

The actual user name is comics4less and he is very popular - hard to win an auction from him unless you pay top dollar, but I manage to snag one now and then.

I've been getting some great stuff from dacardworld  lately, but I think the nice raw DC collection they had is about gone.

You definitely need to look at the scans of almost everyone referenced in this thread before making a bid though.

I've had a lot of success with the comics4less auctions. They list a ton of stuff each week, so you can usually find good deals if you look hard enough. Their grading is solid, they pack well, they ship quickly, and they combine shipping. Also, I think you get a couple % back if you subscribe to their email newsletter thingy.

By comparison, it's much tougher to find deals in the MCS and ComicConnect auctions. (And it takes way longer for your books to arrive!)

Don't worry, I always leave the Jerry Lewis books for you.

You're better buying from the dealers directly then off eBay. Cuts out their commission.

For not well known eBay sellers, I would judge on the pictures and ask a lot of questions. If you have a good feel for the seller and the pictures are respectable, you can take a chance.

This is often true.  The books I typically get from Dave & Adam's I usually buy on eBay with the $15 off a purchase of $75 eBay Flash Sale coupon.  The books would be cheaper to buy off their website even with added shipping, if not for the eBay coupon.

I've already seen several listed that I would check scans out very carefully before making a purchase.

he may not be trying to buy anything.   He might be trying to Sell stuff to them.  He might be trying to eliminate competition.  Or rob them.  There's nothing worth than going through the trouble and risk of stealing some high grade keys then finding out they're over graded with undisclosed resto.
