A FEW TIPS
THE FOLLOWING SUGGESTIONS WILL HELP YOU GET THE BEST OFFER FOR YOUR UNWANTED COLLECTIBLES!
CLEAN IT – ORGANIZE IT – UNDERSTAND IT – LEAVE IT
1 – Clean It!
Your collectibles should be clean and appealing! If you don’t care about it why should we?
2 – Organize It!
More work for us means less money for you. That means comics in alpha-numeric order! Cards sorted by RARITY & Set (color sorting matters). Toys bagged up with their proper accessories! If you’re not sure how to best organize your collectibles, drop us an email at jetpackcomics@gmail.com and we’ll let you know!
3 – Understand It!
Know what you are looking to get for your stuff. It’s YOURS!
If your request is too high we will not be able to review your items.
If your expectation is out of line we won’t even be able to review what you have.
WE DO NOT ACCEPT MERCHANDISE WITH AN OFFER RANGE (ie $500 – $1000) OF ANY AMOUNT.
How do you figure it out?
COMIC BOOKS / TOYS / VIDEO GAMES / OTHER MERCHANDISE (see below for card games)
Look at SOLD ITEMS on eBay! Be sure you understand the terms you are seeing when you research an item, and remember that if we buy it, we have to make a profit. So if it sold on eBay for $50, we’re not going to pay you $50 for it. If you do not know what CGC is then your comic is not CGC certified and not getting that premium price. Near Mint is the same as like new is the same as the brand new comics you see on our shelf.
Completed Sales on eBay can be found by clicking the SOLD radio button on the bottom left of an eBay search screen. Still not sure? Email us. This is the most important part of your research. We review ebay SOLD listings (not what people are asking for but items that actually sold) to determine fair market value for items.
Our offer is based on a % of that number
Low $ sold items get a smaller % (25 – 40).
Higher $ sold items get a higher % (50 – 75).
TRADING CARD GAMES
Our offer is based on a percentage of the BUY LIST price on Star City Games for Magic and the BUY LIST price on TCG player for most other card games.
4 – Leave It!
You have to drop off your items and we do not return the container you brought them in. Our offers include the box, tote, bag or refrigerator that you haul your stuff to us in, so pack up your stuff in a container you don’t want back! If you want the tote back we will deduct $5 to $10 dollars from the offer, because we need something to store it in!
WHAT CAN I BRING IN?
TOYS – TOYS – TOYS – Bring us your items of fun from days gone by! We want em! Bring us 1 or a 100. New or used (Note that NEW and UNOPENED gets you the most $$ but we’ll even take cool used toys as well). Remember, you’ll get more the cleaner the packages are!
DVDs, CDs, Video Games – DVD’s and CDs must have cases and be playable. Too many scratches and we won’t want them. Clean up the packaging and you’ll get more. Alphabetize them and we might kiss you! Video Game Consoles / Parts / Pieces must be in working order.
MAGIC, POKEMON, YU GI OH cards – Magic will net you the most. Again, organize them by rarity and set to get the most for them! Pokemon and Yu Gi Oh get you a little bit. Try to organize them by rarity as well. Got some other types of CCGs? We probably won’t want them. Magic card offers are based on a % of the Star City Games BUY LIST. (not what they are selling them for but what they are purchasing them for). Yu Gi Oh and Pokemon are based on the prices we sell them for which is much less than their actual value.
BULK TCG / CCG Cards – What is BULK. Bulk is generally commons, uncommons and other rarities of cards that have little value. We also treat unsorted (rarity & color) cards as bulk. Bulk cards still need to be organized for maximum value. Sort them by game, color and rarity to get our best offer. IF YOU BRING A BOX / BAG / TOTE full of unsorted cards you will not get as much as having them sorted as mentioned above, in card boxes. Our offer on bulk cards may fluctuate daily, based on need, amount of work we will have to do to them and the current market. In other words, if there is a new Magic release coming up we’ll probably offer less as EVERYONE is dumping cards before a new release. Organizing them in actual cardboard card boxes will get you more. Please ask questions and avoid disappointment.
GRAPHIC NOVELS and TRADE PAPERBACKS – The better the condition the more you get, but we want em all. Please keep in mind that many graphic novels go on clearance and we know which ones those are. All offers are based on their most recent, lowest, retail price!
Role-Playing & Board Games – Just like everything else, the better the condition, the more you’re gonna get! Please make sure to bring all the pieces.
COMIC BOOKS– Of course comic books. Comic Books should be in alpha-numeric order, by title. Before you get out of control we’re going to bust a few myths here:1990 and newer is not considered OLD in comic book terms. Yup, it may be 20 years but for our purposes it represents the decade of garbage! 1970 and earlier is OLD. Just because a comic book is a #1 it does not make it worth money. Just because it is autographed it does not mean it is worth money. A shiny foil cover does not make it worth more nor does tyvek, plastic, newspaper or anything else! It was a sales gimmick. There is no such thing as a comic book being still in a sleeve, wrapper, holder, plastic. Someone put the comic book in that and that does not make them worth more money. In fact, if the COMIC BAG (that is the proper name) is dirty & yellowed it decreases the value. When it says “collector’s item” or has some other hyped up selling point to suck in buyers, it’s usually a lie! The 1990’s are considered to be one of the worst times for comic books. Billions of comics were printed and very few are worth any real money!The state of the comic book industry is nowhere near what it was a couple of decades ago. Where there were once tens of thousands of comic book and collectible shops worldwide, there are now just a few more than 1700. What does that mean to you? It means that what was once worth money isn’t anymore. There are more copies of Spawn #1 available than the world will ever need, and Jim Lee’s X-Men #1 is NOT a hot & sought after book. We’ve been doing this for well over 30 years. We can look through 300 comics and ten minutes and tell you which ones have any value. Typical over stock comic book junk is about $10 a long box (that’s a 300 count standard comic book box). The better the books, the more you get! The older the books the better you are going to do. We currently have well over 1000 long boxes of typical comic book junk in our basement. We’ll always add more to it but not at a premium price!
