Consign Your Books With Us
Selling with Prime City Comics is easy. It's free to list on our site, there are no fees until your book sells, and your books are offered to the collectors who shop primecitycomics.com every day.
What Is Consignment?
Consignment is how you get closest to full market value for a good book. When any store buys a book outright, the offer has to leave room for the store to make money — that's the business. When you consign instead, your book lists at its market price, it sells for that price, and all you pay is a small commission on the sale. More of the book's real value ends up in your pocket.
Fast cash
We make you an offer, you ship your books, and cash is wired to you once they arrive and check out. It's the fastest route — but a buy price is always below market value. See our Sell to Us page.
Full market value
Your book lists at its market price on our store. When it sells, you keep the sale price minus a 10% to 15% commission — and we absorb the credit card and PayPal fees. It takes longer, and it pays more.
Example: Your book sells for $1,000. At a 10% commission you receive $900; at 15%, you receive $850. Because we absorb the credit card and PayPal fees, nothing else comes off the top. If it doesn't sell, you pay nothing at all.
How It Works
Four steps, and we handle the selling.
Tell us what you have
Fill out the consignment form below with the books you want to list, along with high resolution front and back cover scans (minimum 200 dpi).
We list your books
Your items are added to our online store at primecitycomics.com, in front of our collector customer base. We can also add your consigned books to our eBay store — just ask.
Your book sells
Listing is free, and there are no fees until a book sells. When it does, our commission is 10% to 15% of the sale price, and we absorb all credit card and PayPal fees.
You get paid
Payments are sent out on the 10th of the month for the previous sales month. Sell in March, get paid April 10th — every sale, every month, on the same schedule.
What Can Be Consigned?
Consignment is built for higher value books — anything with a market value of at least $100 is welcome.
Graded books
CGC and PSA slabs are the core of our store — key issues, first appearances, and high grade copies of the books collectors chase. If it's slabbed and worth $100 or more, it belongs here.
Raw key issues
Unslabbed books consign too, as long as the market value is there — major and minor keys, Golden, Silver and Bronze Age issues.
Runs & collections
Consigning a run or a whole collection? List what you have in the form and we'll work through it with you. Staying responsive to emails, calls, or texts keeps your listings moving.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to consign?
Nothing up front. Listing your books on our site is free, and there are no fees until a book sells. When it sells, our commission is 10% to 15% of the sale price — and we absorb all credit card and PayPal fees, so the commission is the only deduction.
When do I get paid?
Payments are sent out on the 10th of the month for the previous sales month. A book that sells in March is paid out on April 10th.
What can I consign?
Books with a market value of at least $100 — graded CGC and PSA books, raw key issues, runs, and collections.
Do I need scans of my books?
Yes. Please have high resolution (minimum 200 dpi) front and back cover scans of each book ready when you submit the form.
Can my books be listed on eBay as well?
Yes. Your items are added to our online store at primecitycomics.com, and we can also add your consigned books to our eBay store.
What does the commission depend on?
Our commission rate is 10% to 15%. We'll confirm the rate for your books when we set up your listings — before anything goes live.
Should I consign or sell outright?
Consign if you want the most money and can wait for the right buyer: your book sells at market price and you keep the price minus commission. Sell outright if you want it done now: we make an offer, you ship, and cash is wired when your books arrive. See our Sell to Us page.
