PREMIUM CONSIGNMENT & RARE BOOKS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Everything you need to know about buying rare comics from Million Comics.

What is the consignment process?

+
Million Comics sources rare, professionally graded comics from trusted dealers and collectors across North America. We don't hold physical inventory — instead, we work on a consignment model:
  • We identify high-value books from verified sellers
  • We list them in our catalog at a competitive price
  • When you purchase, we secure the book from our consignor
  • We ship the book directly to you, fully insured
This model allows us to offer a wider selection of rare books without the overhead of traditional retail.

How does payment work?

+
All payments are processed via Email Money Transfer (EMT) — also known as Interac e-Transfer in Canada. No credit cards are accepted.

The process:
  • Submit a purchase inquiry or make an offer on a book
  • Our team verifies the book's availability with the consignor
  • We email you the EMT payment details
  • You send the EMT to the provided email address
  • Once received, we secure and ship the book
EMT payments eliminate credit card processing fees, allowing us to keep prices competitive for collectors.

⚠️ What if a book gets sold before I complete payment?

+
⚠️ Important: Since our books are sourced from active marketplaces, there is a small chance a book could be sold on the original listing site between when you submit your inquiry and when your payment is received.
If this happens, here is what we do:
  • We will notify you immediately via email
  • If you already sent payment, your EMT will be fully refunded within 24 hours
  • We will search our network for a comparable book at a similar price and condition
  • If a substitute is found, we offer it to you first before listing it publicly
How to minimize this risk:
  • Send your EMT payment as quickly as possible after receiving our payment details
  • Books are held for up to 24 hours after we send payment instructions
  • High-value books ($5,000+) can be reserved with a non-refundable $100 deposit — contact us for details
This scenario is rare (less than 2% of transactions), but we believe in full transparency with our customers.

Are the books authentic?

+
Yes. All graded books come in their original CGC, CBCS, or PSA cases with certification numbers that can be independently verified on the grading company's website.

We only source from verified, reputable dealers who have established track records in the comic book collecting community. Every book's provenance is vetted before listing.

What is the "Make an Offer" feature?

+
Every book in our catalog has a "Make an Offer" button. You can submit an offer below the listed price.
  • If your offer meets our minimum margin, it is automatically accepted and you'll receive payment instructions
  • If the offer is too low, it is automatically declined with a message
This system gives you the opportunity to negotiate while keeping the process fast and transparent. There's no back-and-forth — you'll know instantly if your offer is accepted.

How is shipping handled?

+
All books are shipped fully insured with tracking. We use appropriate packaging to ensure your investment arrives safely.
  • Graded slabs are shipped in slab-safe mailers with foam inserts
  • Tracking information is emailed to you once the book ships
  • Shipping costs are included in the listed price for Canadian orders
  • International shipping is available — contact us for a quote

What is your returns policy?

+
Due to the consignment nature of our business, all sales are final. Once a book is secured from the consignor on your behalf, we cannot accept returns.

However, if a book arrives damaged during shipping:
  • Contact us within 48 hours of delivery with photos
  • We will file an insurance claim and work to resolve the issue
  • Options include a full refund or replacement if available

How long does delivery take?

+
After your EMT payment is confirmed:
  • Securing the book: 1–3 business days to complete the purchase from our consignor
  • Shipping: 2–5 business days for domestic delivery
  • Total: Expect 3–8 business days from payment to delivery
We'll keep you updated at every step via email.
