Sell with NewKadia
  We grade books accurately because we split its sale price with you.
  The more you make, the more we make!
Sell to a dealer
  Many dealers will tell you your books are in worse condition than they really are. They hope to buy them from you cheaply. If they fool you, they then re-grade them and sell them for a big profit. You get about 10% of their real value.
      NewKadia example: The Overstreet Guide values one of your books at $150.   We list it for sale for $150. For each 3 weeks it remains unsold, its price drops 1%. In 3 weeks its price is $148.50. And, in this example, a buyer bought it then, using a 10% off discount coupon, saving $14.80 and paying $133.65. We pay you 60% of $133.65 ($80.19) minus $4.99 = $75.19. The $4.99 is the per book fee which includes several things, including our fees for a comic bag and comic board, a grading chart, storage, insurance, and labor - unpacking, professional grading, bagging and boarding it. (If a book sells more than 3 months after it was first listed for sale, the $4.99 per book fee increases as described in Section 6(iii) below).

2. Work less
      We do everything. We professionally grade each book, place each in a comic bag and on a comic board, pack them securely in a custom-made box, create shipping labels, pay for shipping and shipping insurance and ship them.
3. Get paid
      Each month, we pay you your share. After 18 months, you have 2 choices for unsold books. Tell us to:
        a. Keep selling them, or
        b. Return them to you (at our expense).

        If all, or most all of your books have an Overstreet Price Guide Value of under $11.25, you should find another way to sell your books, since after deducting the per book fee, your share from each book from such a collection will only be the mininum.   Only a few comics from the past 20 years are worth more than $11.25. Many books older than 20 years have a value of more than $11.25; many do not. Of course, the better the condition of any book, the higher the value.
