To all my fellow collectors out there, I’m not too familiar with Comic Link.

Is that a trusting site for auctions? I’d love to hear any feedback from people that have experience with them.

Thanks

Yes, they are a trusting company. I've sold books in the past and never had an issue getting paid.

They take 10 percent from every sale

Other than things selling for more than I want to pay, I haven't had any real issues with them. It takes a while for them to ship, but I pay with a check to avoid the 3% processing fee.

No shill bidding issues?

You can't avoid those with any auction.

It gets old smelling it everytime I go outside my door. Nearmint67 private msg quote post Address this user
@Haljordanfan

I have sold on their site in buy now and auction. They are legit...
Everything is slow through their system as @DrWatson mentioned.
If you are buying, you will get what you are bidding on.

When I sold with them, I kept the books. When an item sold, I ship it to comiclink. Then they do a quality check to ensure you are getting what was listed. Then after they have processed your payment, they ship the book to you. Takes about a week or two tops.

I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie. flanders private msg quote post Address this user
I've gotten some good deals there but also a few overgraded duds. I'm not sure about shill bidding, but it's like Ebay, where you can snipe and bidding isn't extended on last second bids.

Also, their site is poorly done. They don't have back cover scans and refuse to update their site so that you can watch items. Also there's no way to track your payments and sales online. They don't even give you a notice when they've shipped your check or confirmation that they've received the shipment of any items you've sold and mailed out to them.

I hear their hourly rate is outrageous! sportshort private msg quote post Address this user
I love them. I've been buying low cost books from them for months. I get between 3 & 5 slabs for around a hundred dollars plus shipping. It's been great so far. Even their "comic exchange" (their version of "buy it now) has some good/great deals if you are willing to do some research. I am enjoying getting a great "bang for my buck".

You do know that the new guy brings the donuts, right? DWeeB1967 private msg quote post Address this user
I've bought and sold with them a number of times over the years. As @DrWatson said it takes them a while to ship. It also takes them a while to deliver payment when you are selling. Still, with all that said, I've never had any problems with them at all.

I’ve purchased a few items.

Shill bidding doesn’t matter so long as you don’t exceed the price you’re willing to pay.

Hmm... Moderated again! figment private msg quote post Address this user
Comiclink has been our goto for GA books for 20 years, both buying and selling. Rock solid company and results!

A word of warning though, Comiclink does not report results to GPA and I have seen sales FAR in excess of what GPA suggests.

I’ve also seen many books far below GPA on ComicLink

I’ve been buying and selling on Comic Link for years. Great to deal with. Never had an issue with shipping times. However, I don’t thing they should ship things 2 minutes after I pay either. Generally, they ship items out within 5 - 7 business days of payment.

I don’t think it’s been brought up that they don’t charge a buyer’s fee like HA.com. So, if you aren’t paying by credit card, you just pay the cost of you bid plus shipping cost on your win. If you pay buy credit card they charge 3%.

This is exactly what I was going to post.

If you are worried about shill bidding or other such games, then you should do a deep dive into what was admitted to be happening in OA auctions several years ago. It was admitted to on a public forum. Conveniently since that time the posts and threads have all been scrubbed.

(Comic Link was not involved in it).
