A Texas Howdy to all,

Everyone here at Lone Star Comics wishes you a Happy Holiday Season and a Merry Christmas!

We completed our move from our old downtown address. We are now at 1800 Timberlake Drive, Arlington, TX 76010. Our phone number--817-860-7827--is unchanged as are our office hours, M-F 9AM to 6PM Central Time. Our sell/trade partners should begin using this new address, but if you've already shipped to our old address, your boxes will still reach us.  The post office, UPS, and FedEx all know us well as we are the largest shipping account in Arlington, a city of 380,000.

Moving several million comic books is a big job. We began by putting up enough new shelving in our Timberlake location to accommodate current inventory. Now that we have all elements of our office and warehouse relocated, this week we'll begin erecting additional shelving that will double our total shelf capacity.

Our Timberlake building is twice the size of our old building cluster. Over the years, as we grew in the old location, we added nearby building to our "campus" until we were occupying six buildings.  We are now in a single building that from wall-to-wall was designed by me for only one purpose--the efficient delivery of comics to customers. The new building vastly improves our ability to provide even better service even as it cuts our operating costs. Timberlake also gives me the opportunity to redesign our inventory processing and retail platform.  In the coming months, as these changes go online, you'll be thoroughly pleased with the new, even better Lone Star Comics/Mycomicshop.

Consignment and Auction news and options

Our December auction is now underway and runs through Thursday, Dec. 18th. This last auction for the year features 1,898 cool single and multi-item lots, everything from comics to original art. If you haven't shipped your items yet, it is too late for December, but now there's plenty of time to make it into the January auction. 

There's no better way to buy and sell comics! So if you've got comics to sell, you can make 90% of the selling price, receive free grading, and we ship your books to the seller and send YOU the cash!

Each and every one of our auctions is chocked full of hot, high demand items as well as hard-to-find Silver, Gold, and even older issues.  There will be something here for everyone plus the fun of online bidding. Our selection of comics is always outstanding, and now I'm pleased to say that our art lots are likewise growing. Stay with us.

No comic selling site is complete without auctions.  That's why we added them--a new auction every month! We know you like to have fun and so do we! Auctions are FUN!

Buyers like our auctions because they know they can count on us for professional, reliable grading.  Sellers like us for our generous terms AND quick-as-lightning payments.  What more could buyers and sellers ask for?  Well, whatever it is, we have it!

We are now accepting lots for our January auction.

You can check out our Fixed Price Consignment and Auction info page at Mycomicshop Consignment Service.

If you've used and like other features on our site, you'll love our consignment option--fixed price or auction.

Our consignment option offers these useful features:

·         FREE auction and fixed price listings.

·         Our commission when items sell: 

·         10% for items selling under $300 ($5 minimum commission).

·         8% $300 to $3,000

·         6% over $3,000

·         Comic lots only: The minimum commission on lots (aka groups of comics auctioned together as a single item) is $10 for up to 10 items, plus $1 per item for any additional items beyond 10. Otherwise, standard consignment rates apply.

·         FREE Lone Star Comics grading. Buyers trust our grading. That means you'll get a better price than you'd get on eBay where buyers don't trust most seller grading and as a consequence play it safe by bidding low. Our reliable and trusted grading always gets you better bids from buyers!

·         Pricing assistance.  If a consignor isn't sure how he should price a comic, we provide extensive analysis of current market prices--a review of our own recent sales as well as sales posted on GPA.

·         Price adjustment option.  If a comic doesn't sell quickly enough, the consignor can go to his account and reduce the price himself.  You can also increase a selling price.

·         We list fixed price consignment items on eBay for sellers at no extra charge.  Between Mycomicshop's best-on-the-internet site traffic and eBay traffic, no fixed-price consignment site offers greater visibility!

·         Prompt payment when your item sells.  No waiting weeks or even months to get paid.  And with your payment you receive a clear, easy to understand invoice.
