Comic/RPG Dealers Wanted

[drplokta]

My mother works in the Oxfam shop in Chester. They've just been given a large collection (she says 35 crates, and estimates at least 1,000 items) of comics and RPGs. Does anyone know of any dealers who might be interested in taking a trip to Chester with a view to acquiring it?

There is a comic shop in Northwich, I would go and ask if they are interested, but I'm not going into town on Saturday, sorry. They are Millennium Comics 01606 492 55

FF

The SFF are in Liverpool, I don't know if it's worth asking them if they know anything...

More accurately, the SFF collection.

Leisure Games sell second hand but I don't know if they would want to travel to look at this - might be worth asking, or if they know of another dealer that might be interested

I don't think that Comic shops are particularly interested at the moment. Depends what it is of course, but most US stuff from the 90s onwards is available, mint, for less than cover price. If a shop is interested at all they may only offer £10 a box or something that is way way less than people expect. My experience of seeing comics for sale in Oxfam shops is that they have always been stupidly overpriced - say £2 for something I could pick up at a Mart for 20p.

A Place in Space in Croydon, 020 8686 2400, http://stores.ebay.co.uk/A-PLACE-IN-SPACE , http://www.facebook.com/pages/A-Place-In-Space/135761704608 will give you sensible advice (they told me not to sell to them because I could get far more on ebay, Amazon, etc). I know Grant who works there (went to school together) but I don't know the other staff by name.
