Buying comics in Oakland
Who we buy from in Oakland
Short version: Samurai Comix is a comic book buyer that comes to Oakland, CA, looks at your comics in person, makes a cash offer based on recent sales, and buys the entire collection the same day. Text COMICS to (559) 326-8337 to start.
Oakland and Berkeley have been comic towns for sixty years, from the underground comix scene to the shops on Telegraph and in Rockridge. Collections here tend to run deep: Silver and Bronze Age Marvel bought new, long runs of independents, and a lot of books that have been in the same house since the 70s.
We buy across the East Bay, from Rockridge, Temescal, Piedmont, Montclair and the Oakland hills to Alameda, San Leandro, Castro Valley, Hayward, Union City, Fremont, Walnut Creek, Lafayette, Orinda, Concord, Pleasant Hill, Martinez, Richmond, El Cerrito, Hercules and Vallejo. Estate collections, downsizing collectors, shop back stock. We carry everything out ourselves.
The East Bay is about three hours from Fresno; we schedule a day and come to you. We serve Berkeley, Alameda, Emeryville, Hayward, San Leandro, Fremont, Walnut Creek, Concord, Richmond and Vallejo, and the rest of California.
What we buy
Collections, singles and individual comics
Entire comic book collections
One long box or a garage full. Inherited collections, estate collections, storage-unit finds. We take all of it, sorted or not.
Key issues and graded comics
First appearances, number ones, famous covers, variants, and CGC or CBCS slabs in any grade. Send a photo of the cover or the label and we will quote it.
Single and individual comics
One book, a short stack, or the handful of Silver Age comics your dad kept in the closet. If it is a comic, we want to see it.
How it works
Three steps from boxes to cash
Text COMICS to (559) 326-8337

We call you back with a real offer
We price against actual recent sales, not a wish list. You get a straight number, usually within 24 hours.
We come to Oakland and pay on the spot
We confirm the books at your home, storage unit or shop, pay you, and load everything ourselves.
Before you sell
What your comics are worth in Oakland
Comic book values do not change by city, but the offers do: a Oakland shop prices for its own shelf, an auction house takes a cut of the keys and leaves you the rest, and a mail-in buyer makes you ship first. We price every book against recent sales and buy all of it in one visit. If you want to understand the number before you text us, read how much comic books are worth and how to sell a comic book collection, written by us, with no fluff.
Questions from Oakland sellers
Selling comic books in Oakland, answered
Do you really come to Oakland?
Yes. The East Bay is about three hours from Fresno; we schedule a day and come to you. You never box up or ship anything; we look at the books in person and pay you the same day.
How much are comic books worth in Oakland?
The same as anywhere: value depends on the era, the titles, the condition and whether there are key issues. Most of a collection's value is usually in a small number of books. Text us photos of the spines and a few covers and we will give you a straight number, usually within 24 hours. Our guide to how much comic books are worth explains how we price.
Do you buy newer comics, or only old ones?
Both. Most buyers only want books printed before 1980 and leave you with the rest. We buy the whole collection, including modern books, because we have our own outlet for them.
Who buys comic books near me in Oakland?
Samurai Comix does. We are a comic book buyer based in Fresno, California that travels to Oakland and the rest of California to buy collections in person. Local comic shops will usually buy your key issues; we buy the keys and everything else, in one visit, for cash.
I already have an offer from a comic shop in Oakland. Will you beat it?
Send it to us. We will beat it, or we will tell you it is a fair offer and you should take it.
What do I need to do before you come?
Nothing. Do not sort, grade, bag or list anything. Photos of the boxes and any books you think matter are all we need to make an offer. We bring the cash and do the lifting.
