Buying comics in San Francisco
Who we buy from in San Francisco
Short version: Samurai Comix is a comic book buyer that comes to San Francisco, 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.
San Francisco and the East Bay have some of the oldest collections in the state, going back to the underground comix era and the first wave of Silver Age Marvel. We buy from estates, downsizing collectors and shops across the Bay.
We buy across the city and the Peninsula: the Sunset, the Richmond, the Mission, Noe Valley, Bernal Heights, the Castro, the Marina, SoMa, Pacific Heights, the Excelsior and Visitacion Valley, plus Daly City, South San Francisco, San Bruno, Millbrae, Burlingame, San Mateo, Foster City, Belmont, San Carlos, Redwood City, Menlo Park and Palo Alto, and across the bridges to Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda and Marin. Parking, stairs and a 40-year-old closet full of long boxes are our problem, not yours; we carry everything out.
San Francisco sellers often assume the best money is at auction. For a handful of high-grade Golden and Silver Age keys that can be true, and we will tell you so. For everything else, a single cash sale to a buyer who takes the whole collection usually nets more than months of consignment fees, shipping and waiting.
The Bay Area is about three hours from Fresno; we schedule a day and come to you. We serve Oakland, Berkeley, Daly City, South San Francisco, San Mateo, Redwood City, Palo Alto and Marin, 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.

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 San Francisco 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 San Francisco
Comic book values do not change by city, but the offers do: a San Francisco 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 San Francisco sellers
Selling comic books in San Francisco, answered
Do you really come to San Francisco?
Yes. The Bay Area 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 San Francisco?
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 San Francisco?
Samurai Comix does. We are a comic book buyer based in Fresno, California that travels to San Francisco 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 San Francisco. 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.
