Buying comics in Santa Barbara
Who we buy from in Santa Barbara
Short version: Samurai Comix is a comic book buyer that comes to Santa Barbara, 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.
The Central Coast has fewer buyers than LA or the Bay, so Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo sellers often end up shipping books to a mail-in buyer or taking a shop offer that only covers the keys. We drive to you, look at everything in person and buy the whole collection.
We buy from Santa Barbara, Montecito, Goleta, Isla Vista and Carpinteria up through Santa Ynez, Solvang, Lompoc, Santa Maria, Nipomo, Arroyo Grande, Pismo Beach, San Luis Obispo, Morro Bay, Atascadero and Paso Robles.
Santa Barbara is about three and a half hours from Fresno; we come over the hill for collections of any real size. We serve Goleta, Carpinteria, Santa Maria, Lompoc, Solvang, San Luis Obispo, Paso Robles and Atascadero, 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 come to Santa Barbara 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 Santa Barbara
Comic book values do not change by city, but the offers do: a Santa Barbara 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 Santa Barbara sellers
Selling comic books in Santa Barbara, answered
Do you really come to Santa Barbara?
Yes. Santa Barbara is about three and a half hours from Fresno; we come over the hill for collections of any real size. 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 Santa Barbara?
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 Santa Barbara?
Samurai Comix does. We are a comic book buyer based in Fresno, California that travels to Santa Barbara 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 Santa Barbara. 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.
