Forgive me Tharg, for I have been bothered by time wasters on Preloved; it's been 9th May 2015 since I last tried to sell any of my collection. But I have repented and am here to make one final push to clear out the garage!

I have been there since Prog 1 in 1977 but space is at a premium and I don't really have the time to re-read everything from the past. It's really time to let go of the past, though I will never forget the good times I had.

I have so far sold about half the 2000ADs, a third of the Megazines. Many annuals, yearbooks and specials are still available. There are also a fair number of postcards, posters, a diary, playing cards and other indicia. I have done my best to estimate the conditions as best I can from looking at the issues themselves. Any potential buyer would be welcome to view them if they can get to me.

Please contact me with your requirements and I'll see if they are available. The photos shown are examples; those particular ones have been sold now.

NB: Most 2000ADs issues up to the high 400s have a name in biro on the front cover.

2000AD: 1 - 100 Condition: most OK, some good
2000AD: 101 - 519 Condition: half 5/10, quarter OK, quarter good
2000AD: 520 - 1823 Condition: mostly good to very good
JDM[All Volumes]: All: Condition: early ones good, newer ones very good

The prices below are I think they're worth, though it depends a bit on how many you are buying; make me an offer and let's see how it goes.

Postage (where applicable) would usually be by MyHermes, as they are cheap and reliable; postage for 100 progs with them is around £10 including insurance. I would consider other carriers if a buyer wanted me to.

Anybody interested?

Hi Everyone

These are photostats of original artwork by the late John Hicklenton, coloured by Keith Page / Gina Hart, and would have been used to make the masters for printing the comic. Additionally at some point after that, they have been signed by John, probably at a convention. More information in this thread.

Please note that the thumbnails below are 400x640; the full size images are 1536x2048.

Dated 1990 (from 'Black Widow', coloured by Gina Hart):


Dated 1993 (from 'Monkey Beat', coloured by Keith Page):


If your are interested in buying these, please PM me with an offer.

Kind Regards

Martin

However, since people seem not to be bothered by PayPal, perhaps somebody could tell me why it is so easy, when the Ts&Cs as advertised seem draconian.

You have to wait for your money if you are a new seller.

In disputes, presumption is made in favour of the buyer - you are guilty until proved innocent and they refund a buyer from your bank account before any arbitration has taken place; there's no equality. This alone is enough to make PayPal too big a risk.

And you can get around Paypal fees by asking the buyer to send you the money as a 'gift to friend or family'

Indeed, but (personally) I'd consider that cheating.

In any case, I wasn't looking to start a discussion (or worse ) about the merits of PayPal, just giving my reasons for making the request.

Thanks Jim, that's very helpful

Hi All

Is anybody who has bought from me before willing to help me with references?

I am occasionally getting people wanting to pay for progs by PayPal and often this will be for buyer security; however I would never sell via PayPal as I simply don't trust them with my bank account details in order to turn payments into actual money and they also charge fees. They have all sorts of restrictions on how and when you can access your money even if you do use them.

This sort of over-formalisation is fine if one is a multi billion $ corporation, but not for a private sale. In fact, quite frankly I detest PayPal and if I didn't buy on eBay then I wouldn't maintain a PayPal account at all.

I have dealt with several people on the 2000AD forums with no problems; would any of you that have dealt with me be prepared to offer references to buyers who may feel uncomfortable without using PayPal?

Kind Regards

Martin

So let me see if I have this correct...

These are photostats of John Hicklenton artwork, coloured by Keith Page or Gina Hart; they would have been used to make the masters for printing the comic.

So where did the longhand signatures on the right-hand side come from? Did John sign them after Gina and Kieth coloured them?

Fascinating stuff - thanks to all for the replies so far

I'll wait a while and by then I'll know how to describe them properly when I sell them. I never realised just what went into a panel of 2000AD.

I'm just a regular reader, not a comic expert geek

[signed]

Hi All

I was bought these as a Christmas present years ago; they were sold as signed original artwork by the late John Hicklenton at one of the regular antiques fairs in the old drill hall on the Quay in Sandwich, Kent. Please note that the thumbnails below are 400x640; the full size images are 1536x2048.

Dated 1990:


Dated 1993:


Now I have no idea how to validate the originality claims and no idea what the pictures are worth if genuine, so any help in that area would be gratefully appreciated.

Any ideas?
