I am MJ. I move high-value comics for collectors who do not want to hand a five-figure book to a stranger and hope. One person in the middle, from the first message to the last shipping label.
You do not have to work out which of these you want. Tell me what you have and I will tell you honestly which route gets you the most for it.
You want it gone and the money in your hand. Send it over and I will make you a straight offer. No consignment, no waiting on a buyer, no percentage.
I sell it for you and get more for it than a quick sale would. Listing, photography, buyers and the haggling are mine. Never more than 3.5%, out of the sale, nothing up front.
You are not ready to sell, but you would for the right number. Keep the book, tell me that number, and I will quietly watch for a buyer. Private consignment, in effect.
Swap what you have for something you would rather own. I have brokered trades in this community for a decade, including deals well into six figures.
Tell me the one book you have never been able to find. Any book, any grade, any era. The signal stays on until it turns up.
Two collectors, one deal, and neither one wants to ship first. I stand in the middle, check both books, and only then do they go on.
Each one has told me the exact book and the exact grade they need. They are not browsing. They have been looking for years.
If you own one of them, I already have a potential buyer. Tell me and I will work the deal.
Live from my desk. If your book is on it, somebody is already waiting.
Your book is not for sale. Unless the number is right. You do not have to put it on the market to find out whether somebody will pay that number.
It is private consignment. Same idea as leaving a book with me to sell, except it is never listed anywhere, nobody knows it is available, and it stays in your house until you agree to a deal.
Tell me the price where you would actually let it go, and I hold it against the collectors already hunting that exact book.
Not sure? Start with Private Match. You can always move to consignment later if you decide you would rather I went out and sold it.
I have never had a book fail to arrive and I have never had a deal go sideways. I have got the receipts for that.
But you should not have to take that from me. Unsolicited reviews from people I have actually traded with, some of them for the best part of a decade. Real accounts, real names, nothing written by me. Enough of them that they fill two highlights.
Open the comments on each one to read what people said. Instagram sometimes bounces that link if you are not signed in; if it does, open @mjofcomics and tap either highlight marked REVIEWS.
Four numbers cover everything I do. You never pay me before a book sells, and selling outright costs you nothing at all, because I am the one buying it.
And there is nothing else. No listing fee, no photography fee, nothing for the marketing. You will never be caught off guard by a number you have not already seen.
You send me the book and I go and sell it.
I handle the listing, the photos, the buyers and the haggling. A ceiling, not a starting point, and on larger books it comes down.
You keep the book. I watch for a buyer.
Never listed. It stays with you until you agree to a deal. Flat rate, and only if I actually find somebody.
Send me a consignor and your next book is cheaper.
One referral, one book. It comes off the next one you send me, not the one already with me.
You pay nothing to get started.
On either service. The fee comes out of the sale, and there is none at all if the book does not sell.
Two strangers, one big deal, and nobody moves. That deadlock kills more trades in this hobby than money ever does.
MJ Secure removes the deadlock. Both books come to me. I check them against what was agreed, document what arrives, and only then does either one go out.
There is no form for this one. Both sides have to agree terms before anything moves, so it starts with a message rather than a submission.
Insure it for its value when you send it. It is covered on the way to me, while it is with me, and on the way to the buyer, to $25,000 per package. Every leg, both directions.
Most of these are cash deals. A trade can run through it too, priced privately. I verify that a slab and its certification match the deal. I do not authenticate books, which is the grading company's job.
$75 is the minimum fee on any book. Above $25,000 a deal is worked out privately.
See exactly what MJ Secure costs, every line →Inherited a run you know nothing about. Downsizing after thirty years. Boxes in a parent's attic that nobody has opened since the nineties.
Send me some photos and tell me roughly what is there. Rough is fine. "Four boxes, mostly seventies Marvel" is a real answer.
Then we talk. Every collection is different, and what makes sense depends on what is in it and what you actually want out of it. Nothing goes anywhere until we have both agreed it should.
How to enterI built my own Batcomputer to run this business, so your details never go into somebody else's platform. Alfred is the butler who keeps it, and yes, he is software.
What matters is what he cannot do. Your name and your number never appear on his screen. The backups are sealed with a passphrase he does not have. He runs the whole operation and he still cannot unlock the archives.
Two minutes, no account, and no obligation. If I am not the right person for your book I will tell you that instead of wasting your time.
Not sure which one you need? Just message me and I will point you at the right one.
