Declutter Your Life.
Get Comfortable.
It’s never easy to sell. But when it’s time for you to make that decision, consider Big B Barrie. We are actively buying all sorts of collectibles.
All Comics 1989 and older
We will buy all comics from this era. Super-Hero titles like Spider-Man and Batman are the most popular (and therefore the ones that will get you the most $$$) but we also take Archies, War Comics, Horror Comics, Westerns, TV Comics, and everything else.
“How do I tell how old my comics are?”
Comics generally have no dates printed on the cover, but you can tell the date from the original cover price. Look for anything $1.00 and less.
“What about my comics from 1991 like Spawn and X-Men or this short box of New 52 DCs I have?”
We do buy comics from 1990 to the present, but we are more choosy. It is much less common for comics from this time period to have collectible value and we, like most stores, are overstocked already. We therefore end up paying bulk rate for this kind of stuff a lot of the time, but we’ll always look to see if you have anything worthwhile too.
Whatever you have, no collection is too big or too small. We’ll buy it all!
Graphic Novels
We are currently offering store credit for any and all used or new graphic novel comic books, as long as they are not overly worn or damaged. You can bring these by the shop anytime without an appointment. Clear out that shelf of stuff you’re probably not going to read again and get something new – our expert staff are all ready to help you.
“How about manga? Do you buy used manga?”
Unfortunately we do not buy used manga.
“What about my old comic strips like Dilbert or Calvin and Hobbes?
We do not buy these types of books either.
Vintage Toys
Did you know that many of the toys of your childhood are sought after by collectors all over the world? That box of Transformers you are saving for the grandkids might help you put junior through university instead! At Big B Barrie we pay top dollar for boys and girls toys from the 1960s, ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, and 2000s! Action figures, dolls, vehicles, playsets and castles, spare weapons, loose parts – we’ll take it all! Whether you have items that are still sealed in the packaging or have been well-loved throughout your childhood, we want it and have experts on staff that can tell you all about them. Right now you will get the most money for:
- Any Super-Heroes from 1960 right to the present
- Transformers 1980s to present
- Power Rangers
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
- Star Wars 1970s to present
