I live in Scotland and collect the same American back issues I did originally 35- 40 years ago. I grew up in Canada in 70's and early 80's and loved my comics. I buy most of my back issues on British e-bay. It is very expensive to get them sent from America and if you had a problem with one it would be a hassle. I have established a small list of sellers who can actually grade as most of the comics are over-graded (some greatly). Sometimes I take a chance on an unknown seller if price is right. There is only 1 decent comic shop that sells back issues in Glasgow (used to be a few in 90's) but they are expensive. They sometimes do a half price sale in January but any real valuable ones are put away during half price sale. Any other British collectors of American comics on here?

Hi Gabe!

Welcome to Comic Collector Live, we're happy to have you!

We do have some CCL'ers from the UK and other Commonwealth nations like Canada and Australia. I even think there's a guy from New Zealand.

Are you a DC or Marvel person? Or do you like both? Who are your favorite characters? What is the name of your LCS in Scotland?

As you can see from my handle I am a big Moon Knight guy. Marvel is my favorite but I also like a lot of DC and other publishers as well.

It is darn expensive to ship overseas unfortunately. If you are interested I do offer a Global Shipping Program in my CCL store - Hall of Heroes. If you want, I'll buy comics from multiple stores here and send them to you in one package thereby consolidating the postage. I have served numerous customers from all over the world - UK, Australia, Brazil, Mexico and Italy to name a few.

It's awesome to see new Members joining up! I hope you stick around and check out the rest of the Forums.

It's funny, when I answered the poll back in '07 I pretty much strictly bought my comics at my local comic shop with the occasional online purchase. Fast forward nine years and it's the complete opposite. I'm lucky if I go to the local shop once a year now. CCL gets pretty much all my comic book money (when I have it).

Similarly, I almost never go to any of the LCS around here except for Mile High's Warehouse.
All my new stuff comes from DCBS and most of my back-issues are from here, Midtown, or Lone Star.

Local comic book shop works best for me

Almost 99% of my restocking is done by shopping at other CCL stores!

Mostly online, love buying on CCL. Except they need to rein in a seller (I'm sure many know to whom I am referring). Updates every day and often twice in one day, yet only adding 1, 2, or NO comics. I guess being atop the Seller's Post list is important. But caveat emptor...bought from him twice, both times there was no care whatsoever with protecting the comics in shipping. Just lazy AF. I suppose I expect more when ordering vintage books

Every other seller on here kicks ass! ComicsMD, jeremyshorr (Titan Comics), danscomics (The Goblin's Cavern), Manhattan_On_Mars, MoonKnight1 (Hall of Heroes), Trimbletitan, symbiotikcomics, Kingsman (Bucky's Comics), PTGRTS, Thundercron (Thundercron's Longbox), BlueMoon, and DGarman (Edgewood Comics) all are top-notch sellers who I would never hesitate to purchase (confidently) from again.

I've heard of a store called Alpha comics is pretty good too....

I've heard great things about Alpha Comics. Just haven't purchased from there yet. Soon.

No worries, almost all of those shops you list are ones that I shop at on a regular basis!
