Shortboxed

I’ve used dozens of comic book related apps since the beginning of time (ok the App Store launch) and this is consistently one of the best platforms for buying and selling raw and graded comics. The search tools are amazing and the UI is continually improved based on actual user feedback. The entire flow as both a buyer and seller for the past 3 years has been extremely smooth. Listing items for sale takes 1/10 the time of eBay and payments for sold items are delivered quickly. Customer support actually exists and is both accessible and attentive. (I could only wish the same for others…) I can highly recommend Shortboxed. Great auctions, great community!

Easy way to find current market trends on comics and FMV . Loving this app

I’ve always had a seamless experience with Shortboxed. I also really appreciate their responsiveness to customers. Great people running the show at Shortboxed!

Buying from ShortBoxed was a wonderful experience experience. With no fees for sellers it is also more inexpensive for most purchases as well. Will definitely use ShortBoxed again for buying higher end comics!

I like this app, it’s well built and has good features for trying to be an informed consumer, but the shipping on items is too high often 2x other platforms shipping the same items. I’m not sure how that happens using the same USPS service but it’s a real barrier to making a purchase when I can buy the same item cheaper in another app.

It simplicity and elegant design makes it enjoyable to buy comics again. Download it now!

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT, buy from this app. Very misleading during the bidding process. You may bid for $1, but you are paying shipping and handling each book if from a different seller. Each book is $8 in shipping and tax. 4 books at a $1 would be $13 from one seller. Imagine 4 different sellers. That’s $52 plus tax, a 3% processing fee if using a card, so they make you add a bank account as well. The app frequently crashes and I recently won an auction on a CGC 9.8 comic for $17, shipping is $15 for slabs so about the normal price for one. I was emailed that the buyer didn’t like the price it sold for and cancelled. DON’T LIST YOUR ITEMS IF YOU AREN’T HAPPY WITH HOW MUCH THEY SELL FOR!! It’s like listing a car for sale, you shake my hand after I hand you the money and change your mind 4 days later. That money is already out of my account, now it’s 3-5 business days later for a refund. It’s the buyer and the apps fault. Don’t list the item in $20 minimum auction and the system lets me win it at $17 plus $15 shipping and tax. Don’t waste your time and money on the app. Multiple invoices from multiple people who can cancel at the drop of a dime!

The platform's user-friendly design makes browsing and listing comics a breeze, while its robust search and filter features ensure you can easily find rare issues by “watching” books. Auction transactions are secure and smooth, backed by excellent customer support that’s super responsive. The community Discord is a standout, with the CEO and staff interactions with fellow buyers and sellers.

Easy to list sell ship search buy. Responsive and competent customer support.
