Selling comic books in Redditch
Redditch made most of the world’s needles and fishing tackle in the nineteenth century and the industry is recorded in a working mill museum. It was later designated a new town, which gave it a ring road and a set of housing districts around the older core.
New-town housing means furniture is replaced rather than kept, and manufacturing employment brings contract households in. The needle and tackle history means fishing equipment circulates unusually well here.
The town is built around a ring road with districts off it, so agree which district. Parking is easy throughout and driving is the assumption, so anything large is simple.
Redditch, in England, has around 82,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

- Condition graded on spine, corners, staples and page colour
Bag and board each comic, use a rigid mailer, and never fold. A creased comic is worth a fraction of a flat one and this is the commonest complaint.
