Sell Your Graphic Novels in Australia

Used graphic novels in Australia typically sell for A$8 to A$57 (about $5 to $40). Graphic novels sell by volume number and print run, so the listing that wins states exactly which volumes are included and whether the run is complete.

Selling graphic novels in Australia

Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.

Australia’s second-hand market is strongly local and strongly seasonal, with most activity concentrated in the eastern capitals and buyers who expect to collect.

Australia Post covers everywhere, but distance pricing is real and interstate parcels cost meaningfully more than local ones.

WishThrift has not opened Australia for trading yet, so this page is a guide rather than a live marketplace — the category becomes browsable here the moment the first Australian sellers list.

Working out what yours is worth

Check the printing number on the copyright page
List exactly which volumes you have

Getting it ready

Check spines for creasing and the covers for corner wear, which is where graphic novels show reading.
Note the publisher and printing, since some editions and omnibus formats are worth considerably more.

Put in the description

Series title, and exactly which volume numbers are included
Publisher and edition, including omnibus or deluxe formats
Whether the run is complete

Series, volume range and publisher: “[Series] Volumes 1-8, Complete Set, [Publisher]”. Volume numbers are the search. If the run is incomplete, say which volumes are included in the title rather than letting a buyer count them from a photograph.

Steady year round with a lift before Christmas. Complete runs of popular series sell within days; scattered single volumes are slow unless they fill a known gap.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$57 a buyer pays is the A$57 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Where in Australia

Australia is a big place and what sells well moves with it. These are the parts of Australia with their own page for graphic novels.

Common questions

Where can I sell graphic novels in Australia?

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.

Which volumes are included?

List every number explicitly. Collectors are filling gaps in a run and a vague ‘several volumes’ guarantees a question or a lost sale.

Does the printing matter?

For sought-after titles, yes. First printings sell for meaningfully more, and the number is on the copyright page.

Should I sell volumes separately?

Complete runs raise more as a set. Sell singles only to fill gaps in someone else’s collection.
