Used graphic novels in Leeds typically sell for £4 to £30 (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 Leeds
Leeds is the financial and legal centre of the north with two large universities packed close to the centre, and it has one of the strongest vintage clothing scenes in the country. Kirkgate Market has been trading since the nineteenth century, so buying used here is entirely unremarkable rather than a lifestyle position.
The student districts empty and refill every summer, and because they are so concentrated the turnover is visible: whole streets change hands in a fortnight. That is when desks, bookshelves and bikes come onto the market in volume.
The centre is small enough to cross on foot in twenty minutes and the station sits in the middle of it, which makes meeting up straightforward. The dense student districts north of the centre are close enough together that collecting furniture from one is a short trip rather than an afternoon.
Student-let furniture has usually had a hard three years even when it photographs well. Check the joints on anything wooden and sit on anything upholstered before you commit.
Handing it over in Leeds
Distance selling rules bind traders, not private sellers, but an item must still be as described and anything sold as working must actually work. Around Headingley, Hyde Park and Chapel Allerton are where this sort of thing tends to change hands.
What graphic novels are worth
What lifts the price
- Complete runs and omnibus editions
- Spines with no creasing or reading damage
What pulls it down
- Creased spines from reading
- Incomplete runs with gaps
Working out what yours is worth
- Photograph the spines directly
- List exactly which volumes you have
Getting it ready
- Line up the volumes in order and identify exactly which numbers you have and which are missing.
- Check spines for creasing and the covers for corner wear, which is where graphic novels show reading.
Photograph
- All volumes lined up with spines readable, in order
- One interior spread, showing print and page condition
Put in the description
- Series title, and exactly which volume numbers are included
- 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.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
