Industry News: ComicConnect.com Unveiled

ComicConnect.com Unveiled

Industry News, Scoop, Friday, June 01, 2007

A new comic book auction site, www.comicconnect.com, has opened for business and is offering its services free of charge until September 2007, and the company has publically stated that there will be no seller fees until that time.ComicConnect intends to give the user control over setting the prices paid and received for the sale of items on the site.

“For a long time, Vincent Zurzolo and Stephen Fishler of Metropolis have felt that there is an unanswered need in the comic collecting community. They constantly heard complaints about consignment websites, eBay and auction houses. They listened. More importantly, they’ve done something about it,” the company said in a press release.

“This is not a dealer’s site. This is not Metropolis’ site. ComicConnect.com is your site,” they said.

“The site is well laid out and easy to use - even for the novice collector. Buyers and sellers are screened to protect all aspects of the transaction. Pre-screeners will check for grade accuracy as well as preliminary checks for restoration,” they said.

“There aren’t the exorbitant sellers’ fees to take a cut out of what money the seller receives either. ComicConnect is, quite simply, a better model for buying and
selling comics, where the users of ComicConnect are the ones who benefit most,” they said.

The staff of ComicConnect is also always standing by to provide guidance to collectors and to answer whatever questions you might
have about getting started buying and selling. With well over 50 years of combined experience in the market place, you will have the most knowledgeable
minds in the business at your disposal if questions arise. Also, ComicConnect’s Site Administrator, Jason Trobman, is available to answer
technical questions via email at support@comicconnect.com or by phone at (212) 895 -3999.
