Portsmouth's continental ferry port and naval heritage make it one of the most distinctive coastal cities in England. We work with sellers across PO postcodes, from Old Portsmouth and Southsea through to Cosham, Waterlooville and Havant.
Royal Navy connections mean Portsmouth collections often include long runs of war comics — Battle Picture Weekly, Commando, Warlord — alongside the usual Marvel and DC keys. We pay competitively for complete bagged-and-boarded long runs and original Commando library numbers in fine condition.
Three steps
Logistics
Royal Mail Tracked 24 from any PO postcode lands with us next working day. Larger collections (40+ books) qualify for free insured collection — particularly straightforward across the Portsmouth, Fareham and Gosport area.
All postage costs are refunded on accepted offers, and every parcel is fully tracked and insured to its full declared value. We never ask you to use uninsured postage.
Common questions
Send us photos or a list of your collection through our valuation form. We'll come back to you with a fair offer — usually within one working day. Accept it, and we either book a free insured courier collection from your address in Portsmouth or send you a prepaid Royal Mail Tracked label. Once your books arrive and match the description, we pay by same-day BACS.
For collections of around 40 books or more anywhere in Portsmouth and the surrounding Hampshire area we book and pay for fully insured DPD collection from your door. Smaller collections we ask you to post — Tracked 24 from Portsmouth reaches us reliably the next working day and we refund the postage on accepted offers.
