eBay‘s number of listings has surpassed 6 million for the first time!

Atomic Avenue: Our percentage of the total number of orders has dropped off sharply since we began implementing a high-dollar minimum order. This has helped prevent “hot” issues from selling out to speculators without purchases of more common stock.

Comic Collector Live: The number of stores has dropped by 50% in the past five years.

HipComic‘s number of listings has surpassed 1 million for the first time!
