This is such an awesome app to use. Very easy to follow and find what you need. The best part is when you actually buy comics. Any comics over a certain value gets checked by Shortboxed to ensure what you are paying for is valid. Their customer service is exceptional and I highly recommend this […]

Honestly a really great app. I only recently got into graded comics and I’d had the app for several months doing intense research. I’ve bought about 3 different comics on here, it is the easiest thing In the world. All Arrived earlier than anticipated and nicely packaged. Really made it a stress free experience. I […]

If you are a comic collector who likes graded comics this is the app for you. Books are easy to find and are shipped to you as advertised. Not only that you are able to send offers for books you are interested in and in some cases do payment plans on them! The app also […]

Just recently stumbled onto this app after starting back back up in the comic book scene. It’s definitely way better than any other marketplace for graded books and I really love the way it notates whether it’s a good or not so great buy along side recent sales of said book for comparison. On top […]

This is a great, almost hidden, market for graded comics. I have purchased a few now and have had no bad experiences at all. In fact, the one time I was worried about an order, I sent them an email and they looked in to it right away. Honestly, I want to tell people to […]

Shortbox app makes it so much easier to buy/sell comics. Not just that sometimes they offer discounted rates on comics and provide insurance making sure you are getting the comic you are paying for. A trust worthy app for a trust worthy experience. This app is not even at its peak and I can’t wait […]

Shortboxed is an awesome marketplace for graded comics. I’ve only used it from the consumer end, but I think it’s a great resource for buyers and sellers. There are tons of new listings daily, and the search and sort features are easy to use and very well done. It has a great offer system to […]

This app is a must have for all comic people. It is epic, easy to use, it’s safe and has a great community on discord. It eliminates all the hassle and stress is stress of buying comics on other platforms. You get all the information up front before you buy. I have bought 10 plus […]

Just started collecting comic slabs and I thought this would be the best and safest way to do it. So far I have purchased 2 slabs from Shortboxed and everything went well. I was able to bargain a little on the price and the slabs arrived at my house undamaged. I would recommend buying from […]

Pinnacle of slab commerce! I have made three purchases so far on the shortboxed app and couldn’t be more satisfied with my experience. All three came through without one problem. I was even able to make offers on two of those books and saved some money. Love it. Customer service answered my initial questions on […]

This app really is a great place to buy and sell graded books. With quarantine happening this year, it really became a clutch with me buying the comics I wanted instead of cons that ended up being cancelled. Plus, the app itself is super easy. They email you right away about your comic you bought, […]

Edit- It’s been 5 months since I made my initial review,and they still can’t pay out on time and still can’t reply to concerns in a timely manner. Deleting account. I’m having trouble getting paid out, and there’s no customer service number. I’m not interested in waiting 24 hours or more for an email response […]

I’ve been using the Shortboxed app for a few months and have made a couple of purchases so far. The app is easy to navigate and its easy to search individual issues and filter by grade. I also like that you can set notifications for issues at specific grades. The comics I’ve ordered have arrived […]

Review after approx. 4 months. About 5 successful purchases (no sales yet). I like the clean interface and the mostly white color scheme. Searching is quick and painless. If you know exactly what you want, the suggestions can be intrusive. But that’s a personal preference. I also had one instance where images failed to load […]

Shortboxed is my primary spot to buy/sell and track my collection. The easiest feature is taking pics of the comics I want to add to my portfolio. The app scans the pic and fills in most of the details. The app allows the user to submit which comics to sell. Other users can search and […]

First time user of this app, and I’m really liking it so far. Very user friendly, can make offers, and can bookmark books of interest. Sellers of the bookmarked items also send offers. Items are very descriptive, easy to read, and also shows previously sold to gauge prices, as well as census data. There’s also […]

Horribly Expensive Shipping Prices. It was more than 30 dollars on a multi item order, and item didnt even arrive in special packaging. Shop elsewhere, as the auctions are heavily inflated by accounts associated with the seller and the shipping is much too expensive. expect to pay additional fee per each item on the order. […]

Great site to buy thru. No higher prices on items, like feeBay, so the seller can cover their charges. Want a better price? Then simply make an offer to the seller. You are dealing direct – no middle man. Its easy to search for desired items, see the grade and check with grading company for […]

ACH processing takes 4-7 days, but says 2-4. Says it ships in 2-3 days, but they take more like 2-3 weeks. Some Sellers won’t even ship if the auction didn’t sell for enough for them, and they aren’t penalized in any way by Shortboxed. There is no way to message sellers, so you just have […]

Great for seller’s and buyer’s! I have done both sides of the site, and seriously, who doesn’t love not having to pay sales tax? And for seller’s, no more worrying about shipping costs!! The fee’s are lower too! And, all book’s are insured with expert liability insurance! Great for those high value book’s! It has […]
