We're trying something a bit different: rather than holding an in-store auction for a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon, we're holding week-long auctions on eBay, the Internet's premier site for collectibles auctions. We've got over 30 hand-picked items up for grabs this week (with new items each week), that we think showcase the incredible variety of comics & related collectibles that we have available in our store. To see the entire list, follow this link:

BEACHEAD COMICS eBAY SELLER'S PAGE

* If you have any trouble connecting to this link,
please email us immediately.

From the list page, you can click on any item to go to a description of the item & a picture of the cover. If you are already a registered eBay user, you know what to do: just go ahead & bid. If you're not yet a registered eBay user, just follow the simple steps at the link that says "Register" and you'll be all set to go. (eBay registration is FREE!) All of the information you'll need will be at your fingertips, including the starting bid, the current bid and when the auction for any item ends. You'll be bidding against users from all over the globe, but our local customers have a distinct advantage: high bidders who arrange to pick up their auction winnings in our store will save on the shipping & handling charges. (Auction items are also available for inspection in the store, so you can have a good look at them BEFORE bidding.) We'll also be letting our customers who do NOT have access to the Internet know that they can view a copy of the auction list in our store, inspect the items they're interested in and place bids through us.....we will submit them to eBay for them & alert them of the final results (or if they prefer, we'll keep them informed of the bidding on the items they're interested in throughout the week's auction!)

This is something of an experiment for us, and we hope we can count on your support as we hold our first online auction. You already know that you can bid with confidence and that we assure that you will be happy with all your auction purchases. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions about this auction, please feel free to email or call us, or stop by the store and speak to us in person. Thanks for your continued support. We hope you'll participate in these, our first eBay auctions. Good luck & happy reading!
