Comics & original art
Shopify auction app for comics, original art, and prints
Comic shops, artists, and original-art dealers use Auction Now to auction slabs, commissions, and limited prints on their own Shopify store, with soft close and max bids so the final price reflects what collectors will actually pay.
Why auctions work for comics & original art
One-of-one items need price discovery
Original pages, commissions, and sketch covers have no comp. A timed auction lets the market set the price instead of you.
Artists sell direct
Auction Now is built by Raremarq, which runs an original comic art marketplace. We built the app to give artists and dealers the same auction tools on their own stores.
Drops become events
Schedule a batch of auctions to open when your con or newsletter drop goes live, and end them the same evening.
The features that matter here
Scheduled start
Set auctions to open at a specific time so a drop starts on the minute you announce it.
Soft close
Contested pages close only after 30 seconds of quiet, not at the second a sniper picked.
Branded emails
Outbid and ending-soon emails come from your shop's name, not an app's.
Combined shipping
A collector who wins a page and two prints pays one shipping charge.
Tips from sellers in this category
- Include the art's dimensions and medium in the product description; serious buyers won't bid without them.
- For graded books, start near the last sold price for that grade and let soft close do the rest.
- Auction the commission slot, not just finished work. Bidders pay for the artist's time.
Frequently asked questions
Does Auction Now work for a single artist's store?
