Auctions on Nerd Crawler started because we wanted to help Big Wow! Art raise funds to help those impacted by the devastating Maui fires, and since then, we've helpes artists, sellers, and charities earn thousands. But, we never formally announcing a program to help charities and non-profits.
Today, we're chaging that, and we're thrilled to announce that any qualifying charity or non-profit that wants to use Nerd Crawler to auction original art, sketch covers, commissions, and prints will be approved to auction.
And more importantly, approved non-profits and charities will receive a complimentary upgrade to our Pro plan ($99/mo value) for the months where they're running a charity auction, which will allow them to take payments for auctions outside of Nerd Crawler so they can keep 100% of the funds for your cause.
“Before Nerd Crawler, I would host auctions on the Big Wow Art Facebook group, which worked but were very time-consuming,” said Morger of Big Wow Art. “With Auctions on Nerd Crawler, Chris has made a platform that is easy to use, has zero transaction fees, and provides modern tech features like customer relationship management and seller analytics. It’s a no-brainer to use!”
“With Nerd Crawler’s proprietary auction technology, we make bidding effortless, and by extending auctions by 30 seconds whenver someone bids, we’re able to capture the true value of original comic art and raise more for charities,” said Chris Tung–founder and CEO of Nerd Crawler. “We've already raised thousands with auctions from the likes of Frank Cho and Ryan Ottley, and we're so excited to help more artists, sellers, charities, and non-profits raise more for the causes that matter most to them.”
Nerd Crawler allows artists to easily sell original comic art directly to a community of thousands of collectors. Collectors are able to buy original comic art on an easy-to-browse marketplace filled with thousands of pieces of art. All Nerd Crawler members can list original comic art for sale with a fixed price or allow interested buyers to submit an offer with Nerd Crawler’s easy “Make Me An Offer” feature, but to list original art for auction, sellers and artists must go through Nerd Crawler’s verification process. This allows Nerd Crawler to maintain their status as a premium original comic art marketplace and bring on top-tier artists including Frank Cho, Dan Brereton, Khoi Pham, Ryan Ottley, and many more.

Nerd Crawler was founded in 2022 by Chris Tung--a Marvel Comics and ComiXology alum--and quickly became the #1 app for real-time original comic art alerts. Since then, Nerd Crawler has evolved into the easiest way to buy, sell, and auction original comic art directly to collectors. Learn more at www.nerdcrawler.com
