Old Aug 18th, 2005, 03:08 PM        Selling Comics Question
I have no idea how to go about selling these things. I have a ton of old ones from my dad and dead grandpa that I'm gonna sell. I need a car bad. I went to comingpricingguide.com and made a collection. In all, it says (excluding the comics that don't still have a cover and are too torn apart anyway) that they all add up to around $780.

So, that's great, but I have no idea where or how to sell them. Help me.

I would suggest calling around to local comic shops to see if they would want what you're pushing, first. A few years ago, I tried to unload a bunch of comics but no one wanted them (lots of Marvel and DC stuff from the early 90's).

If you can't find any place to buy them, either keep them for a while or attempt to eBay them.

I would go with Mike's suggestion. See if you can get a good deal for them locally at first...but you might fare better on ebay.

You're almost definitely not going to be able to sell comics worth that kind of money in one complete set unless they're all the same title. But that's good news, because though it'll take longer to sell them, you stand to make more money that way.

Is there a list that I can see anywhere? I might be interested in buying some of them myself.
