Hello everyone, I hope someone out there can help me with my selling issue. I am trying to help out my grandma in selling her un-used GREAT condition comic books, but when I look on ebay how to sell them they have a huge range, some selling individually and others as groups. I have (stars): 14 Ewoks issues, 6 Get Along Gang, 27 Muppet Babies issues, and 20 Care Bears issues. I don't even know where to begin! Thanks

The question that needs to be asked is this, "Do you want to get TOP DOLLOR for them?"

--------------------------------------------

“I don’t do this for the Commander in Chief.  I do this for my country, and I will continue to do so.”

"They are blind to history's clear lesson, for history teaches with unmistakable emphasis that appeasement but begets new and bloodier war. It points to no single instance where this end has justified that means, where appeasement has led to more than a sham peace. Like blackmail, it lays the basis for new and successively greater demands until, as in blackmail, violence becomes the only other alternative."

"Why," my soldiers asked of me, "surrender military advantages to an enemy in the field?" I could not answer.

- Gen Douglas MacArthur

With what you listed, you could sell as one lot on eBay and maybe get $10-15 dollars for them.

You'd be better off just giving them to a kid who might want to read them.

Sorry.

How Sweet. Your best bet if you are intent on selling them is to watch similar auctions on ebay and get a feel for what you are in for. Unfortunately for you argus is right. It would probably make your heart feel better than giving granny $5 or $10 bucks if you would just donate them. Try a children's ward at a local hospital.

and when you see someone say "top dollor"...head for cover. It's never good around here for newbies who need help selling.

Jess,

Kree does know a thing or two about the Marvel's Stars line-up (certainly more than I do..seeing as how I am a grown-up ), it may be worthwhile taking his advice and doing some searches on eBay to see if those might sell better in runs by title.

Bobo....I think I was being very nice, actually.  But yes, point taken about some of the others.

Message to everyone....let's try to be a little more welcoming, shall we?  At least wait until the newbie demonstrates any signs of poor behavior before we start slapping 'top dollor' jokes on them.

(And Bobo...I did edit your post. )
