Starting bid was just an example... the price is up to you but you want to sell them and make money,]]> Wed, 07 Dec 2016 18:34:59 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=6605 Message from Jtolar
You have two good answers already. I have not used mycomicshop.com for the consignment service but they are very reputable. I use them for subscription services and they have a great support staff that is easy to work with.

Most of the time if you take it to a comic shop they will offer you a bulk price usually about 1/2 of the assumed value depending on the condition and titles. Not saying they are trying to cheat you, but if it is a large collection they may not have time to go through the whole collection but it is the easiest route. They are just taking the chance that they will make their money back eventually. I personally have bought collections in the past and have come out on both sides of the deal.

EBay has a couple of options. 1) You can take the time to go through the collection and figure out what you want to sell and list it (a lot of work) or 2) Sell it by the box... Mystery box of X comics Starting bid $30. Unsorted and Unfiltered.



I actually sat down and sorted through over 600 comics last night and I was able to do it in 2 hours, now checking prices on all those is a different story. It took me about 6 hours to price and enter about 400 comics in to CPG last time I did it.

So the jist is you have several options it just depends on what you expect to get out of it and what you are willing to put in. If you ever thought about collecting as a hobby you have a great start there.]]> Wed, 07 Dec 2016 13:38:31 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=6605 Message from lealew7 if you are close enough to trust each other, you could at least see if they are willing to purchase a chunk of them as well for their own needs or purposes. good luck!
