Where is the best place to sell comics

I am also curious about buying and selling comics. i recently inherited a decent collection (about 350) and am in process of imputing them into the collection here on this site. quite amazed at the value of some, though i wouldn't want to sell the inherited books for sentimental reasons. I how however found that i really enjoy learning about the comics, especially silver aged ones. So i hoped on Ebay and have purchased 2 comics. Flash Gordon #5 they say its graded at 9/9.2 and i paid with shipping $12.35 and also Action Comics #322 which i'm thinking will be a grade 3/3.5 with shipping i paid $8.99 for. I think i'm on target for both maybe a little under for the Flash Gordon #5.
My question is though surly shipping cost must mean either the buyer is over paying or the seller is losing out. How do you all navigate shipping costs when valuing your comics? |

Do you guys recomend having our books graded? I'm sceptical about the time and cost of having this done. Some say it takes up to 7 months and you really have no garentiee of what the grade will come back as. Do you guys have a base value that you use as a guide before considering having it graded? |

KDS,
Thank you for the suggestions. i will definitely check those out. My rule of thumb is to take what the seller has graded it at, drop it one level and minus the shipping cost. with some look that will help me to not over pay. I have seen on Ebay issues priced 2 or 3 times the values listed on this site. especially for graded comics.
Given that i'm mostly interested in older books, in order to afford them i am looking at the lower grades. and that in its self make me uneasy because its really hard to tell how bad a shape it is in until you have it in hand. one of the comics has a spine tear. but i'm hoping it will grade at around 3 in order to keep my purchase price in line. |

well looks like my most valuable book is Marvel Super-Heros issue 12. looks like its valued at around $400 raw. and then i have a handful worth $150-$200. i plan on keeping them all long term, having never sent anything away to be graded I'm very nervous about the process, the time and the cost involved as quite frankly it doesn't seem that straight forward. there is a comic book store near by that is CGC affiliated, but i have heard they have issues with how they encapsulate a comic. |
