Where is the best place to sell old comic books?

Question

I am trying to get all my spring house cleaning done before winter.  I am throwing out a lot of stuff I no longer have any use for anymore.

Really old magazines I am just tossing because what was news or state-of-the-art when I bought them, just is not anymore.

I have scores of comic books from the 1980s and early 1990s.  I used to enjoy reading and looking at them but I have outgrown them at this point.

I stopped buying comic books a couple years before the web was born.  Are there special sites for selling used comics, or do people sell them on craigslist.org, or is the best bet to look for a comic book collector/sales store in my region and drive them all there?

I would like to get a decent price on my stuff.  If I can get original book value on a decent number that would be awesome, like if they have appreciated or held their value.  If some are only worth 20% that is okay. Might not be worth shipping price for less than that.

Advice from any comic book buyers/sellers?

Al · Accepted Answer

I have a large collection as well. I've checked all the auction sites and have determined that people only use those when they don't want to pay anything. And, since most charge fees to list, it wouldn't do if you were selling a lot of comics.

I would check the comic book stores in your local area. If you have a good collection, they might make a decent offer.

Comic book stores will give you a good appraisal of your collection; Ebay's the way to go, though it will take a LOT longer, especially if you sell them singularly instead of blocks.  Good luck!

The easiest and probably best way to go about selling them would be to research their value then list them on ebay at a set price.
