Trying to sell comic books?

I recently inherited over 3,200 comic books of various titles. I have no room for them and I am planning on selling them. I have looked up all there values, if theyre not certified, and have an idea how much theyre worth. I also want to sell them all at once if its possible. They are all in near mint condition and in hard plastic cases. Ive checked with my local comic book stores but it seems complicated. Ive also tried craigslist. I know Ill have to sell them for less if its all together but am willing to do so. I made an inventory of them as well. What is the best and most lucrative way to sell them quickly? Any help would be great

Update:

please read my post, simply saying ebay or keep trying isnt helping. There are over 3000, it would take way too long to sell them on ebay, this isnt my full time job.

    If you have already looked up their values and taken inventory of them, you have already done most of the hard work. If you sell them as a lot on eBay, it shouldn't take too much time, but you are right in that you will get much less for them. Craigslist is probably not the best way to go, especially if some of the comics are actually valuable. People on Craigslist are looking for comics for very cheap. A comic book store is going to probably be the most profitible way to go, unless you can find a direct buyer, as they will give you closest to a fair deal on them. But you are right, it will be somewhat complicated. If they are helpful, you should be able to give them an inventory list and have them make you an estimate and come back later to decide if you want to do that. Conventions are also an option as there will be numerous stores/buyers from around your area all in one place. This will mean however likely hauling all the comics there and having several people look through them. Also, convention season is quickly coming to a close. I would make one good posting with your asking price and list of comics so that you can quickly hand it out to shops or post on sites. There are some websites that buy comics, such as Webuycomics.com But I have never tried these and can't personally recommend them.

    Also, you will probably get more respones if you post in the comics and animation catagory under Entertainment.

    The first-class solution to move might be to promote the older ones on eBay, and to cost them in step with last expenses on earlier auctions. As a long way because the more moderen ones (New Mutants, West Coast Avengers, Nova), you'll attempt to promote them as plenty on eBay, or simply reduce your losses and check out the ones ones at a comedian retailer. Just out of interest, what form of stuff are we speaking approximately?
