I have (VERY) old Transformers comics and I want to sell. Need some help putting a value on the entire set.?

So I bought all the original Transformers comics back in the early 80's when they were first marketed. I have issues #1 through #62 (plus GI Joe vs. The Transformers #1 thru #4), all have been stored in a cool, dry, dark place for the last 25 years, and all have been stored in plastic liners with cardboard backings. I'd say that every single one except for issue #3 is in near mint (or possibly mint) condition. #3 is siginificant because it guest starred Spiderman from his Venom suit days. On that issue, the center page has come off the lower staple, but other than that it's perfect.

According to ebay, CGC rated Transformers #1 can go for about $200 just by itself. Mine are NOT CGC rated, and I'd rather not have to deal with that, but I do want to offload the entire lot in one big shot.

I'm aware that I won't get the same amount of money as if I sold them one at a time, but I still should be able to get a respectable amount of money, right? What do you think would be a good asking price for everything I described. I'm thinking that $1,000 should be a good place to start, and I'm hoping that someone with some experience in this matter can tell me if I'm in the ballpark or if I'm totally out of my mind. If I'm way off, then can you also suggest what I should be asking?

Many thanks!!!

Update:

Yes, I'm starting to find stuff on the web that is making me think that $1,000 is too high. I'm revising my estimate down to about $600. Care to comment on THAT asking price?

    I'm not trying to be rude, but you're not going to be able to unload those for even close to $1000. If you want you can contact me on the bottom of my website. I can put some numbers together and get back with you.
