I'm selling my comics/trades on eBay!

[Pride of Brandon]

I've got a ton of old books that I want to get rid of. I have like 5 years of Batman books, tons of random mini-series and runs, plus the first 30 Issues of Giffen's Justice League(which I might go back and read now.)

I've sold books on eBay before but just like 4-6 issues here and there. Has anybody had success selling alot of books (that aren't really worth alot of money) on eBay?

Or am I better off just taking them down to by local shop and getting maybe a quarter of their worth in store credit?

It's been a few months, but I've sold a lot of stuff on eBay before. It's kind of hit or miss. You're not going to get a whole lot for back issues. I've been selling back issues to my lcs lately.

A number of folks on this forum have mentioned from time to time that they have sold their floppies on eBay. I'd like to know more about how that's done. I've never sold anything on eBay. It's a whole new world to me. Could some of you walk me through it. How do you decide what to charge? Do you sell individual issues? Do you bundle several together at a time? Sell by the box? Do you recoup the money you originally spent on the comics? Do you actually make money?

The reason I'm interested in this is because a friend of mine and I are interested in selling comics in order to finance other comic purchases for our collections. We have a couple of avenues where we can buy someone else's collections so that we have inventory to start with. We aren't looking to make money per se - just finance our comic addictions for Silver and Bronze age additions.

Would appreciate the sharing of any thoughts or personal experiences.

I'm almost certain that there's a thread devoted to this just waiting to be dragged back to life.

But this is a fun stand alone IMO so someone can enjoy it.

Oh boy does that Outsiders sound appealing.

fix'd!

I was going to sell the last 3-4 issues of the Outsiders series, but since it's the Checkmate crossover, I decided to stay greedy and keep those issues. :P
