FACT 1 about selling collectable comics
Posted on October 3rd, 2009 by adminFact #1 — The brutal truth: Most people settle for pennies when selling their comic books when they could be getting dollars. Big dollars. That new comic that you just bought from a comic shop for $2.99 (cover price) drops in value to 10 cents, the minute you leave the shop.
To get any comic dealer to buy just about any comic book published before 1980, means that you’re going to have accept a price that will allow that dealer to put them in their 3 for $1 boxes. And that price is a dime…10 cents, no more.
And if you are trying to sell comics on eBay, good luck! You’re going to find out in a New York minute that just about everybody there wants a steal. And if you don’t know what you’re doing, you’ll get low ball offers or no bidders at all for your comics….all of which is a big waste of time. I know plenty of comic sellers who’ve had to settle for getting $5 on eBay for a comic worth well over $100.00, because they didn’t handle their eBay auction right. In fact, it happens just about every day. I know this sounds brutal, but that’s the truth.
