    Folks,

    I'm looking for some advice.  I have a family emergency and I need to sell my Walking Dead collection asap.  I'm not looking for top dollar but I will not give it away. I'm thinking close to GPA prices for the entire set is reasonable.  Can anyone advise me the best way to do this?  Putting them up for auction probably won't work because it will take to long and I don't see the collection selling here.  Would EBAY be the way to go?  I rarely purchase anything from EBAY so I have no idea if this would generate any interest.  Does anyone know anyone that would be interested in this?  Any help would be appreciated.

    The collection I have is every regular issue of the Walking Dead in CGC 9.8  blue universal condition (#1 - #171).  I only have the regular issue/cover.  I do not have any 2nd prints, varient or convention covers.  Issue #1 is a black label copy.  90% of the issues were purchased from members on this board.  I'm looking for someone who will take the entire set.

    Hi Ray,

    In my experience, you'll need to break this collection up into singles to sell them at the highest price. I am a buyer, and use eBay often to build up my collection. It has always worked well for me, but I'm almost always a buyer (very little selling experience - non-payment? late-payment?). As a seller, you can choose 1, 3, 5, 7 or 10 day-length auctions so you could sell quite quickly there. 

    I'd be pleased to hear from you if you had some of these you wished to sell, and I could provide my 'wanted' list. According to the CGC Registry, I already have 41% of these, so cannot consider taking them all.

    To summarise, it is the same was as selling beer or tinned tomatoes - the buyer always gets a discount when they buy a four-pack (or a 171-pack) instead of singles.

    Good luck!

    Regards

    Stephen

    This, and selling here on the boards individually I think would be your best bet as there are no fees.
