If slabs have some decent value, I don't mind all the labor that goes into selling them - here or at an auction house.
Valuing my time (and sanity) as my slab collection continues to grow I'm curious what others have done. If you had a couple hundred cheap slabs you wanted to sell - say $50-$200 retail each would you pack them all up and send to ComicLink for them to list for 10% or would you do it yourself and list on eBay for them to take 10%? On the surface, CLINK seems like a much better deal for the seller - no labor - same money (in theory). The problem is there is no sales data, so I can't tell if cheapies pull in as much on CLINK as eBay. I'm sure the market is smaller, but would a book that goes for $100 on eBay also go for $100 on CLINK? I'm talking mainly bronze/copper superhero stuff.
Has anyone already experimented with such a project? If so, results? I'm sure answer is 'it depends' - but I'm thinking in aggregate here. Let's say overall you are confident the lot would pull in $20k on eBay, I'm sure some individual books will go for more on CLINK, others less, but in aggregate, do you feel you would end up near the same place ($20k)?
