Or Can I sell my Comic Books?

 

OK, when I say sell my comic books I mean, my collection. Yes I did sell a bunch in a purge but could I sell them off piece by piece so I can buy other things I want. Let's pretend space isn't as big as an issue as it really is. I've had a few books up on eBay from time to time and most recently I had someone ask about if I was going to put them back up. I plan too, but after the holidays. One of the books is a prized jewel. But, I hope to use that money to buy a better looking book.

 

There are a few books I won't get rid of. My New Mutants #15 in a 4.5, My ASM #129 currently in a 9.6 with two signatures, and my Daredevil #168 in a 9.2. That Daredevil is more symbolic than anything else. It was one of the first comic books I ever bought as a back issue that started to stretch my budget. The Longshot Limited series cost a bit, but issue 168 was the first book that I purchased over $30. The final tally was $35. The book was also purchased at my first LCS. The funny thing is I bought many Caspers' and Richie rich books there on the three for a dollar rack before I bought my New Mutants #15 at the 7-11.

 

There are a few other books I thought that I wouldn't sell but seem more able to release my hold on others I never thought I would sell. Seriously, who would have thought I would have acquired a 9.8 signature series of X-Men #109 and just decide to sell it. It currently is still the only one. For that reason and that reason alone I should keep it, but I only got it to get the Hulk #109 at a cheaper price, and now I'm thinking, I might be able to sell that too, if I can get the book I want.

 

Thank for Reading

I too feel the pull of wanting to sell or wanting to keep. When I sell them, two weeks later the cash is gone and im wondering what the hell did i do?

When I keep them I wonder if I should have sold them because i could have cash in pocket. You really cant win. From now on just buy 5 copies of every comic you buy :)
