best way to move a fair number of comics, at a reasonable price
It has come to that point when I have reached 20 long boxes and it may be time to thin things out a bit, and then use the proceeds to buy graded issues, keys etc. Most of the stuff is modern issues from the last 25 years, with a bit of other things. Most books are in the Batman and X-Men families.
I do not expect to get rich, I am willing to do some work to get rid of the issues. I know most LCS' would very much low ball me on most of these books (I am well aware most are $1 to $5 books)
It seems I remembered the details incorrectly of my buddy's '200 longboxes'-here's what he said to my recent query:
I bought 150 longboxes for 500. Spent 2000 on labor going through the boxes. Putting them a-z. Trying to sell them. And settled for 2000 cash after I sold maybe 500 worth in store. It was a terrible deal I would not do again.
So about a penny a book he bought em for and after sorting costs-sold em for
A penny a book was a terrible deal for him
