dupont2005 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 I’m not selling the comics unless I have to for one reason or another. I’ll leave a note for my family to come here and ask which ones are junk and which ones aren’t if I pass away.

No fun selling off all your favorite things to prepare for your death In the next couple of years I have three traveling goals. An extended road trip crisscrossing the country An extended vacation of six to nine months in Central America The Path of Saint James. Having an extensive collection hinders those things. That's one reason I'm downsizing. Hollywood1892 and Ken Aldred 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastballspecial Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 My personal collection was converted into mutual funds when my children were young and has served them both well. They can completely cover their education if they choose to be fiscal if not then the rest is on them. Now I just sell for fun and occasionally to my IRAs.

RockMyAmadeus Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 On 5/17/2019 at 7:54 AM, Black_Adam said: In true Willy Wonka-esque fashion I will hold a mysterious 3-day sale on the boards with an assortment of breathtaking Bronze Age Gold Key comics priced at a princely $5 per comic with each (established) boardie only allowed to purchase one comic. There will be a total of 33 comics and inside one of them will be hidden a glorious Golden Ticket with the lucky recipient inheriting my legendary and (near) priceless comic collection. wait...who are the 33 established board members going to be?

The 33 comics will appear at random intervals over 3 days. The first boardie to hit will receive the comic and a chance at the Golden Ticket, with no boardie allowed to claim more than one of the comics. The reason I said established boardies only was to stop the inevitable frenzy of new accounts as everyone clamored to claim one (or more) of the comics potentially containing the fabled Golden Ticket. Now I just have to come up with a criteria for determining what makes a boardie established. WolverineX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tv horror Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 While reading this thread it got me thinking (at least for a minute or so) some of the members have mentioned online auctions and such and I was wondering if there was any UK auction houses?

ninanina Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 If I'm well enough in 10 years, I may sell the collection slowly over time. (We are talking about 18,000 comics)...so may take awhile. However, I told my wife if it's still here when I'm gone, she can do whatever she wants with the collection. She already knows what she's going to do with it, and won't tell me. What I do know is she plans on selling the house, moving into an apartment and won't have the collection when she's ready to move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
