This isn't about us....

This is about providing proper advice...I understand the intent, but rather then even saying "unlikely" you could have just offered the places to look

I did:

Question: "What would be the fastest and best way to offload this?"

Answer: "Either a lot on eBay, as revat mentions, or possible MCS (MyComicShop). Being from the 80's, there's unlikely to be any gems, but there still could be some stuff worth more than cover price."

I was referring to the fact that you seemed to have missed where she said 1988.

I also don't see a problem with what Goat said and feel your comment was only made to goad the Goat.

I just wouldn't tell a person their collection is 'unlikely' to have any gems

I would have given them the advice of what places they could use to sell or determine the value of their collection and left it at that

That's where I found confusion, and things were explained to me

If you backpedal any faster we'll go back in time! 

How am I back pedaling?

Hi, My husband and I just found his stash in a plastic bin that we have moved around every time we bought a house. I just started to look through it and there might be some that are valuable to collectors. Obviously completely clueless here, he said his roomate was into collecting and he just tagged along with him buying some pieces. These are all 1988 and everything from Spiderman to Superman and Batman. I am not even sure where to start. I have looked on ebay but prices are all over the place depending on condition. It's just too overwhelming to be honest. What would be the fastest and best way to offload this? Are there any collectors here that would be interested? I can send really good iphone photos w natural light but not going to go through the trouble of grading it and sending it in. It might be a good opportunity to collaborate with some of you who are a lot more knowledgeable than me.

Lay them out and take a big picture, then take a few pictures of smaller groupings.  Post the whole lot on an eBay auction.  

 

My original advice still stands.  That’s the fastest way to get close to a fair price, but it may depend on how many comics there actually are.

someone else mentioned a group pic posted here to get more specific advice.  That might be good too
