Tnexus Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I always value my comics at 15% less than the "Sold" value. Assume the worst if you try to flip them and you're paying 13% in Ebay/Paypal fees. Then I always tack on 2% for packing costs, transportation, etc. It gives me a much more realistic number if it's something worth investing in. Even if you sell something for $100, you'll never actually get $100 unless it's straight cash. Also technically you need to pay taxes on anything you sold too, so that can be another 28%(?).

Hopefully I'll never have to sell them. I'd like to pass them down to my daughter...shes 13 and is really beginning to enjoy reading my comics. I'm not looking to cash out...im just happy to get what I did before the prices went nuts. SECollector 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the right forum online to do it in, since it's all comic based. We don't have to rain on this person's parade. At least they didn't a) complain on their books not being received b) complain on wait time increases for their cards c) ask if their CGC case is fake d) ask if their 9.8 was really a 9.8 e) ask why CCS didn't press their book when they selected screening instead of pressing oakman29 and MetalPSI 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Taxes are on your profit. So, yes, maybe 28% on everything net of fees if you fished your $1000 book out of the 65 cent box (like my NYX 3 and LOS 23 variant). Although Shadroch would be able to come up with $788 worth of legit other deductions, so you'd only be paying taxes on about $60.
