If you had Daredevil 20-105 complete, how would you sell it?

[nearmint]

Besides the 86 consecutive issues, there are annuals and King-Size issues. Would you sell them as one set, or break them up into sets of ten? Sets of a different quantity?

 

Any thoughts?

[divad]

It depends if you want a career . . .

 

Any and all high grade books should be sold individually

 

From a selling standpoint, it never makes any sense to sell in lots unless the books are all less than VF. Most collectors are only trying to fill holes anyway.

[uclapeterg]

I respectfully disagree. If he sells all the high grade issues, then what does he have left? You may get less seling them as a set, but sometimes, you might get a premium.

[nearmint]

If I remember correctly, there are a number of 8.5s and 9.0s in the later issues, but I don't think there are any 9.4s or better.

Is that a trick question? He has all of the others left, and money in his pocket. The remaining lot will just as easily sell as a lot, and probably for just as much.

Emphasis on sometimes

8.5's under #100 are quite desirable. Most collectors are quite happy with a collection of true 8.0's - I know I am.

 

And there aren't many key issues through that run . . . (#27, 43, 45, and the one which retells DD's origin, 52&53-B.Smith?) but a lot of great Gene Colan work!

I would sell them all, individually (with the exception of books that were so low grade they guided out at around $3 or $4. Those I would batch, because you might have a hard time getting even $2 for them on eBay- although stranger things have happened.) I would also try to list them as close as possible together to allow for people to buy multiples.

[Timulty]

My experience with selling whole runs, at least moderns, is that you are probably better off taking out the best issues and breaking the rest in lots. Seems to maximize profit better than selling the whole thing at once.

[Flaming_Telepath]

Very cheaply.

 

To me.

[Sal]

i would put them in a blurb in my signature line, and hope wait for someone to take the bait

[nearmint]

They've actually been in my signature line for quite some time.

ever since i've been here, prolly longer

[nearmint]

Then it's definitely time to sell!

That's how I would do it as well.

[nearmint]

Sounds good. Thanks, everyone. I'll probably list them sometime next week.

[That Ron Dude]

I have sold a lot of stuff on Ebay but I have never dealt with the sort of situation you have. After you put them up, would you please let us know how the sales went? One day, I may have a similiar problem myself.

[nearmint]

Haven't decided yet if I'm going to list them individually on eBay, or on my own site. If I choose eBay, I'll probably wait until January. I hear January is better than December for selling on eBay.

Based on the description you have in your website, I would list them on eBay as a lot, with alot of scans and a good write up of the description of the individual lots. Start the opening bid around 400ish. I think you might do ok like that. I used to buy sets all them time for bronze stuff. (DC)
