I suspect most would tell you to look at "completed sales" on eBay for each book in the approximate condition you or your friend believe the books to be.  You could also look at GPA but that takes a subscription.  It really depends on how much time and effort you/your friend want to invest in determining the value.  Once you've done that, you'll have a sense of which books are valuable and which aren't.  If help is needed on condition you can use the "Brother, Can You Spare a Grade" section, but I'd limit that to books you know might be more valuable.  The books could then be grouped as a lot (if they aren't very valuable) or sold individually (if they are).  Lots of venues for selling - including here on the Boards, MyComicShop, etc.  Doesn't look like you have a Thor #238 which is the most coveted issue in all comicdom because I have a letter to the editor published in there.

Good luck!

Lol. I will tell him to track down the Thor #238. Yeah I think he wants to sell it as a lot. No real keys aside from the What if Jane Austin issue. Just need to find someone that really wants a ton of Thor books...

Unless you get really lucky, you'll get pennies on the dollar for that lot. You need to find a Thor fan, with money, who has almost no Thor books. That's not much of a subsection of today's market.

Thor 279 is not a huge key, but sells well because of the bondage cover.

[GeeksAreMyPeeps]

It doesn't hurt that there are a lot of Newsstand issues there as well. It might help to break out each group (i.e. sell all Essentials together, all of Volume 1 together, etc.). It's a little bit more work, and might result in a higher total overall, because not everyone is willing to spend on each category.
