Considering the cost of commercial pressing and the cost of buying a heat press to do it yourself, it almost seems silly not to just spend a few days to research about doing it yourself and buying the materials necessary. There are plenty of online (video) resources to dumb down the process, so it's hard to mess up as long as you copy someone 1:1 for the procedure and parts, and practice on low value/reader comics first.

I just go “old school”…

What he said. And if you have to sell at a loss, don't beat yourself up over it. Everyone does it, no one ever talks about it.

Kind of like buying a new car, no? You pay a fortune for it, down the road you sell at a loss. We can't expect a gain for everything we buy. (shrug)

The only materialistic objects in life that do not depreciate in value are collector's items, or random trinkets that retain their value indefinitely but are also difficult to sell.

Everything else, expect to lose your initial investment by at least a little.
