What's the best time to sell a collection?

[sportmaniac-migration]

I have a nice collection of comic books from the 70's that I am interested in selling. Most of the comics were purchased off of the newstand when I was a kid. I am considering Ebay. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Whenever I'm NOT selling...........

Welcome to the boards.

 

How were you thinking of selling it?

[sportmaniac-migration]

Thanks, I was thinking of complete sets maybe?

Maybe you could try posting a list in the Marketplace forum here, preferably with grades. You may have some success.

Thanks, will do

I'd also recommend checking out the Silver and Bronze Age Forums, not to mention the Grading Forum, if you've been out of the loop for a bit and want to catch up on market trends, especially the changes in grading. This is the best place for such info on the net.

What kind of titles do you have?

I was more wondering if you were going to sell on Ebay, a con, LCS, or whatever.

If you have high grade books from the 70s it's best if you sell them in singles.

I assume you have main stream titles like ASM and X-men and Hulk etc...

 

We need to know what you have and in what grade before any useful advice can be given.

 

Selling a bunch of VG Superman comics from the 70s is different than selling VF-NM ASM comics from the 70s.

A good time to sell a collection is after you've been here awhile....not before. If you do stick around for about a year or so, you'll know what I mean after the year is up.

 

Welcome....hope you stay awhile.

And when your collecting focus shifts
