1/23/2020 Topic: Selling my comics ipfnd	I have a collection of apparoximately 2100+ comics (98% Marvel 70"s & 80's) and would like to sell them. I sent a list to a comic book store who said my collection is worth about $10,000. This website says its worth $40,000. I realize its not actually worth 40 as I didn't grade them and just called all mint. So the store is offering me $4,000-$6,000. All books are in bags with backing boards. Should I sell them on this site? I understand his reasoning for giving me 50% of what he says is the value but is the value given on this site accurate. Sorry for the long question
1/23/2020 Topic: Bulk Edit grading? ipfnd	I realize this does't make sense but is there a way bulk edit the grades of comics if you were looking to get a general idea of the value of your collection?

I looked at the books you have in the system, you have some books that are extremely desirable for collectors. Daredevil 1 and 2 issues of the ASM 129 could potentially be worth $4000 depending on grade. I get weekly questions from people selling their collection. My answer is always the same. You have to balance work, time and money. The more work and time you put in, the more money you will get out. The quickest approach to selling will usually get you the lowest dollar amount. If your time is cheap then sell them yourself. If your time is in short supply sell them as a lot. Ron Ron, Thank you for the excellent advice

2/7/2020 Topic: Generic Comic selling Question ipfnd	So I apologize if this question has been beaten down over the years.... I'm in the process of selling my collection of 2,100 +/- 99% Marvel comics and I have them all in a spreadsheet. So based on values from CPG I have an idea of which ones may be worth some serious money. Obviously I am going to some graded but my question is should only grade the ones that I project to have a certain value and if so what would you recomend? Thank you for any thoughts you may have.

2/9/2020 Topic: Generic Comic selling Question ipfnd	Thank you!! Imcubillo wrote: I would think that you grade the ones that make sense from a monetary standpoint. The whole pressing and grading process will be about $30 something per book plus shipping. So in my opinion you take that into account. If you have a $100 raw book and yours is in what appears to be prestige shape that when rated it becomes a $500 book then monetary the $30 bucks makes sense. Same thing for older golden age books that may be in lower grades. Start with your big boy money books and work your way down,

You can save on shipping by going to a convention that has CGC or CBCS attending but then you have the cost of the show.
