Hello all,
Let me just start with a little background on myself. I have been in the tcg/card game industry since I was a kid. Still huge into it, buying and selling card games, traveling all over the country, it’s great. I used to be into comics when I was a kid when I started working my 1st job in our local hobby store in my hometown when I was 15. Overtime I stuck with the cards and toys and kind of moved away from comics but now am getting back into it. I am lucky enough to know a lot of great people and I travel across the country for work. I have been wanting to get back into selling comics so have bought huge collections from people and places. My living room is full of about 50 long boxes of stuff right now that I am still going through.
The big thing with all that is that I have great access. I go to lots of conventions from smaller conventions to sdcc and nycc. I have lots of people sell me stuff all the time. I also travel across the country and stop at small local comic shops and stores. Again, what I have is access and I am trying to find the best way to use it.
I have been selling some comics on ebay right now ( http://stores.ebay.com/Keys-to-the-Kingdom/ ) and posting my books on this site for sale but have not really got any action on any books I have. I sent tons of messages to people who said they were looking for the book I have but have gotten very few messages back. I also have vended at a one comic book convention recently so far and loved it.
But I have so much stuff I am a bit overwhelmed. I have some key issue stuff, lots of variants, and then lots of newer type books right now ( Rebirth and New 52 ) On to the questions 😊
• What is the best way to sell comic books online?
• Do people like watching haul or collection videos?
• Would people care to buy $1 books from a large list that I post?
• Would people care to buy more expensive books from a large list that I Post?
• Would people care to submit a list of books that they need (normal, variant, or holy grails) to me for when I come across them?
• Are people on here looking for hard to find toys, rare video games, funko pops?
• Would people on here like random bulk type lots of newer comics (not the 90’s crap, 2000 or higher) ?
• Are full runs worth putting together? Or sell key issues and bulk the rest?
• Would people like to see reviews on comic book stores across the country? (stuff like if they have back issues, newer issues, vintage, how is their pricing, do they carry other non comic stuff like funko or games.)
• Would people like to have a connection with their online dealer to find their wants or is ebay just easier?
Overall looking to find any insight on what people are looking for in a smaller more personal online comic store. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Also if you have any questions for me please feel free to ask.
Thank you all for taking the time to read this
