Hi All,
I am curious how successful people have been selling their books on CPG? This is a serious non-sarcastic question. I have nearly 10K books that I am in the process of documenting and then plan to start selling off. Mainly 80's and 90's and some 2000's. All are RAW and none have been graded. Most of them I would classify as 8.5 to 9.0 or and few that might be better. I'm considering taking some of my KEYS and getting those graded.
Any thoughts on how well people sell on this site?
- John

John,
If you are entering the books with the grade, it's very easy to sell them here. One button. Fill in the price and shipping and you're done.
Your success is based on the number of books listed, price and their desirability. We've had people say that they live off the money they get from CPG sales. One comic shop in Phoenix started here first and then opened a storefront. The amount of money that will go directly into your pocket versus eBay really adds up. Give it a try, you have nothing to lose.

Dal1283,
no listing fees
no selling fees
Yes, it's a sale between you and the buyer. However we have stepped in to help resolve problems before.
Paypal is our recommended way.
$5 is normal shipping for raw books

Steve,
Based on my experience, that is in the ballpark. There is a lot of work involved in selling comics and that person needs to make some money. I would say anything from 40% to 60% is in range. If the collection is high grade, highly desirable, the % goes up. I hope that helps you.
