Selling vintage comics?

[Collimator]

1. I sold some of mine to a local shop.

You might be able to find one in your area.

My situation was pretty grim when I sold my first box and I'm sure my desperation seeped out of me and because of that, I didn't get that much money.

When I sold my second box, I did better. I remained impassive while the guy riffled through the issues. I knew that he really wanted some of them and I didn't let my neediness show. He offered me a better price for the second box.

If you have an idea of how much they are worth, that's great. If you could get a friend who is trustworthy and can remain dispassionate throughout the negotiation process, that might be a way be a way to avoid my mistake of looking too eager. Or, if you're lucky you are just a cooler character than I am.

Even though I didn't do all that great money-wise, I remind myself that my comic books, "Weren't getting any fresher." I thought that mine were in good condition, but I wasn't able to put any resources into keeping them preserved into the future, and I couldn't go back in time to put them in protective sleeves to ensure they were in specified, "excellent condition". So, I tell myself that it's good that I sold them when I did.

I wish you luck in your efforts. And I was a "DC girl" myself.
