Finally liberating yourself from your old comic books? Then it must have been one of the greatest decisions you have ever made in your entire life.
Why Sell Your Comic Book Collection?
Your comic books have been with you for quite some time now (possibly 6 months or even 20 years); it must be really hard to part with them. However, your personal collection is now slowly taking over not just your life but also your room, and this is precisely why you should decide to sell them. You may have your reasons why you should not sell your precious collectibles, but listed below are other reasons why you should do so:
- Make money. If your local bookstore is in dire need of a rare copy that is luckily in your collection, then you can trade it for a respectable amount of money. The price that you may get for each comic book may be lower than that of its original price but if you have a bunch to sell, then you can also still earn a bundle.
- Set your room free. What you’re really collecting with that great number of comic books are dust. Now is the time for you to allot space for more important things.
- Buy new comic books. Face it — you have already read these comic books and it won’t do you any good to keep them in the shelf while waiting for their pages to turn yellow. The money you will gain from selling your old copies will help you buy new ones that will complete your other series.
Where Can I Sell My Comic Book Collection?
Selling your comic books online is unquestionably a great risk. You may not be paid for your goods; there are a lot of scammers everywhere. Also, your goods may be damaged along the way, especially during delivery, which will destroy your reputation to potential buyers. Lastly, it is very tedious to describe their exact conditions when you can just let the buyers see your comic books for themselves.
The best place to sell your comic book collection is to the local specialty businesses in your area or your local comic shop. Comic book enthusiasts come and go to nearby local bookstores to search the copies they are looking for like Sandman, the Invisibles, Hellblazer, and Walking Dead. Hence, it is easier for you to sell your collection because the shop owners might know potential buyers, and they are well aware of the demand and value of your collectibles. Moreover, you can avoid online scammers and extra shipping fee. You can also get the money right away if you have to sell them in a hurry.
How to Sell Your Comic Book Collection
The price that you can best negotiate for your comic books not only depend on their rarity but also on their present condition. Thus, before presenting your collection, it is advisable to put them in clear, neat bags to show that you seriously cared for every copy. Also, it would be advantageous to ask various shops for their offer to know the highest bidder.
