That is just one of the items you are currently persuing ... hmm ... me thinks your attempts to convince us that you are leaving are in vain

Burntcougar?

Great, just great... I think I preferred things when you had to lock up your finances in collection-form, rather than churning and leveraging the market.

Anyhow; I presumed you already did some reselling, no?
Otherwise would be difficult to explain all those multiple copies...

Looking forward to developments: am sure you'll keep us posted!

d.

So how much will you want for your collection (ball park figure) ??

Howdy Shawn and Devon,

Why in the heck do you want to sell your collection?

I agree with the above sentiments burnie. . . . that's my point about comic collecting.  Why sell?  Someday you're just gonna want to buy it all over again.

Regarding comics. . . Silver Age comics (1960's) sell well, but unless they are high grade CGC, you gotta figure that you are only going to get 50% of guide value (at most).  Still, it's better than the 25% that your local shop owner is likely to offer.

Bronze sells okay (1970's) with the same guidelines.  

With a few exceptions, you are going to have to sell 80's and 90's comics in lots.  I filled massive holes in my collection (when I took about a decade off), by buying huge lots for almost nothing.  i.e. forty Incredible Hulks for $8.50, Thirty Daredevils for $9.99, etc.  (You can usually do this with Bronze Age as well).

This grows annoying. A guy with 14 feedback from the UK who's never bid on a D&D item throws that much at a module? I smell shill. I think I'm off this one.

Smells SHITTY. I withdrew my snipe. WAY too shady. There will be another. Maybe I can Huck it..............

Great praise indeed.  But I hope you are far more successful than me.

I'm shaving off about 1/2 of my collection as well. Mostly the Basic/Expert/Immortal stuff, a ton of multiple printing modules, boxed sets, etc. Drop me an e-mail and I'd be happy to send the list before it gets eBayed.
