Take 1 tablet by mouth daily.
The first post in the questions thread says:

"Also, go ahead and feel free to ask "What is my collection of comics worth?" but there are really only two answers:
1) Only what someone is willing to pay for it.
2) Not much. Probably less than 50 cents each. "

I'm pretty much in the same boat, big box of probably worthless comics. So far what I have figured out is:

- if I should bother with ebay, never used it before

Check eBay for copies that actually sold to determine a rough price. Not sure how the seller experience is.

- if a comic store pay me a fair price

Hahahaha no, if they take any of them at all.

- if a consignment store might sell them for me

Might work but would probably take forever and greatly decrease your profits.

- if I should sell piece by piece or as a big collection

Once you've priced them out IF you're lucky you'll have one or two that MIGHT be worth the extra hassle to sell individually.


My plan is to price mine out, value them around 1/2-2/3rds of that, toss them up in SA-Mart with a minimum order of 30bux or so so I can cover decent shipping, and hope someone bites on at least some of them. I did a quick sampling of what I have and i'm guessing most of them are worth like maybe 50 cents each? Subtract time and effort and shipping costs and you might make a few dollars if you're lucky.
