My problem is I have every prog since 1990 in my attic and want to shift them all. Any ideas? I don't think eBay is a goer as there are around 1500 progs, so they'd need to go in large, extremely heavy bundles. I haven't checked but I guess 1208 is in there.

Kev Levell of these pastures has a thread detailing his selling of his collection and you might get some ideas there

https://forums.2000ad.com/index.php?topic=47466.0

I couldn't get any interest in the whole collection at an acceptable figure.
I was a bit cranky about it though, so may have put the odd person off, irrespective of that, I honestly don't think I would have got anywhere close to what I think it was worth... and don't anticipate that even selling as chunks/bundles.
Unfortunately it really has to be chunks/bundles too. I'm realising they need to be buyer friendly as well. I think the places to sell are facebook tat, facebook 77 and here.
The progs aren't going to appeal to dealers, the offers I had were pretty much for the first hundred only. One dealer actually laughed and then said "no, I really don't want them".
I think you might have a wider audience with ebay, but the risk is higher IMO.
I've met a couple of really nice real fans and dealt with a few too... it's not all plain sailing though and it's a lot of work getting the postage costs right, weight and volume are tricksy and at the prices I'm selling at there's not much meat on the bone to absorb any discrepancy.

It's all now going in little dribs and drabs...
An update on what's sold, I've made a couple of additions and also some alterations and a few reductions. Please DM for a quote on postage costs.
Apologies if I've failed to reply to an offer.

You can go through ebay but it still needs collection.

I have now decided to split up my 2000ad collection.

It's just about complete up to about April 2017. I just don't have the space to keep it anymore. It's all packed into heavy duty 35L Really Useful Boxes as shown.

General note on condition:
Some issues are bagged, a handful are boarded too. Some are in fair condition, most are very much readable, some of the earliest ones are perhaps a little tired, but as far as I recall none are truly terrible, there are newsagent marks, cut-out coupons, there might be a bit of water damage, mildew or mould on some of them too... but I think I've allowed for that in my prices.

There are a few pics of the collection and the early issues in my flickr stream for anyone who is interested.
Price for everything is £2900 just in case anyone actually was interested in the bulk. Otherwise, I'm willing to split it up as follows.
PROGS:
1 - £90 ono - missing spinner (mould spots)
2 - £75 ono -no biotronic stickers (mould spots)
3 - £90 ono - with red alert wallet (damage to prog - loose/removed pages & mould spots)

I'm located in Cambridge city, buyers will need to collect as I am without access to transport most of the time, cash (or paypal will be required as f&f) on pick-up please.

Please DM me with offers or requests. If you require individual issues, sorry, but tough, these bundles are priced extremely reasonably IMO and I'm looking to shift everything as quick as I can! I might consider the odd nicely worded offer, but I will ignore pi$$-takers.
FWIW I'm willing to send Progs 1-10 within the UK via special delivery at your cost (+fees and probably a +15% hassle insurance charge unless you're happy to trust me as f&f). I might be prepared to send the bundles of 10 too, and I'm happy to photograph and double check issues. Beware, though, if on receipt you quibble about the quality of what is essentially a comic printed on bog paper, that's on you, sorry - early 2000ad is shite quality, we all know it... if you want top quality guaranteed, you know where to find that.
The bigger bundles will need collection, I won't even entertain the possibility of Hermes on this - sorry.
I've sold stuff on ebay and on various groups and before the 'C' word, I was a five star seller: https://www.ebay.co.uk/fdbk/feedback_profile/legospod
Hopefully anyone who's dealt with me can vouch for my character.
I'm not looking to rip anyone off, it's gutting to be selling my collection and the realisation that it's monetary worth is way, way below what it should be, so go gently please.

Thanks PJ. I'm taking pics and stuff right now, I'm gonna split it up I think... just been looking at the earlier progs actually, some of them aren't in the most amazing condition to be fair. Still probably worth a look for someone though.
When I update, I'd be really grateful if you tweeted - it would be much appreciated ;-).
Cheers.

Okay, I've done a bit more looking about and going by individual sales on ebay and then reducing by 30% looks like £3000 would be a more reasonable price as a job lot.
I'm probably going to divide the lot now anyway if no one's interested at that price though. I'll add sales details to this topic, hopefully sometime tomorrow, if not before!

I have 99% decided to part with my 2000ad collection. It's just about complete up to about April 2017. I just don't have the space to keep it anymore. It's pretty much all packed into heavy duty 35L Really Useful Boxes. A good chunk of the first 1000 are bagged iirc. Possibly more.
Progs 1-2028 (none missing) and prog 3 has the free gift, and most of the later progs have their gifts too - I think I'm missing a 30 year old hubba bubba though 😉.
Megs Vol 1, 2, 3, 4, current run up to 383 (none missing)
All the Annuals & yearbooks
Many of the reprint monthlies up to the early 90s
Most Sci-Fi & winter specials etc. inc. '77, '78, '79.
Crisis 1-25, Diceman 1-5
Ideally I'd like it to go to a good home and be kept together. I've looked on ebay and can see the best way to sell would be in chunks, initially I'm reluctant to do that if I can find the right buyer and agree a reasonable price for it... condition is mostly pretty good to very good even many of the early bog paper ones were ok last time I looked - I'd like to think I've looked after them well.
Was hoping for circa £4000-£5000.
It's up in my loft currently and is hernia inducing to move for photos... with lockdown lifting I wondered whether now might be a good time to try selling it as a whole, buyer to collect (you'll need a van).
I'm in Cambridge fwiw. Happy to listen to sense and/or other offers if I'm out to lunch on this. I'd appreciate any thoughts whatsoever actually.

Hi All,
I'm clearing out progs I bought when I was trying to get work at the house of Tharg. I have a copy of 1208 going spare. Pretty good condition, you all know the story behind it... looking for £25 inc. postage.



...comes with free copies of 1206, 1207, 1209, 1210 & 1211.


Open to offers.

Style guide now down at £59.95 with free P&P for anyone that's interested.

Anyone interested in making me an offer on the style guide? I've just dropped the price to £100 inc. P&P.
However, I would have to pay 10% of the final sale amount to them for the listing so, if any of you are interested in doing a deal here, I'd be very happy to accept something around £90.

Poster has gone!
As it's Christmas and everything, how about the style guide for £100 and the progs for £30? Postage will be £2.90 second class small parcels.

Last chance for a "before" Christmas delivery. Anyone interested? Make me an offer?

Bump.
I would really like to sell these and get them to whoever wants them before Christmas. I had priced them using eBay's sold listings and that might possibly have been a mistake or led to unrealistic expectations. However, I'm reluctant to let them go for a lot less, so I've got a final offer for anyone that might be interested.
I'd accept:
Poster: £150
Guide: £140
Progs: £40
Those prices include 2nd class 'signed for' P&P. Open to all here. £5 off each if you want to collect in person, I'm in Cambridgeshire.

Anyone interested if they were at least 15% cheaper?
£170 ovno (inc. P&P) for the poster.
£170 ovno (inc. P&P) for the style guide.
...and a bit more of a discount on the progs?
£50 ovno (inc. P&P)
Members who have been registered here for more than a month only though please.

Finally, I have a nice run of the "Judge Death Lives" story line.

Listing is here
I'm asking £65 for the set, but again, make me an offer here via PM and help me avoid eBay fees and I'll do a deal! All prices are inclusive of P&P (2nd Class signed for).

Just trying to raise some funds for Christmas. All offers appreciated, so don't be shy, I won't bite!

Sigh... If I had the money...

That said, I've always wanted to add another foot to the height of that poster and add some length to Dredd's legs.
He does look a bit... short 

I think it's the body and shoulders that are stumpy... but I think he drew it at size, so it's a fairly impressive piece of work, it's fabulously detailed art.
Just look at the scan I took of the head:

I'd drop at least 10% to avoid eBay, fwiw.
