Title: Selling collection - best place to do it - suggestions please?
Post by: Northwinds on 06 October, 2013, 12:59:28 PM
Hi all
Finally decided to let go of my 2000AD collection.
I have the majority of the first 1200 - will post an exact list if anyone here is interested?
Can anyone suggest the best place/way to sell them?
Cheers!

Thanks for the interest but I was really looking to not break the collection up - rather sell as a whole.
At least initially - the reason I came here asking for advice.
Any ideas please?

Hello!
Ive been mainly buying and not an expert, but it appears that those who are looking for a quick no nonsense sale in bulk have to accept that they will get less money for them this way. Breaking it up into batches or single issues will yield a better price overall but will take a lot of time, patience and effort to sell them all.
I guess you have to decide whether you want to get maximum money at the cost of time and energy, or whether that time and energy are worth more than x amount of pounds..

Your last post wasn't there when i posted that!!
I can't think of anywhere other than stick it on ebay with a reserve price....there appears to be a healthy amount of collectors on there (i know coz the bastards keep gazumping me!).... :)

Hi.
Three options -

1. Sell on ebay. Here's exponential decreasing graph of how much they are worth. Imagine the y axis is £1 rather than 0 and it reaches the giddy heights of £150 for issue 1. First hundred worth £150 to £5
But fully agree with the above

2. Compal comic auctions for first 100 progs

3. Trade them in with a retailer - you'lll get a better deal for trade but from 200 onwards he'll consider he's doing you the favour.

Ive realised my graph is wholely innacurate, poorly labelled and stolen from google and should drop much faster. Anyone cleverer than me want to produce the first 2000ad price guide graph?
