Selling comics for first time on forum.9343

I hear their hourly rate is outrageous! sportshort private msg quote post Address this user
I am going to make a feeble attempt at selling comics here for the first time. I am selling from my personal collection, I accept paypal only, shipping for raw books will be 6 dollars for the first 3 books and 1 dollar per additional books. shipping per slab will be 10 dollars. I have never sold anything outside of ebay so please bear with me as I struggle with the payment process. first to respond/pay gets it. Returns not accepted(we can talk if you have an issue). Please, Please don't be critical of my grading, I did the best I could. Make me an offer if you feel the price is too high.

first up will be the wolverine mini-series that I bought as a youth with the intent of re-selling some day. these books have never been taken out of their bags since they were placed there by the comic book store employee way back when. I was very nervous about handling them to take these pictures.

Wolverine 1 is in VF+ condition with off-white pages $80 dollars OBO.



Woverine 2 VF+ condition with off-white pages $50 dollars OBO

your's is probably graded. I would grade mine but i don't think the money would pan out even though i bought them for cover price.

Go ahead and post yours, since i am getting no play. I know you give really good deals so yours would probably be more of a bargain than mine but again, mine have never been read so I figured that was something. Anyway, go for it and good luck.

Nothing personal, but I would drop the "Never been read" or "Never taken out of the Bags" angles.

I just don't think any experienced collector buys into that. I think buyers shy away from books using these phrases as they really have nothing to with the grade of the book.

If its a nice looking VF+ book just state so in an accurate description. I think any possible interested parties would be more confident.

Nice looking books.. They will find a new home eventually...... Good Luck

Regards
John

You have a very interesting take on this, it isn't a ploy, I bought these with the intent of getting top dollar when I would eventually sell them (hence the double of Woverine 2). at that time I bought a lot of doubles but one long box of them was destroid when my AC water line broke and the water poured onto the the box. luckily it was just one box but anyway. I never thought about the possiblity that someone would think it's a ploy. I am going to take your advice and re-list on ebay without that statement and see what happens.

@sportshort - I agree with John on the wording. It's better to say something like original owner collection, most never read or only read once, bagged, and properly stored since. Otherwise it sounds like a line, like the used car salesmen who used to say "Previously owned by a little old lady who only drove it on Sundays." Personally I almost never trust the description, and try my best to determine condition by pictures and/or scans.
Good luck, they are desirable books, so they should eventually sell.

as I mentioned,it never struck me to look at it from that angle. I really appreciate this because I am extememly new to selling and need these types of tips. I guess if i read it I would be thinking the same as you folks. thank you both very much.

Im glad you did not take my comments personal. Many times I avoid posting what I feel is well intended constructive criticism because more times than not people take it the wrong way and become combative.

Nope, it gave me a perspective very different from my own and i always assume if there are two possible ways to take something, i always assume the person sharing their opinion means it in the best possible way. thanks again!

P.S. check out the post i just started, I'ts funny in a sad way but funny.
