I worked for Marvel in the early 1990s and have a few thousand comic books in my basement. Sold some over the years at an antiques booth I used to have. Looks like its time to see what I have left down there. The best part is that they were all free. One of the perks of working at Marvel. Thanks for the video. Looking forward to watching the others.
I bet that was an awesome opportunity! Definitely look into them and see what you still have. Best of luck!
I would love to buy some comic lots from you if your intreseted?
Hey I would love to purchase some of those comics if you still have them. Thanks
So how many super early comics did you print off on those late nights? Lol kidding....I do wonder what the security is like though🤔
@@David-sw3on We worked in the corporate offices. All the books were printed off-site. My only involvement with printing was when I had to supervise a project I worked on like posters, promotional items, etc.
Absolutely love both channels, always informative and entertaining always new tips. Love you both thanks for sharing
Thank's for watching! Appreciate you🙏
Glad I found this Channel. I have been looking for advice on how to sell my collection from my childhood. I’ll look into it more, thanks.
Condition condition condition
I started flipping clothes and electronics I picked up at garage sales and flea markets and other things. Recently got into the comic book scene and started finding lots of comics everywhere I went. Thank you so much for this advice guys !!
Thanks for watching! What has been your best flip so far?
Ship them in Gemini mailers that are designed specifically for comic books. Shipping the way he showed often leads to bent books because the post office will just toss stuff ontop of your envelope and those two pieces of cardboard aren't gonna withstand 5lbs+ of pressure.
Thanks for the tip!
The cardboard and bubble envelope tend to work fine for cheaper books. Anything $25 or over definitely use a Gemini.
Good info! I like the tip about sandwiching the comic between the boards.
Glad you enjoyed it, man! Thanks for watching!
I personally have been collecting comic books. Thanks guys!
To sell or just to collect?
Dam steve i bought storage unit PACKED with comics and all the time i want to learn something new you have it!!! THANK YOU!!!
Thanks for watching, Chris!
You just saved me tons of money with that envelope and board! ty
Very knowledgeable, thank you!
Great video guys. I have a few dozen vintage Archie comic books from the 60s onwards and I was wondering how I can sell them digitally? Like scan and upload them for easy digital donwload on amazon or etsy? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
within a few min i liked this guy Dominic and his story !
He is a great guy! Thanks for watching 🙂
Great video!! 💙
Thanks, Tiffany!
Completely disagree with the packing method. I've had a dozen books arrive packed like that and get damaged in shipping. You have to use a comic mailer are media mailer the people who are buying your book are going to demand a full refund if it arrives bent.
Thanks for the tip. I appreciate you pointing that out!
Absolutely media mail is bush league shipping
Wow the two Comics that he listed right off the bat I've got I've got like two thousand books been collecting since I was a kid now they just taking up room
Crazy! Definitely look into listing them if you no longer want them. Not every one will be worth much, but you may have a few gold mines laying around collecting dust!
I LOVE COMIC one of the first items I sold.
Thank you men!
Great info
eBay has sell prices all over the map for often the same comic.
What is the best site for which to place a comic for sale?
There is no best and markets do change.. There are lot's of collector groups and such on Facebook though!
I have a bunch of slabs coming back, and auctions without a reserve price scares me lol I guess you have to have the starting bid at your min price, hopefully that doesn't scare people away though
This is awesome I still have my comics from 1980’s that go back to mid 70’s and all these years I have had them in the comic bags. I am hoping to get some of them graded and a comic con convention .. When I was about 15 to 16 I bought the secret wars comics in 3’s and I never knew I would be an ebayer in my 50’s lol. Great vid thanks for sharing.
Jim Balent's Tarot, i think that jim Balent is or was local to Pa and NJ ?
That's pretty cool!
this had some good info and hes right definitely look for those Novels cause they are out there. I personally wouldnt suggest buying too much bulk though if u dont got the room, and if u got a ol' lady then i suggest u dont even begin with even bringing them in your home. I do agree though that its the best way to go because usually the conditions are stellar. more often then none they coming outta storage the person probably hasnt touched them or hasnt looked at them in ages . long story short if u gonna go that route go small and make sure its something you legit care for. otherwise, its dead space
Just like anything else it takes knowledge to know what to buy and what to sell. Most successful comic book resellers are also collectors with years and even decades of experience. While it is possible to learn what is needed to know don't expect it to be as simple as Retail Arbitrage, Online Arbitrage or Dropshipping. These methods take lots of work, but they are straight forward.
Popularity of characters come and go. You have to know the current trends. Some mainstream characters will always be popular (i.e. Spider-Man, Batman, Superman) while others gain popularity due to the newest movie, but that can fade.
Condition is a tremendous factor. If you do not know how to appropriately appraise the condition you could loose money. Also, your idea of a grade may differ from that of a prospective buyer. Third party grading of issues valued at over $20.00 is highly recommended. Third party grading is a whole other subject by itself.
Also beware of the comics from the mid to late 90's. While there are some that are worth reselling, the majority of them are worth less than half of their cover price and they are worth less than the cost to ship them at any rate. The market and many collections are glutted with these books. You could end up sitting on a bunch of books you can't even give away.
Good Luck!
Thanks for all the wonderful tips! Comics do seem to be a really niched market. Thanks for watching!
I have a spiderman collection
Loose or lose money?
I found a guy who is willing to sale me a long box for $100 and he said I can pick all the comics I want and fill the box the only thing is I’m trying to figure out what is the best way to sell them cause eBay is a nightmare
Question: I live next to a comic book store, is there any way I can get deals with them? Thank u.
Yes. But most likely if it’s family owned and not corporate.
It certainly can't hurt to ask!
if you become a regular customer they generally give you a better deal and breaks
Great video guys
Thanks, man! Glad you enjoyed it!
sandwich packing is good, more boards the better but collectors are very picky so if you sell a lot of comics and make good cash look into using gemini comic mailers !
Thanks for the tip! Appreciate you watching, man!
What about a Flash Gordon, Ghost Rider, The Uncanny X-men or The Mighty Sampson?
You will have to do research on each item/issue to know what the current market value is.
So do you suggest I put a comic book lot on Ebay in a auction type sale or a buy it now type
You can do auction, with a preset amount you want to make so you don't end up selling them for $5 when you wanted $40.
Something you failed to mention comic books are not so much. Just key issues like first appearance in the golden age or silver age and Bronze Age. For example spider man #129 the punisher first appearance. Worth a good amount by the way. You can go to a company called CGC where they grade them and on website called comic shop gives you the full details on the issues value and grade.
That is true. Not every comic book will be worth much, but some are worth a ton! Taking the time to have them graded is definitely worth it.
Greta info. So we just purchased a huge load of books and by accident we found 20 cases of comic books. And they are all individual bagged which leads me to believe they are worth something! I guess it’s time to take our time and list these on eBay only?
Not every individually bagged comic will be worth money, but it doesn't hurt to check! Best of luck, hope you find something awesome!
if we find a mint and we sell it, you will know... but for now, its ADN business....(Any day now)... lol
prime time knows his shit !
yes im looking for selling comics
If the book is signed how much does it typically go up in price?
It really depends on the book and author. If it's a limited edition, signed directly to someone, a well known author, a less known author, ect. all of those can and will affect the price. I would say it's typically safe to raise the price some, maybe $10 or more, but certain authors may fetch more for a signed copy.
Ah man I collected so many of those TSR Books back in the day, and I accidentally left them 3000 miles away.😪 it hurts from time to time when I see the prices for them on eEbay keep going up and up...! lol Thanks for the Great Video Guys it was Awesome!👍👍😉🇨🇦
I sold all my D&D RPG hardbacks recently. I got $200+ for a few
I buy long boxes for $40 to $55 each. Yes some of the books are gonna be trash. Some are not. I'll put lots online but if anything is a good cover or a famous artist or a minor key I'm selling them solo. Don't lot everything. Lot the stuff together that you know won't sell by itself.
Best video I've seen about flipping comics and investing so far.
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching😊
hard to find lon box and short box for 150:o
I started trying this in a little smaller quantity. Even though I now have a few "valuable" comics,, fairly hard to come by in good condition, now I just have a bunch of comics that no one buys. I get about 2 views per month on EBAY. Also, on EBAY, you find everyone just wants to buy them for way less. Rare Spiderman comics are going for a buck or two. And places like MYCOMICSHOP will only give you a few dollars for a really rare comics. They advertise they'll give you 5.00 for an Incredible Hulk #1, which others think is worth 30,000. Basically what they're saying, if you buy comics for anything over a dollar an issue, you're getting ripped off.
Comics will be priced differently. A lot of the specialty ones have to have certain characteristics to be worth the big bucks. There also has to be a market for the product. I'm sorry you don't seem to be having much if any luck with them!
I just started flipping comicbooks
How is it going so far?
@@Raikenprofit so far I've been buying a bunch of long boxes and collections...and I'm figuring out what collectors are looking for in terms of key issues, full writer or artist runs, as well as golden and silver age comics. I figured i would stock pile a few comics via collections while i use local comic shops to look for key issues in the dollar bin
I've got a collection for sale. The collection is currently located in Israel. Mainly Amazing Spiderman and Incredible Hulk from the late 60s until the early 80s. Not graded but all wrapped in plastic and read a few times only, so most in excellent to mint condition. If there is any interest here I will provide more details.
not just envelope at alll . put that envelope in a box as well even one comic !
Use a gemini box not this janky packaging he showed for shipping.
Hi
2024
15 cents a piece boarded? Yes you need some luck on your side and where the person does not understand the value of them...it does happen though! Usually I will give them a little extra $$.👍😉🇨🇦

Thanks for the tip, man!
Using the word "Trick" in reference to selling something online is perhaps not the best word choice.
You’re reading into things way too much... lol
Poo everywhere
Yikes, I hate resellers and scalpers like you! THUMBS DOWN!
