So I am conducting what will be my next big comic cutdown in awhile. The last was probably 2011-2012 and I sold few long boxes to Fearlessreaders.com. I am now going to get down from 20 boxes to 10-12. The fact I have 20 longboxes now after doing a purge lets you know they accumulate.
I am going to a show this weekend and doing some ebaying. I frequent for an occasional trade. I don't do as many floppies so I am not as much as a regular as I use to be. Anyway. I messaged him and mentioned I am going to start culling my collection. He stated that his average walk-in buy rate for long boxes is $10-15. Based on a longbox holding 225 comics that comes out to 7 cents a comic. Now its been awhile since I have sold any comics to a dealer and it depends on what's in the box but am I missing something here? I was thinking $30-50 box. That's a quarter a book max.
What's the word on the streets?
