Ah, eBay...As a collector, it pained me to think of selling my comics. But now that I am doing it, I have found that it is not as bad as I thought it would be.
There are some benefits to it - I get a little bit of money from it, I gain some space (although my patient and tolerant wife might not even notice) and someone else gets to enjoy some great comics.
And an added bonus is that I get to look at the issues again as they are prepped to be listed. In some cases, they haven't been touched by me in years, so it's nice to see them again. I often find myself rereading them one last time before they are shipped to a lucky buyer.
At first, I was just selling doubles and/or issues I didn't want. But now I am selling some of the good Silver Age stuff. I've already sold off the bulk of my Spider-Man issues (Amazing 51-125 are gone now) and my Fantastic Four issues (51-100 are gone).
I have also sold off some rare issues that seemed like a good idea to sell at the time. I sold my Sin City issues, my 300 issues and Venom-related Spider-Man issues, all coinciding with whatever movie was in the theaters at the time.
If you are on the lookout for new comics - not necessarily chronologically new comics, but new comics to check out - I hope you'll visit my eBay page. I am always listing stuff (more Silver Age issues coming to my eBay page), and you never know what might appear there.
I'd also appreciate any feedback you might have. I'd like to sell more stuff, and I think an outside view and outside opinions would be welcome. And if you do visit, and you wind up buying something, please let me know. I might be in the mood to discount the shipping cost.... Even if you visit and decide to pass on purchasing, any comments you feel compelled to pass along would be appreciated.
I will try to avoid shilling the eBay page here and stick to commenting on comics in general.
