What's the best site to sell comic books online?
Q. I am trying to sell many of the comic books that I have online. I tried ebay but I didn't get many bids for them. Is there any site that specializes in selling comic books online? Thanks.
Asked by Tyrone P - Sun Mar 23 12:23:23 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. It's possible you didn't get many bids because your comics aren't that rare or valuable, or you didn't provide the information people look for when they buy comics from eBay, or perhaps you had a starting/reserve price that was unrealistic. eBay really is the standard way to go. You can also try craigslist so you can find interested buyers in your area who can pick the books up and hand you cash, that way you don't have to deal with shipping or online money transfers. Or take them to your local comic book store. Unless your comics are from before 1975, any other method of selling is rarely worth all the trouble

How many comic books were in the box?
Q. Tayla purchased a large box of comic books for $300. She gave 15 of the comic books to her brother and then sold the rest on an internet website for $330, making a profit of $1.50 on each one. How many comic books were in the box? What was the original price of each comic book?
Asked by devan s - Fri Oct 23 18:00:50 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Let x denote the number of comic books in the box. Her cost per magazine was 300/x. If she gave 15 to her brother, then she sold (x-15) magazines on the internet site. The price she got per magazine was 330/(x-15). This was $1.50 more than her cost per magazine. So 330/(x-15) - 300/x = 1.5 Multiply both sides by x(x-15): 330x - 300(x-15)) = 1.5x(x-15) 330x - 300x + 4500 = 1.5x - 22.5x 30x + 4500 = 1.5x - 22.5x Divide both sides by 1.5 (I like integers) 20x + 3000 = x - 15x 0 = x - 35x - 3000 Using the quadratic formula, x = [35 (1225 + 12000)]/2 x = 75 or x = -40 We must reject the negative solution of course. The original price of the comic books, per book, was $300/75 = $4

Can anyone list the comic books issues that prove Angela and Spawn's romantic relationship?
Q. I've read a few comic books from the Spawn universe, and have always been intrigued by the titular character's (al Simmons) relationship with Angela. I've read on wikipedia that the two had a romantic relationship before she was killed in Spawn #100. Can anyone list and enumerate the comic book series and issues that show this relationship? Actually, it would be great if anyone could list all her appearances, in all series. Thanks.

Why is Manga considered a separate medium from comic books?
Q. I've noticed people getting annoyed when Manga gets grouped in the same genre as comic books, or when bookstores sell anime alongside western animation.
Asked by Human - Mon Jul 27 20:07:26 2009 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments
A. "Well, manga is a type of comic." hey is the only person who even got this remotely right. A comic is simply the format of telling a story through juxtaposed pictures - which includes manga. Manga is just a word used to describe the style of comics which come from Japan, which are USUALLY (but not always) uncolored, read right to left, and have a certain style of art, characterized by large eyes, elaborate hair and other elements. "It's like saying Football and Rugby are the same." They're both sports. Football is just one example of a sport, just like manga is one example of a comic.

Are comic books still worth a lot of money?
Q. I remember you could sell old classic graphic novels for good money. I have 2 boxes full of comic books since i was a kid, but since our economy has changed so much in recent years, i was wondering if i should even bother selling them?

A. They can be worth a lot of money. If they are from mid-1980's till today, comics probably won't make much money. Other than some exceptions, most of those comics are not that rare. If the comics are from the early 1980's or earlier (60's or 70's) then there is a greater chance of them being worth a lot of money. And as other people mentioned, it depends of the condition. Check out someplace like to get an idea of your comics' worth. To answer your last question, you should probably hold on to your comics until the economy picks back up. (just my opinion)

Either check on-line at any site that deals with collectibles like baseball cards, comic books, etc., or try to find the Comic Book Buyer's Guide. It lists the values and pricing of comic books.

How much are comic books worth?
Q. I came across hundreds of comic books at my job that someone was throwing out. I was checking them out. Many of the comic books are still in the plastic and have not been open. Some are open but they are x rated comic books. A lot of the comic books are from the 90's and some are from the 60's. So how much are they worth?
Asked by sawa - Fri Aug 28 21:48:26 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The general rule of thumb says that books from 1980 to the present day are not worth very much, and can go for as little as pennies apiece in bulk. Before that, the further back you go the more their worth. Of course, it depends on what the specific issue is and what condition it's in, but that goes for most comics. Comicpriceguide.com or the overstreet price guide are just that, GUIDES. Just because they say a comic is worth $4 doesn't mean anyone really pays that price. The best way to get an accurate idea of their value, search eBay, and find what people actually pay for specific issues.

A. I'm not sure if there is anyone that does free appraisals unless you want to see if a local comic store will do it. You can try to do the appraisal yourself by using It doesn't cost anything to join. They have articles on how to grade the books then you can look up the potential worth. If you think you own something valuable, I would recommend getting it professionally appraised. CGC ( can grade & preserve the comic so it will retain its value. I have no idea how much it costs to do this.

Q. I recently bought a box of about 50 assorted comic books at a local auction and I was wondering if there were any comics in the bunch that could be worth more than just the pleasure of reading them. Is there a website that offers free comic book appraisals?

A. I'm not sure if there is anyone that does free appraisals unless you want to see if a local comic store will do it. You can try to do the appraisal yourself by using It doesn't cost anything to join. They have articles on how to grade the books then you can look up the potential worth. If you think you own something valuable, I would recommend getting it professionally appraised. CGC ( can grade & preserve the comic so it will retain its value. I have no idea how much it costs to do this.

A. Marvel doesn't concern itself with the value of it's older issues. They make no money when people sell the issues between each other after they buy it from Marvel in the first place. But the answer is no. Old comics which are rare will always be rare. People want Amazing Spider-Man #1 no matter how many times it's been reprinted. The value of those older, truly rare comics goes up every year without fail. The value of modern comics will go down regardless of whether or not they're reprinted, because value in older comics comes from rarity, and there's nothing rare about modern comics with print runs in the tens or hundreds of thousands when everyone buying them keeps them. The old comics are rare and collectable because people didn't use… [cont.]

Is it okay to store comic books in the garage if they're in protective casing and boxes?
Q. I have a couple of boxes of comic books that I needed to store in the garage, and I was wondering if it was okay to store them there, without worrying about damaging them? Also, I have some that aren't in protective casing, and I was wondering if that would be an issue as well? No pun intended, hehe. Anyways, thanks in advance! (:
