Hi kitty Cat

Just to say that I've looked and I've swapped all of the Volume 1-3 megazines for some base metals.

What I have left is:

2000AD progs 521-778
2000AD progs 1313-1433
Megs 220-253 (minus issues 225 and 226).

Really not after a fortune for them.

Sincere apologies for not sorting out those annuals, but I can actually get to some of them now, so should be able to make a fresh assault in the new year.

All the best and Merry Christmas.

Hello not sure i'm in the right forum but am asking how to go about selling a collection of earliest 2000AD issues 2-onwards. Also I have no idea how to gage condition re discription for sale can you help by pointing me in the right direction, thank you patrick.

Depends on the quality of your collection on how best to sell them.

Gauging condition is tricky but generally it's all about being as close to newly printed (mint) as possible - crisp, clean pages!
I'm not fussed about yellowed pages too much, but others are, so mention any yellowing and on which issues.
If you've stored them in a pile, are they creased or curled at the spine?
One thing I do have an issue with is if there are pages missing (cut out coupons, features, pin-ups or otherwise).
It is also worth mentioning any tears or other blemishes no matter how small, particularly on early issues.

Here IS a good place to start, if you post up a list of what you have in a new topic, and a realistic figure that you'd like for them, you'll get a few decent offers I think.

Otherwise, ebay is really the best place. Selling them as a job lot is easiest and will leave you with none to throw away... but I believe the way to realize the largest profit is sell each of the 1-10 issues individually then in batches of 5-10 up to prog100 and then in yearly or half yearly batches. This way people looking to fill out their collections will be more likely to bid... I reckon you'll definitely still end up with some left but you might get away with it if you start the bidding low enough and don't over-charge on postage.

I'm sure some would disagree with me, this is just how I would do it.

Than you for your very prompt reply and useful info. If its not to rude a question can i ask about where to get a relavant price guide. I have hung on to them for so long it would be stupid to not explore this aspect.

You seem very knowlegable on his topic. I also have other comics and want to know how to go about selling them if you could point me in the right direction. Starlord, Crissis, DC Superman, Swanp Thing 1st issue, The legion of super heros, E-man etc
don't worry if you hav'nt just thought i'd ask as i'm on here and pretty clueless. I'm a SiFi head mostly novels.

Regards Patrick

There are price guides out there, but I haven't looked at one in over 15years... so I wouldn't know which ones included 2000AD if any.

Check ebay and Incognito Comics (or any other online stockists) website for a guide to the maximum you could hope to achieve for each issue. Then I would reduce that figure by a percentage that equalled the price you'd like to get for your progs. Then assume you will get somewhere below that - 2000AD, as hinted at elsewhere in this forum, is difficult to give away let alone sell.

Seriously, post up what you have, as a list and ask for offers - the fans here won't try to rip you off because they know the value of the comics you are selling.
