    What titles are that? And what issues? You can look up their approximate value at Mycomicshop.com

    Also depends on condition.

    As an example I am seeing Superboy #98 on eBay ranging from $6.99 - $40.00.

    Overstreet value of Superboy #98
    $ 300.00 NM
    $ 89.00 VF
    $ 39.00 FN
    $ 26.00 VG
    $ 13.00 GD

    Pretty much paid near retail to what they are worth. Room for little profit.

    Hopefully I can find someone to trade them back issues of walking dead for.

    I should stick to what I know video games.
    tied up money I didn't need to spend.
    Fail... *facepalm*

    Depends on the grades I guess. Most of these are worth $5 or $10 tops but that Superboy could be worth something if it's was graded 8.0 or higher

    The witching hour#18
    Superboy #98
    Crypt of shadows #10

    I'm trading these in for $80 credit on lone star comics. Even if they retract a grade I should make most of what I spent and keep the left over two books.
    now I won't be going to my pcs as I will have enough for my pulls for like four months.
    better then keeping something I didn't even want though

    Lone star comics retracted due to over gtrading. Which didn't make sense to me how superboy only got a vg was vf- to me. Think they just didn't want to honor what the TIV was. They offered $17 bucks for the three issues.

    Golden rule.

    Stores tend to undergrade when buying and overgrade when selling.

    Stores also include hidden elements like taxes, profit margin and store overhead in their final prices, but buy books at a fraction of guide value or wholsale value only.

    Yeah I'm stuck with books I don't want and won't be easy to sell. I'm sticking to reading comics not flipping. I can flip video games good because I know the industry in and out.

    How true that is Ultimate Jezebel . Around here a lot of stores offer 10 cents a book and then try to sell for 2 to 3 bucks a book . I recently found out when trying to down size collection . But found a local collector /buyer that was interested in buying a bunch of my books and came to a fair price . Not near what book value was but I was looking a buck apiece and got 1.17 . Most of collection was bought off of the stand for 75 cents or less . So I was happy and keep over 2000 books . My complete run of Iron man from 1968 till now and all my Conan the Barbarian and Conan Magazines .
