How Much Is My Comic Book Collection Worth? 

and youre the only one that got it

No doubt. I had to downsize all my long boxes to short. Those bastards are too heavy for my aging bones.

@@thetoyboxthetoybox8305 Agreed. Also, a box of modern age comics weighs like twice as much compared to previous comic ages.

Gorgeous collection.

🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣

What did you do to earn those Schrute bucks… or did you pull a Creed and print off a bunch of them yourself?

@@johnnydropkicks careful what you say… would hate for you to get a… protuberance

Only mistake is using the notoriously inaccurate GoCo for pricing. GPA, Covrprice, Heritage, ebay sales are all good.

Incomplete list of costs that have to be paid by an individual seller (online and conventions only): Bare minimum: -The cost of the book (duh) -Bags: Magazine, Super-Golden, Golden, Silver, Modern. Poly and Mylar -Boards: same set -Painters Tape: You can get the self-adhesive bags, or clear tape, but you'll regret it eventually. -Boxes (magazine size and regulars. Short or long (I prefer short) -Scanner. Phone pics are not viable if you are moving any kind of volume. You'll be better off with scanners for raws and slabs, but let's say just one. -Thermal Printer (you could use another kind, but thermal really is cheaper overall) -Regular printer (packing slips, pick lists,..basically anything not a label of some kind) -Printing supplies (paper, labels, ink, toner, consumable parts like rollers) -Computer (but you probably already have one, so that doesn't really count) -Subscriptions. Oh lord this is a broad (and expensive) category. Pricing tools, marketplace storefronts, website hosting, accounting software...the list just goes on and on. -Shipping materials - Comic mailers, slab mailers, shipping tape. If you do live sales and convention sales: -Tables -Table covers -Display racks -Flyers/Business cards -Signage -Dolly/cart -Venue fees -POS (can be cheap to expensive) But wait... all of that (and more) and we haven't sold a single book 😲 Once you sell: (note-fees are calculated on the selling price + shipping + tax combined) -Payment processor fees. These can vary but are usually 3-4% -Marketplace fees. 8% to 20% is normal. Note that many platforms charge a per-transaction fee (30 or 40 cents) that significantly raises the effective fee for low-dollar books. Example: WhatNot technically charges 8%, but on a dollar book the effective rate is actually 41% because of the per-transaction charge. -Postage -Chargebacks. Yes, you will get unwarranted chargebacks. People are bastards. And let's not forget... after all is said and done and you manage to eek out a profit; the IRS wants 20-30% of that. All of this also assumes you don't value your time at all. In a nutshell, unless you are willing to take on all of that^^, you're going to sell your collection for significantly lower than FMV. Comic reselling isn't a way to make easy money. It's a labor of love that hopefully profits enough to let you keep doing it.

@@SinbadComics Not that I would ever avoid paying taxes, but if you made live convention cash-only sales, could you, in theory, cut the IRS?

@@comicbooknarcissist in theory, though I wouldn't recommend it. An audit would turn up bank deposits or unaccounted-for purchases that would have to be explained.

@@Doc_Dooom I don't think you're a real doctor.

Is the correct answer!

If your time was that valuable you wouldn't be watching his videos.
