Im pretty sure there are comic forums like this one, where you can ask. I thought my X-Force #1 signed by Rob Liefeld was going to get me rich.....

I thought about putting mine on B&S, but shipping would break me.

I kind of got greedy one day and got screwed by a comic book guy trading them for worthless basketball cards!

Still have mine, of the hundreds I've got 6 are worth some money. 1 is worth about $100

Lemme know if you figure out a way, I've been trying to sell my crap for years. Should have used a third party back when people could afford to buy crap.

Wow, you're in a really tough market.

Your key issues will drive everything. You will get the most money by selling yourself at a show, convention or online.

If you're just trying to sell them outright, you can look at taking trade credit at a local shop or possibly a consignment deal on your best stuff.

If you would have a significant number of key issues (or need to figure out which key issues you own), consider the ads in Comics Buyers Guide or Overstreet.

+1000

I've been slowly liquidating my collection for a couple of years, and the worst thing you can do IMO is take it to a comic book store - you'll get peanuts. While Overstreet is a good guide for prices, the odds of selling for anything near street value are very small (barring highly sought-after comics, like Fantastic Four #1), because collectors are aware of those prices, and they don't want to pay them.

The best luck I've had is on EBay, but I've never tried a convention.
