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.....

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.

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.
