Anyone know about comic books? Any idea what these are worth?

[jeff7b9]

Garage sale tomorrow. *

I don't really know shit about comics. Got these at a garage sale a few years ago in a box that was the box for a lava lamp. Instead of lava lamp I got home and found comic books.



* if it was worth my time... I suppose I could do FB marketplace if that meant a decent chunk more money.


It's mostly "Spawn" a few "Spawn: Blood Feud" and 3 -4 issues of "Pitt" which includes a Pitt #1

There is an issue #1 Spawn.


Are they worth anything?

What would be fair price for these?
Price for #1 issues?




Seem to be going in the $35 range (issues 1 -5 / low #s) on FB marketplace by me.

Check on Ebay for those same comics to get an idea of the going rate.

Edit: I see you already did. Make sure it matches exactly, and that the seller actually has completed transactions for those items in his review section. Sometimes people put up random prices that never sell. Also, for this sort of stuff, I recommend you look for a subreddit dedicated to comics and ask there.

Yeah that's is kind of why I was asking for assistance because I don't know enough to know if those prices are legit or just someone fishing for a sucker.

I'm thinking like $1/each and I'll try to sell the #1 issues on FB.

Not being in that world at all I don't know if therenis any sort of guideline in place.

For example, generally speaking used music gear sells for about half the new price. There are exceptions but that guideline would be pretty decent or at least give you a decent starting point to work from.

Subreddit is a good idea.

Thanks

That fuckin Pitt #1 is pretty dope sir.
That was a fun comic, think you would dig that.

No idea on the price but just seeing one again brought nostalgia chills lol

Back in the day, Barnes & Noble or other book stores sold a magazine called Wizard which was a price guide for comics and noted if first appearance of a key character, I think.

 

[Fuzzybabyducks]

If they in good condition prolly worth something. Try find a hobby shop or comic book store in area they can prolly rate it

Wizard was awesome and such a good price guide. I’m shocked nothing ever filled that void

Looks like there in pretty good condition. Shop around and see what people would offer for it. Like the poster in a couple posts above me said. Go to a legit comic store, just like card stores and they evaluate your comic books properly and hopefully.

Spawn ain't really worth much these days

 

[NoSmilez]

You should sell them on Ebay or hold on to it. These comics will go up if there is a spawn movie or series that comes out.

I had all the image #1 issues Spawn, The Pitt, Savage Dragon, Invincible, The Maxx, Bone, and a bunch more and about 5 years worth of Wizard magazines and sold them a few years ago and got like $250-300ish If I remember correctly. Probably won't get shit yardsale though. Take em to your local nerd store.

I'm still sad about it.

They had a first edition spawn issue 1 for 17 dollars at a comic book shop when i was a kid, in Germany. My parents wouldn't get it for me. Crushing the heart of a poor 7 year old....

As an 80's kid, I really didnt like the Image comics art style when it came out.


I did like Maxxx tho but it was maybe later on that I appreciated it.

Zero. Get $30 cash for the lot if you find a sucker.

if you're really wanting to know i'm pretty sure there are companies you can send them in to get graded and they'll give you a price. although, there was at least one of these companies who were exposed for the owner grading his own comics super high to try and turn a profit, if i'm not mistaken part of how he was exposed was he went on "Pawn Stars" tv show and tried to sell one of them for like a million or something.

so maybe research around and find a reputable grading company if you really want to try and get a good price range on it. or post it on r/comicbookgrading and ask the rando comicbook nerds of the internet to give you an idea.

Unfortunately everyone started collecting comic books in the 90s thinking one day they could sell one to buy a house.

And since everyone was buying them, the comic companies were printing them as fast as they could so everyone that wanted to buy them could have them.

That's why those comics ain't worth much.
