Figured since there is a thread about the skyrocketing classic comics based on movies etc. No need to add the price if you don’t want to. I sold Avengers 48 in FN+.

I've been posting some stuff in the FB auction group for Gem City Comic Con the past few weeks and have sold a handful of things. I've been doing them as a claim sale rather than an auction, and have accepted a few offers as counters to my claim prices as well. Nothing too major or pricey, but I have sold the following over the last 2 weeks...
Destroyer Duck #1 (1st Groo)
Doomsday Squad #3 (1st Usagi Yojimbo in color)
Critters #8
Critters #14 (Usagi story)
Marvel Spotlight 29 (low grade reader)
Uncanny X-Men 133
a Mike Mignola lot (with random issues of Slegehammer 44 and Sir Edward Gray Witchfinder in it)
I also trade with Crimebuster for his Dollar Bin challenge and sent him a Batman 666 and a What If? #10.
I also dumped off about a half a short boxes worth of doubles and extras that were all dollar or more likely quarter bin fare at Half Price Book and got $15-20* bucks for it (to was part of a larger batch of stuff including some DVDs and books I was clearing out and got a larger amount for, so I am estimating the return on the comics themselves based on the estimated return for the other stuff.
I've also sold a large batch of vintage RPG stuff for a considerable sum, and have more I am going to start posting to a different FB auction group focused on rpg material that Jesse (the Gem City con organizer) told me about. I've got some vintage toys I will be moving on from soon as well.

* just to put things in perspective. Last time I dumped off comics to HPB was about 10 years ago, and I was dumping longboxes of much better stuff and wasn't getting anywhere near $20 a long box from them (more like $10 per long box) so even their buying prices have gone up reflecting the increase in demand and sales of back issues

As an addendum, I posted my first three items to that RPG auction groups shortly after I posted earlier. The first item sold at the buy out price (their version of Buy it now but it works slightly differently) in a half hour, the second item has gotten some bids already ad the third has had a lot of views and reactions, but no bids yet. I have a bunch of stuff to sell off, but I was just trying three (it's a limit of 6 active auctions per person at a time in the group) to see how it goes and was very conservative in my pricing since we were new to the group. So far so good.
I've got another batch of 10 comics going up in the other facebook group tomorrow, so we will see how that goes. My sale to post rate in that group is much lower (only selling 2-3 items per batch of 10), but I am still moving stuff that was just sitting here otherwise.

I average finding 1-2 collections a year. I am always buying and selling books, mainly to fund further collecting. I do as best a job as possible to not spend any actual money on comics.
Recently sold a Hulk 180. Book just has no appeal to me, and I am happy to sell whenever I get one (this will be the third I have sold in the past year and a half..the first went for $180 in 3.0 range, then $350 in VG- range and now this one for $800 in VG range).
