Gold in the Closet - Selling Old and Rare Comic Books for Profit Online

Take a good look in your closet right now. If you are like most middle-aged men, you'll find a plethora of stacked comic books. As we read about the adventures of Superman, Batman, and The X-Men, little did we know that each issue would be tucked lovingly into the back of our closets in our later years. However, 20 years later, these comic gems are worth big money if they are in good condition.

The first step into assessing the worth of your old comic books is to obtain a pricing guide. There is an entire grading system in place for comic books. Your first step is to purchase a copy of a book called "The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide." This details each comic book and it's average selling price at various stores. It also provides a set of standards to assess the condition of your comic books.

You should strongly consider having your comic books Graded by the CGC. The CGC (Certified Guaranty Company) has a website at www.cgccomics.com that allows you to submit your comic books to be sealed and graded. Having your comic books graded not only provides protection for the condition of your comic books but also adds immense value to them when you post them for auction on sites like Ebay.

After making a tally of the value of your graded comic books, you should prepare to sell them. The easiest way these days is to register for an account at Ebay.com and sell them online. Your auction listing should have the comic book's name, Issue Number and Grading in the Auction Title. Be sure to add a photograph of your listing as auctions with pictures tend to sell for higher amounts.

As always, be wary of who you are selling to. Be sure to contact the winning bidder to make adequate shipping arrangements. Pack the Comic book very well to avoid any damage in transit which would devalue the comic and result in negative feedback on your profile.

Finally, have fun and good luck in digging out that Comic book gold in your closet.
