In this video I stop at a local yard sale and am faced with the option to buy over 1000 comics. Leave me a comment and let me know would you have bought them or not. We also give some advice on buying gold on the street.

As a comic collector, I'd have rolled the dice. Odds are you'd have found a few hundred worth spread over 10 or so comics and then sell the rest for a $1 a piece. It was an easy money maker, something to do during your shops downtime.

Brother, brother, never ever give up the opportunity to buy comic books. Especially all the ones I saw. At least $5 each and some I saw were in the $20 range. The Spiderman comics are soaring, and the DC Superman and Batman ones are also up there. 1000 X $10 average equals 10,000 smackaroos. After he said 10 cents a comic and he agreed there were about 1000 comics, you should have said ok and paid the 100 bucks, but he noticed he was giving away thousands of dollars and added 50 bucks more. Thats when you tailed back and became confused, because you did have a point, there's alot to sell and lately kids don't read comics, but in the future those comic books will be priceless works of art, and it won't be just 10,000 bucks but way way more. I bought a stack of comics for $20 like right after the Covid days, and just one of those from 1954 turned out to be worth $7150.00 and the others were between 1,200 - 3,800. So I never say no to Comic books.

Yeah man, def. Worth the buy. If anything through your research you would be paying a minimum admission fee to understand the value of comics. I would of stolen from this man at that price. Plus he said he had more, that was just a small portion. If he really bought a comic book store. It's possible he's got thousands of dollars and not even know it

@@Keeps- probably 70s and under for the bigger money. But comics over 30+ years old are better to sell. These were 90s comics so close to if not 30 years old. So they would have made thousands of dollars for only $150. It would be a good amount of work but completely worth it in my opinion.

For .10 a piece it’s worth it, if you’re willing to put in the time to bag, board, and sell them. You could blow them out at $1 a piece, 11 or more is .50 each. You’d have ‘3’ for awhile but you’d get your money back.

The 90's comic market was over saturated but still $150 was well worth that whole collection especially if there was any long runs so you cud divide titles into say 5 or 10 consecutive issues. May have taken a while but u wudda sold them eventually.

I think at 10 cents you would have done all right considering they had boards and clear plastic on them which cost around $.50 each in supplies but the time it takes to list them one at a time would have been too much and you would still have the box of them sitting in your pawn shop. Ebay is the only place I can think of to sell them and mine have been sitting in my Ebay store for years and years that I picked up from an estate sale at 10 cents each without any supplies.

At 10 cents each he would have been able to lot them up and list them really cheap. So they would most likely sell pretty quickly. He would not have made as much if he listed and sold them for every cent they were worth. But they would be gone quick and he would still make good money.

I didn't see anything while you were flipping through of any note. The porblem is, people that know pick through them and pull all the good books and leave the junk behind. It may have taken you 20 years, if ever, to sell a bunch of worthless books. The 90's were the most over produced years for comic books and it caused the comic market to crash. There may have been a few keys in there that may have made your money back or more, but what do you do with the other 1,000 no one wants?

i'd say 90% of it is dollar or 50¢ comics. depending on grade of course. perhaps the last 10% might be worth $5-$25 each. again depending on grade. what you need to know is the key comics and pull those out and look at the spine and corners and wear/tear of them. for modern comics, which most of those are, you need them to be almost near mint to be worth anything. people are more forgiving for older comics pre-1990 as far as condition.

Just seeing that comic collection off the top there was nothing compelling that I saw. I would have gone through the stacks to see if there was anything worthwhile but I am pretty sure his kids went through the stuff already. I am at the point of collecting where it's better to buy an older collection to fill in the blanks and sell the rest for what I can get out of it. A comic shop will give you anywhere from 10 to 20 cents per book if you are lucky. I have enough crap in my life and plenty of long comic boxes don't need anymore unless they are a super special collection.
