Question from a newcomer

[Pierre the Valiant]

Hi.

I tried a first launch on the forum a year ago but had a very hectic work year since and couldn't follow the posts. If I recall well it was at a time when sean chen came too.

I live in France and I have been a very active supporter of Valiant Comics from the beginning to the end (then of Defiant and Broadway too, even Future Comics!). I was so happy with the revival of the Gold Key characters that I made everything to help Valiant success at the time, including buying multiple copies.

I am considering selling my overstock because of room (and money) needs but I frankly don't know how to proceed: I don't want to scalp but I don't want to see my comics help others to scalp eiher. It happened to me when I was a kid and I swore I wouldn't do that again: selling a graphic novel to a shop and viewing it sold at the same place 5 times the paid price on the next day... :x

I work heavily and I don't have time to organise endless ebay separate sellings.

If anybody has a suggestion, I would gladely read them. As you are collectors and valiant lovers like me, you know better than me what could work (I feel very isolted in France where n obody follewed me when I tried to get people buying these comics).

This said, I really hope that the valiant universe will one day come to life again: I consider it as a golden age in my life of comic reader.

re-welcome!

Not quite sure what the question is though There are board members in europe, so if you are looking to lighten your load that way might work...anyway...welcome back, hope you have more time to stay.

Do you happen to have a list of the comics you are wanting to part with. Then the question arises, do you have a price you are wanting to receive for these comics! Nail those down, post em up and watch them go to a good home!

I would make a list of what you have for sale, with grades, and post it on the buy/sell/trade thread here.

You can either price the list beforehand or say you are taking reasonable offers, or say you are taking a percentage of the prices listed on this website for these books.

Thanks for your answers. I have found the site section with the prices. Very informative, especially with the print runs.

I just have a major problem with the way you seem to grade the comics here: all my comics are brand new but I feel totally unable to grade them according to all what I read on the threads. I have been ordering comics to the usa for more than 20 years and this has always been a problematic topic for me.

[myron]

for grading purposes pick up the overstreet guide if possible...I believe you can order it on line...
