Best way to sell about 30 slabs at once..not individually 0

[bghkoyama]

Haven't been on in a long while.  I was wondering what the best way to get rid of about 30 slabs.  I want to avoid posting them individually, but might have to do that later on.

Most are CGC SS from McFarlane, Leifeld, Zeck, Turner, etc.  A few keys (NM98,87) and a few oddballs like GI Joe Special #1 (no GPA sales since 2014).

A quick GPA (I priced them below GPA value) had them for $9830.  I know I won't get close to that, but I'm trying to sell them to get some grails.

TIA

Well, my experience is that you can sell them all fast, or you can maximize your profit, but you probably can't do both. A dealer might take the lot at once, but the best bang for your buck would be doing exactly what you're trying NOT to do, which is piece them out. Good luck either way!

I suggest you message Conan at my comic shop. I have sold bulk slabs to him twice and he offers very close to gpa prices

[comicquant]

I would throw them up here and see what happens.  You'll probably get multi-book buyers and it may only take a day or two to unload if they're priced realistically.  For books with some sort of congruency  sell them as lots (2,3,4,5 bundles).

Consign them to MyComicShop if not sell them outright.

30 is not a lot to list - I would do that separately to maximize your $$ ( or try MCS) - if trying to list here ( and this is based on me and not a real offer) -- for that many slabs I would research the list and pay ~ 75-80% gpa for the keys with solid data  - probably 50% of GPA for SS or estimated GPA for those with poor data ( like only 1-2 sales in the last 12 months or less) . This is based more on the bulk purchase you would be looking for. Some might offer more - many less?

Could they all be shipped to them and sold in a monthly auction?

I don't know what he has, but that is a possibility. He'd have to talk to Conan or Este. She runs the auctions.

I was in the same boat.... a bunch of slabs to sell and not willing or nuanced enough to list, sell and ship them individually. Over the past year I have sent 750 slabs to MyComicShop (at least 2/3 have sold so far).  You can price them and change prices when you want and the cost is your shipping costs to them and a 10% commission for each slab (less if it is a higher value book). It is a nice check each week. 

[shadroch]

Just to clarify, if your book sells for less than $50, it is a $5 commission., not 10%. So if your book sells for $20, they still take a $5 commission.  On Higher value books , the commission rate drops a bit.  Over $300, it drops to 8% and over $3,000 it drops again.

I would assume they are Copper or Modern. Are the 9.6 or 9.8s?

Yes...copper/modern.  9.4 to 9.8's (NM98 are 9.2, (3) 9.4's, (3) 9.6's), GI Joe Special (3) 9.8's (only 15 graded that high, none higher), and a few Turner Civil Wars CGC SS 9.8's to name a few.

Yes, as others have said MCS is probably your best option.

FYI, you may be looking at the wrong GPA data for the GI Joe. A 9.8 sold in Sept. for $480 and there have been multiple since 2014.

Sorry,  I didn't clarify on the GI Joe Special.  I have (3) CGC SS 9.8 signed by McFarlane.  GPA shows that the last one sold for $500 in 2014.  And GPA only shows 2 being sold for the CGC SS 9.8 McFarlane signed version.

Gotcha, I would say you could use the inflation rate of the blue label.

I must ask, did you get them signed personally and did Todd give a confused or disgusted look?

Haha...I submitted them a while ago...the witness did say he gave a double take on the comic before signing them.

Thanks guys - had to research to find the backstory, but that book is definitely an interesting historical tidbit from the 90s, especially for McFans, GI Joe Special, McFarlane or not?
