I have a few hundred singles from when I collected as a kid that I would like to consolidate into some higher value slabs. Market value is around $3k, but a majority of the cards are worth between $1-10. Almost everything is played (mostly MP-LP) and I've already taken out anything that's gradable or has sentimental value.

I would like to offload these since they take up a lot of both physical and mental space, and I want to do it in a timely manner while also maximizing what I can get for them, within reason.

My plan is to take them to a card show I'm going to soon and trade with vendors.

I was thinking I'd price them based on the value of the cards and do something like: $1-10 - take 60-70% $10-20 - take 80% $20+ - try for 85-90%

The only thing I'm worried about is conditioning. I'm used to selling on eBay where I feel like it's not as strict, but I definitely noticed last time that vendors were more scrutinizing than my standards (which of course lowers expected value).

I'm thinking whatever I don't move at the show I will try to trade with locally on FB Marketplace. And whatever is left from that I'll probably just throw up as a lot on eBay.

On a side note, after setting all of these aside I'm left with a decent amount of bulk from pretty much all eras going up to X&Y (with the exception of some bulk I've got from ripping stuff in recent years). It's all sorted and I'm wondering if I should try to get a certain rate for it. There's nothing worth over $1, but there's a lot of cards worth say 50c, and it ads up. Thinking about bringing it to the show and just seeing who might be interested, I had a guy last time I went who told me he was specifically interested in mid era bulk.

What do y'all think of my plan, am I being overoptimistic? Is there anything I'm missing?

NOT AN AD, I HAVE NO AFFILIATION WITH THIS WEBSITE

I saw an ad on Facebook (I know), and it looks like you can get free daily credits or something. Only reason I'm entertaining it. Curious if anyone knows if it's legit before I give them my info..

I have a medium (<100) lot of modern comics I am looking to sell. I am well aware that selling them individually will lead to more profits but I don't really have time for that at the moment.

I priced everything out with eBay comps (raw prices, not including shipping) and came up with what I believe is a pretty reasonable market value of everything. The values on each book range from around $10 to $80, with an average price of about $30 per book.

Everything is unread, bagged and boarded. Some dupes but it's good stuff. There is a good mix of higher demand stuff like comics from the Absolute series and slightly more obscure variants that you might expect to sit for a little if you put them up on eBay.

Based off what I've seen a shop wouldn't buy this high, but I don't know, maybe it's worth asking around since it's all stuff that has appreciated past retail value?

I'd probably be okay going down to 60-65%, but anything lower than that would be hard for me to take.

I have experience selling on Facebook marketplace and posting on groups, but suggestions on how to go about lots like this would be great. Not sure about any other local options that might be worth exploring.

Any other ideas on where and how to best move these comics would be greatly appreciated 🙏
