IDW 1-10 variants (28 issues)

I just put up a big 28 issue lot of mostly variants
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=200785005801

I'm starting it at under cover price. I really don't want to sell these but I need the cash for my family. I would prefer to sell these to real collectors instead of resellers so please take a look.

I'm still holding on to my standard cover collection and will be picking up all new releases. But I dont need all these extras and i cant sit on this potential money when i should be putting my 9 month old daughter first.

can anyone tell me what i can expect for this lot?

I don't know what you could get for it, but I'll tell you what I would pay if I wanted that auction, and didn't have any of the issues. I would probably pay $2.00-2.25 an issue, which is $56-63, plus shipping. So I would only pay around $60-67. But that's me.

And hey, good luck with your auction.

thanks for the honest opinion. I lowered the asking price to $49.99. I thought i could easily get over cover price but this isn't about profit. My baby needs food and i have to prove to the wife that my priority is my family.

Hey, I understand that. I have a daughter that turns two next week. I don't have a job, but my wife's job juuuuust pays the bills, groceries, gas, and a tiny bit left over to eat out about twice a month.

I've just about sold all my stuff aside from my extremely personal things, like my main Donatello figures ('88, Movie, Neca, Toy Fair), some variant comics (I have all the comics I have bought, but would sell all but just a couple variants), my Dan Berger commission, my Elway collection, and a couple other things.

But of course, if I were about to be homeless, or had nothing to eat, I would sell everything. Luckily there are programs around here that would prevent that.

Gotta love being an adult, right?

well i'm not about to be homeless but I'm in danger of loosing the car and my phone.

My wife's not much of a collector but her mother is so she understands me and always supported my habits. And im not saying i waste hundreds of dollars a month on collecting (maybe $20-$40).

but when times are tough and i look around at shelves filled with 15 years of collectables, I cant justify keeping them over my family.

well i hope this auction will go up to $100 so i break even, then at least i wont feel i wasted valuable funds.
