- Just had a question. Anyone have any experience selling comics to a comic dealer/shop? I understand that if you want the most bang for your buck, that selling online is the best bet, but i just have like 5 books i wanna sell, and the comic shop im gonna go to has been around for years in the city, and is he best in the city, so no worries of it being on its death bed or anything is what i mean about that. I know they offer a fraction of retail, bc they have to make money also, but what exactly is the percentage. Meant that as more figurative lol i know there is no answer, but is it so small that it gets past over often, or is it reasonably fair? I have an issue of "what if...venom/deadpool" for example that i want to sell, bc i know it will drop soon and was never a fan of the art or story. Its wort $165 here NM. Yes i know my copy probably isn't NM, but hypothetically it is for comparison, how much would they offer me? Is expecting $80 too lofty? Also, is it expected to know the grades going in and any info? Are they like mechanics to a hot girl? Do they prey on the unknowledgeable, or are they always pretty helpful? I've read good and bad stories. Any help would be appreciated pls, and thank you.

- Typically they will offer 20 percent of grade, so for your book expect an offer of $30-40.
