Hi John, no problems.
During covid, I sold some higher value comics as i
noticed everyone was using their furlough money to buy
things and comics increased in value.
So things like McFarlane Spider-Man, Clone Wars 1,
Infinity gauntlet and a few others went then.

This left me with a collection of around 8,500 comics,
many had value, most did not.
I kept telling myself that I would have another key issue
sale, but I have just been too busy.

I saw an advert on Facebook by a guy who buys collections
wholesale and gave him a message.
I had catalogued about 5,000 of the comics and there were
still enough there for him to be interested.
We agreed a price, and he came and collected them
Saturday.

I didn't get anywhere near as much as I would have got if
I had picked out the most valuable ones, but if I did
that, I would have bene left with thousands of comics
that I would have had no chance of getting rid of. So I
took this option.

James,

  thank you for so kindly answering my message! 

Can I just take the opportunity of saying how much I enjoy your posts here on the forum. Seems as if we are often of one mind.
