It can be really difficult to work out how much your old comic books are worth – my boyfriend collects them, and their value can vary so much!
How To Find Out How Much Your Comic Books Are Worth If you bought them within the past few years, the price you originally paid for them is quite a good indication. However, the best way of getting an idea of how much you could sell them for is by looking on dedicated comic book valuing websites such as Comic Book Price Guide.
Using eBay to find out prices isn't recommended - many people don't realize the value of the comic books they're selling.
