Which store pays the most in cash or store credit for comic books?

I want to sell a stack of Mint condition comic books. All recent. All Vertigo titles. None are rare.

Is anyone familiar with the going rates for cash and/or trade at local comic book stores or used bookstores that deal in comics?

Even if you've only sold or traded in at one shop, please list the rate you got for them in cash or trade. If a few shops are listed, we can get some sort of consensus.

Thanks!

    You can get some sense of what's in demand, and what the going rate for SOME comic book issues by checking Ebay.

    Remember, just cause somebody is asking $100 for their copy of "Bone-Man" doesn't mean that you can get $100 for it, or that it will sell.

    Check out the completed sales to see what's sold for what amount recently.

    I tend to shy away from depending too heavily on the Overstreet Guide, as it is only a price guide that shops rely upon.

    And any shop that invests in a book expects to make a profit on it, and so will have to give you less than they can expect to sell it

    Don't know what Virtigo books are going for on the whole.

    But try Comic Castle for one... and walk into a few shops to flip through their back-issue boxes to get a sense for what they're asking for their back issue stock.

    Good luck.
