Selling Your Comic Books on eBay - Avoiding Big Mistake #3

There are 6 big mistakes most comic book seller make when selling their comics on eBay. Here is...

BIG MISTAKE #3. CREATING A DESCRIPTION OF THE COMICS YOU'RE SELLING THAT IS MUCH TOO BRIEF

Often when writing up a description of the comics you're selling, there is a tendency momoko keep your description brief and too-the-point. That is a big mistake.

It only leaves people to wonder... WHAT ARE THEY TRYING TO HIDE?

When selling your comics it's important to list all the faults. Don't hesitate to take the time (and the space) to describe to your prospective buyer exactly what they're buying.

If your comics have torn pages...say so.

If you comic has Gold Key comics restored...say so.

If that Silver Age comic has a creased spine....say so.

If your collection of Justice League comics are Viagra cocktail crummy condition....say so.

Also, say why they are in crummy condition. For example, if you left them in your basement and it was flooded, be honest, let your buyer know.

If you accidentally ripped the cover of the comic trying to remove some tape, say so.

Your potential bidders will appreciate your honesty and feel good about doing business with you. If you don't say enough about your comics, you will scare away potential bidders. So say as much as possible in your description.

Also, if your comics are 15-20 years old, chances are there is some type of flaw and experienced eBay buyers expect you to tell them what it is. If you don't, not only do you risk not selling your comics because they won't believe you...but even worse, if you sell your comics and they are disappointed the negative feedback they give you can kill your chances of having future buyers to trust what you're selling.

Remember, there are hundreds of comic books for sale, and you have to make the buyer want your comic more than all the others he can choose from. Tell him why he should buy yours. Write your description just like you would tell someone on the phone about the comic. Answer any questions the buyer might have in the listing. If you force the buyer to jump through hoops to find out about your comic they will just go on to the next listing.

Remember, the more you tell...the more you sell.
