Thinking about selling my UY HCs

Post by PJaensch »

I am thinking of selling off some or all of my Usagi Yojimbo hardcovers, but am not really sure what would be appropriate prices or what issues would be of key interest to potential buyers.

I have several:

Circles
Shades of Death
Daisho
Brink of Life and Death
Seasons
Duel at Kitanoji
Tomoe's Story
Mother of the Mountains

All are in what seems to me to be pretty good shape (in used book terms I would call them VG+ or better). Daisho, however, has mildly damaged corners on the lower, outer corners of the boards (a problem that evidently occurred in shipping to me). I have straightened them as best as possible but the crinkle lines remain visible, of course.

Any suggestions for how to realize the best prices?

Thanks to all for your advice.

Certainly eBay can reach a wide audience. If you want to sell directly on this board I am sure people would be willing to offer you fair value. As it happens, I am missing Brink of Life and Death and Mother of Mountains from my own collection. You can PM me if you would like to discuss them.

If you don't mind, perhaps you could post the price you'd like and maybe we can make an offer. :wink:

What? and set an upper limit on price? Crazy talk!

Lol, truth is, I really don't know. I'd obviously like not to lose money. For the most part, I got these from used book dealers, and probably paid more than a savvy and patient ebayer would have paid. I will need to do a bit of research, but as you have probably also found, there are not a lot of these available out there in sufficient numbers and conditions to really get a sense for average market price.

I can easily be swayed by obscenely large offers, however - just putting it out there. :)
