HEY all iam just wondering if there is anyone out there that could help me put a price on some uk champion newspaper comics i have i have 165 issues from 1942-1954 if there is anyone out there that could help i would be greatfull cheers

I have a number of these somewhere, but I'd have to do some research to find a guide price. I'll see what I can find. What kind of condition are they in?

Maybe £2-3 each. Bit more for the wartime ones if they are in decent nick.

Condition varies some are in great nick and others have ware and tear from the years but all in all are in good nick for there year and i have all sorts from war to boxing cricket soccer you name it i probably have it i have noticed the prices vary from issue to issue some cost more then others would love to find out which issues exactly cheers

Hey mate just wondering if you managed to get this priceguide you speak of sounds good ????

Both guides I've checked seem to concur with Felneymike's earlier assessment. The 1942-1945 editions are probably worth around £4.00 to £5.00 each, the later ones between £2.00 and £3.00 if in good condition. You'd get the best price by a private sale though, a dealer will necessarily give you considerably less than the resale value.

So my good friend if you had these issues how much would YOU want want to recieve for them that's what iam trying to find out for all 165 issues from the 1942-1952 ..... your the maaaan

How much do you think i could get for them thru a private sale or selling them in the bulk stack

You'd probably get less selling them in bulk than individually, but it could take a long time to sell them individually and if you did it through an auction site like ebay you'd still be paying seller fees for listing them. Other sites are free to list but get little traffic. They are collectible, but that doesn't really help if you can't get word out to potential buyers that you have them. And they are a niche market. They're probably worth (as a bulk lot) potentially about £300 (that's a very rough estimate without seeing them) but I wouldn't count on selling them quickly.

Well what if i was to take a photo of some and e mail it to you so you an have a look and let me know what you think

That would be a help!

Okay well all i need is your e amil adress mate and ill be sure to send you some pics of them

You could see if compalcomics.com want them. Or try listing them as a lump on ebay and see where the bidding goes. Single issues of serial-heavy papers tend to sit around on there because nobody wants to buy just one that has a load of incomplete stories on, neither do they want to spend "loads" buying a ton of issues. BUT if a ton of issues are advertised in one lot people might jump at it.

Well i have narowed it down i have from the year 1944-1951 champion newspaper comics from volumes 45-59 all together i have around 185 books i will attempt to put them on either e bay or other site for 5 pounds a peace times 185 and see how it goes i thinks it's pretty fair

I think you'll need to start lower than that-buyers on ebay almost invariably want something for nothing. You're more likely to get a couple of people bidding on an item that starts at 99p and pushing the price up than you are to get one person buying something outright at a fiver. Also, on ebay the higher the starting price the higher the higher the insertion fee.
