Clearing out comic annuals

[Narj]

I have tonnes of old Dandy/Beano/Buster annuals from the late 1980s/early 90s and want to get rid of them... Local charity shop didn't seem interested, and I've noticed that some people sell them for a few quid on eBay, but for the small sums involved it hardly seems worth my time.

Is there anywhere else I can consider before I just take them all to the recycling place?

Cheers

Look up the peadiatrics ward at your local hospital. They'll love some comics I'm sure.

Also peadiatricians love them as well for their surgeries.

I had the same thing too... loads of old Batman comics. Posted here, no-one seemed to want them. I'd give them away free, too.

Don't support paedos.

Yeah, don't want to give them tools to tempt children away with!

Seriously though, good point, I'll see if there is such a ward/unit.

Unless they're rare ones, old ones and kept in really good condition I doubt people want them.

To be fair if you don't know their valuation then start taking lots of photos and create a listing anyway. Somebody might want them you never know.

I looked up a few, some seem to go for around £12-15 or so (the special edition ones) but it just doesn't seem worth the hassle of making all the listings. As they're so heavy as a job lot, sending them via mail would be a right royal PITA.

You can get couriers to pick them up, if you sell more than one you can also by pass eBay's ridiculous postage caps.
