1. Take a look at the condition of the comic book. Mainly, the condition of the comic book would determine the price of the comic book itself. If the comic book is in good condition, if not in mint condition, the higher the price it will garner for selling. To do this, collectors usually take extra measures to keep their comic books in mint condition as much as possible for their resale value in the future.
Collectors either return them to their plastic coverings after reading the comic book, some just don't open them and sell them off sometime in the future without reading it, so the resale value would be higher to other collectors. If the comic book looks like it has gone through a lot of readings and the pages are all worn out, expect a cheaper price for the comic books resale value.
Another thing to look at would be the date the comic book was published. Many collectors charge high prices for comic books that have been discontinued in terms of publishing and are selling them off as very rare comic books so the price would be higher than those of recently published comic books; higher still if that old and rare comic book is in mint condition.
It helps to have comic books that are published as the first of their kind, meaning if you have, say, a Superman comic #1 in mint condition, then expect the price of your comic book to be very high in resale value.
2. Comparing prices with other collectors like going online or your local comic book shop would be the best places to ask questions on whether or not the comic book to sell is going to be cheap or not. If you plan to go online, there are many websites and communities that would gladly help you on pricing that specific comic book such as Overstreet Price Guide and Wizard Magazine to name a couple. These guides have state-of-the-art listings of your comic book prices.
3. Watch the comic book market. Comic book prices may fluctuate at times so keeping track of the comic book price to sell would be a good idea if you want your comic book to be sold at its optimum price and gain some serious cash. Comic book prices fluctuate in terms of how rare the comic book is or how good the quality of most comic books with the same title is appearing over the market. It is a good idea to befriend retailers of comic books, especially your local retailers, as they would know how much comic books would sell if you are planning to sell them to the public.
4. Comparing prices with different sellers by browsing through websites that sells comic books, such as eBay, would let you know and compare the price of that specific comic book you are trying to sell. This is also a good way to know if the comic book you own has a high resale value as it is or not. Another good way to compare prices with other sellers is by going to different comic book conventions. This is a great way to know retailers, fans, and collectors alike with the comic books that you are willing to sell in order for you to know the price or prices of your comic book or books.
5. If the comic book you sell was recently published, and you want to sell it as it is, try your local comic book shop so that they can give you a price on your comic book or your comic book collection so that the retailers themselves can fill in their series collection and sell them to other fans of the series you just sold them.
6. If you are planning to go for bigger money than your local comic book shop, try pricing your comic book by it's condition and selling it online. Be sure that your comic book is in top condition if you're planning to go for the big money. Collectors and fans alike of comic books sometimes (or all the time) use clear page protectors for their comic books to avoid degrading of the resale price, as sometimes even some smudges or even some folds to the corners of the pages can bring your comic book prices down.
