Should I Discount In
Order to Draw Customers?

      Running auctions at eBay may be a way to get started. Few collectors will want to pay the full price. Most collectors will be happy to purchase at 50%-60%  discounts for items they really want. Plan to sell most issues with a 50% discount and offer incentives at larger discounts too.

   

       Can I run this business with no computer skills?

      You would be where Reynold Jay was in 1999 . He began the business without a computer and had no skills either.

Old answer left intact however is no longer the way to operate. New way to operate is to simply purchase anything in bulk at a good price and re-sell one at a time. Lists are left for you to see as these are the titles that sell the best. Stay away from 90's collections  and collections that are not Marvel and DC. Valiant and Image comics will waste your time. Many collections are advertised as "No duplicates" however duplicates can be a good thing as you are interested in selling( not reading) and can expect a great price with duplicates. However you don't want 100 each of something that is  going to be difficult to sell. If negotiating a deal for something of questionable value , consider yourself a "junk dealer." Calculate that you can sell 100 junk comics for $10. How to pay for this junk? "I'll haul this away for free."  Be prepared to walk away from sellers who want too much.
