Yeah, that's my thought. Maybe find out find out what a store would pay, then set that as the reserve on eBay.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
There's a message board on the publisher's site, so it definitely seems like there's a market. This sucker is definitely getting e-bayed.

"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert
Before you set your price on ebay, here are a couple of steps you may want to take to figure out the price:
1. The "book value" of the issue will be listed in The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide, with the most current listing being volume #35. You can probably go to your local comic store and ask to look up the issue in question. This is the price that most back-issue re-sellers start from when determining what they will charge. You should also have an idea of what condition your issue is in - NM (Near-Mint), VF (Very Fine), etc.
2. You may want to check a few online stores to see what they are charging for the issue (it will be higher than the Overstreet price). Mile High Comics is a good place to look.
3. Another good place to A) Price your issue and B) see if it is generally available is Comicspriceguide.com.
Good luck with your sale.

Does Overstreet list comic-related portfolios? I have one for The Crow, from Caliber Press, that was printed in ... '90? '92? Anyway, limited edition, blah-blah-blahdicakes, and I want to sell the thing, but I canNOT find any info on what it might be worth.

The information I find in my copy (which is from last year's printing), I see a listing from Caliber Press of The Crow. They list 4 issues, with issue 1 going for up to $55, and the rest going up to $30 per issue; there is also a Caliber Press Anthology containing the first appearance of the Crow printed in 1989 that is listed up to $70 for the first issue, but I don't see listings for portfolios.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oy.
I'm rationing my Global Frequency, and I just finished the first TPB.
The line "Daddy look! Spiderman's a girl and she's just like us." hit me right where I live. The rest of that story was a bit off. I think it was the least favourite of the lot.

Is that the Le Parkour one? If so, then... yeah.
Though I do find it interesting when he does these little experiments. There's at least one more high-concept one later on.
Hm, I should reread those.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I should read those. How many trades are there? Amazon only seems to have two.

That's how many there are. 12 issues, 2 collections.
