Comics on EBID

[illudius]

The good news for anyone selling comics on EBID is that it's picking up a bit. After a couple of disappointing non paying bidders I recently managed to sell several issues. Other sellers also seem to be having success. We're still not a EBAY levels but name dropping EBID on several comic book forums seems to be doing the trick. It there's anyone out there wondering where to place their comics for sale you could do worse than give them a run on here.

When you get them, make sure to interest them in comics too. I think a tag line of "Like stamps only bigger" should work. 8->

That is good news, I've been thinking about putting some comics on here but eBay keeps me too busy and it hasn't proven worthwhile in the past. But what comics are selling, if I may ask? Silver Age, Bronze? Or modern?

[illudius]

I've sold mostly modern although I know some people who have sold Silver Age stuff fairly successfully. If you have older items you might want to mention them on the Comics For Sale and Trade section on the US forum http://www.comiccovers.net/forum01a/index.php as they are fairly keen on them.

Thanks for the link, illudius! Looks like an interesting forum. I don't know about selling stuff on there, but you might catch me posting!

Well it appears that the comic sales have slowed down a bit on EBID, but a new influx of sellers has bumped the number of comics up to 7000+ so hopefully the variety and access to the US will encourage some more folks.

Are the categories ok. Just add any you need and we can have them up in moments..

We are starting to hit target markets with google ads at the moment, if you can come up with search keywords and text for the ads then we can get some going for comics...

The ads should be in this format
Headline (max 25 chars)
Description line 1: (max 35 chars)
Description line 2: (max 35 chars)

list as many keywords as you think necessary

You can get an idea for text for ads by doing searches for your keywords and viewing the sponsored ads down the right of the screen.

[illudius]

For categories I'd recommend the following

Under COLLECTIBLES | COMICS | Marvel add

Daredevil
Punisher
Wolverine

Under COLLECTIBLES | COMICS | IMAGE Add

General (Move all the current auctions into this)
Spawn
Tomb Raider
Witchblade

Under COLLECTIBLES | COMICS | DC Add

Justice League

Under COLLECTIBLES | COMICS Add

Dark Horse
Manga

Under COLLECTIBLES | COMICS | ARTWORK Add

Posters
Prints

REMOVE COLLECTIBLES | COMICS |WWE Wrestling

Ideally COMICS would be a top level category.

Cheers,
Illudius

I'd recommend

HEADLINE - 1000s of COMIC AUCTIONS
DS1: - Marvel, DC, Image & Indies
DS2: - Get yourself a EBID bargain

Key words would be

Comic, Comics, Comicbook, Marvel, DC, Vertigo, X-Men, XMEN, Wolverine, Superman, Batman, Witchblade, Image, Spawn, Dynamic Forces, CGC, Spider-Man, spiderman

Not sure if you can do ads with differing keywords. If so I'd try a similar format to EBAY and Silveracre

Examples would be

HEADLINE - Vertigo Comics
DS1: - Looking for Vertigo back issues?
DS2: - Bid at EBID, for a real bargain!
Key words would be

HEADLINE - Marvel Comics

Key words would be

DS2: - Bats and Supes are waiting at EBID.
Key words would be

HEADLINE - Image Comics
DS1: - Looking for Image back issues?
DS2: - Ascension to Zealot. All on EBID.
Key words would be

Let me know if these are any use.
