ive been thinking of selling some of my old rare issues and just wondering where can u sell them ?

Hm.

I've heard of comic auctions in the US, I don't know if there's any here in Ireland. Maybe the For Sale board?

I'd have to say your best bet would be at a con or just a friend. I don't sell my comics so I'm not quite sure..

I would be intereasted in buying rare comics. If you could e-mail me a list of which comics you were selling.

Ebay or a convention is your best bet, though Ebay is so swamped with comics that unless they're genuinely rare, you might not receive their true value. There is a convention in the works for sometime before the end of the year in Dublin, as far as I know.

Or as an alternative, you could drop them into Sub City. I've never sold them any to them, but they will buy them.

Try conventions. Im not sure which ones, if you can mail that list to me that list too, i know a few people who set up in Corks WarpCon and Gaelcon every year, if you give me the list to il see if they're interested in buying some off you, they would be willin to come to you for them if you want

There are a few ways you can do this. As suggested you could make up a txt list of what you have and PM anybody interested. You could also put a list up on the sales board, or you could try ebay (you'll get more there usually than it's worth) or search for large comic franchises in the uk/ireland and see what they'll take them off you for.

Personally I find businesses like franchises will rip you off and the best way to do it is to either sell on Ebay or find a private buyer who's a real collector/fan of the stuff you're looking to sell. That way they're willing to pay full price and you'll get paid full price, rather than some shop buying for 10% of what they'll sell it for.

But we do try to stay away from the general selling of comics here as it would lead too much more into a sales forum than an area designed mainly for discussing comics.
