Hello, can someone give me a tip how to approach this
I emptied the attic with comics from my husband, a lot of single but also series (not complete) 
I can hardly start photographing them all 
Do you know someone who would like it in its entirety?

This is not a 2nd hand site or auction site.
If you live in Denmark (can't see it in your profile) I am convinced that there are buyers there.

This is LastDodo: The World's Largest Catalog & community for collectors
Manage your collection and sell your duplicate items.

What you can do here is:
1. create a clear profile (eg fill in country);
2. look up the comics in the comics catalog and place them in your collection, or if not interested, place them in a shop.

There are about 585,969 comics on LastDodo (LD) in the catalog. There is a good chance that all 1,000 copies are listed there, with full description and images.
Do a good search, then it is a matter of placing them in the shop, in the appropriate condition according to the description, and putting a price on it .
That's how it works here.
There are always collectors looking for first edition copies of many comics, if they are in excellent condition.
A little work, a lot of fun, and in the meantime you'll sell off and then. But you must be interested in the subject matter (comics) itself.

If you're really not interested, it's better not to start. Then look for a shop for such things in your area. If you live not far from Izegem (West Flanders), there are a few interesting shops there. They usually give something for it (depending on the condition of course).

PS: This also applies to all other attempts at advertising on LD. Make an account quickly and then ask who wants to buy something (or determine the value).
No, it doesn't work that way here.

Plaatjes-geen-praatjes  Hello, first think about whether you want to sell the comics for "value" or if you just want to save some nice pocket money.. The fastest way is in any case.. to put the albums in boxes, to a drive a comic book store in the area and sell them there, or you take a number of global photos (you photograph the more valuable titles separately) put it on the marketplace and let people bid on it, or you sell it per hero/series e.g. advertisement only suske en wiske , adv..only asterix..Or someone must have sent you a PM by now.

I'm from the Netherlands, thanks for the response, I think there are beautiful specimens in between, but I can't oversee it, and I can't walk around with it either
It's my husband's collection, but he can't take it anymore
I'm going to offer it in a different way, I'm not necessarily about earning it, but more that it's a shame to get rid of it like this
That is always possible
Regards Colette

Colette, I think enough advice has been given, I'm curious what you mean by offering in a different way? Perhaps we can learn something from that too.

Harry56 She will probably mean that she doesn't offer it on LD but on another "platform"

I understand that, one after the other tries to get buyers with 1 message via Lastdodo for "a collection" with as little effort as possible. On the one hand, who doesn't dare, who doesn't win, on the other hand, we must stop giving so much advice that people already know. Who doesn't know marketplace right now??? And hubby knows best how to sell it, it turns out. Ergo it was yet another attempt and who knows, there may be viewers in the Forum who have already sent a message to the new member "send some pictures" ...

I don't know, in case you mean I'm being unreasonable in my response, that is indeed possible. But if someone asks something and tips are given and an answer comes as not to peddle along, then it doesn't look very friendly. In case I'm mistaken, I hear it from pictures, not talk. Then I immediately apologize.
