Archie Comics
Well, i've been collecting Archie comics for a VERY long time and have accumulated a large box full. From them I have recieved so many memories that I feel I can't part with them, but I already told someone that I would sell them to him and now I feel really bad about it. I didn't think I would have a problem giving them away, but now I go through the box and think of all the years reading them with friends and collecting them. He's coming in a few days to possibly buy them. They would be going to a place where im sure they would love them as much as I did. Are they worth keeping? Should I keep my favorites and give the rest away? I know they are just comics, but they hold a lot of memories...

Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Gift Giving?
You can "borrow" them from your friend for nostalgia, right? But now they will technically be his. He'd probably understand if you don't want to part with them. Or just raise the price lol unreasonably high. In all seriousness, I think you should keep them if you have doubts.

I know it will seem hard at first, but you made a deal, go through with it. Maybe sell half and keep the other half

I love Archie comics, I have collected a few, myself! They are fun to read, but it depends on how much money you are getting for them. If it is alot of money, then I would sell them. If it's not alot of money then I would re evaluate if its something you really want to do or not. Its your decision, but if it were me, I would keep the oldest issues, because those will be worth the most, and then I would also keep some of my absolute favorites.
I mean, ask yourself some questions:
*do you need the whole box of comics
*how attached are you to them
*take out the comics that you would keep, and look at them alone,are you happy with the comics that you still have?
*do you think you will ever read them again regualarly
*do you think they will be worth more in the future (if so, can you find someone else to sell them to)
*will it possibly be something your family will read (such as current kids/(and/or)future kids or nephews or cousins
*do you really need the money
*are they in good condition (to be sold for more)
I did make up these questions for you for a reason, these are questions that will get your mind thinking, and hopefully help you make your decision. I know how dear things can be to you, everyone has something that they consider getting rid of. (although, nobody on here can truely tell you whether or not you have to sell them)
Good luck!!! tell me how it goes!
ps
the buyer (if you decide not to sell) will mostlikely not be too irritated, he/she must understand what it is like to make a tough decision, its (in my opinion) not rude to change your mind at all. :-)

I am a comic book NERD, and have to tell you, this question hits home.
It doesnt sound like you are keeping them for the value. That's good, because it is rare to be able to sell comics what they are worth.
For me, comics were my childhood. We didn't have TV, so my dad got us these books. It turned me into a better reader, then I started writing and had all sorts of adventures all because of comic books. While I believe they are a valid art form in America, you should ask yourself why you are thinking about parting with them.
If you have the space, you really dig them, and they help define a part of your past, I say keep them.
If you don't have the space (like me) you might have to make some cuts in the family. I wouldn't get rid of them all though, that might be something you'll regret.
Whatever you do dont get rid of them because your spouse or present relationship wants them gone, you'll hold a grudge forever.
