I've just put a load of mid nineties back issues up on ebay but does anyone know a better way to get them sold other than at a store. The kinda stuff I'm selling is great quality but with a low value, and as it stands it looks like I'm gonna make a loss.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

You could go the root by trying to advertise In your local " Trading Journal " or penny pincher type papers. This way you may find some people to buy some. Or ya could go to the Trading thread at the Community board and find someone to pull off some trades.
Thats my suggestions.

I sell unwanted issues on ebay every few months. I made a profit on Teen Titans #1-12 (latest series) but every other time I lost money. My goal is to clear out needed space in my closet, so it wasn't a problem for me.
It may be a sad realization for some of us, but comics are not an investment.

I have dumped huge amounts of comics on Ebay recently. Ultimate Spidey made money and Sin City made money. The rest went for below cost.
I had complete runs of Smith and Meltzer on Green Arrow and it sold for six bucks.
I only buy trades now so it doesn't really bother me. I need the space.
