heh, sorry what I meant was the ones with potential (depending on what and when) include spawn. In general, no comics from the 90s are worth money, unless they are in the "magical" subset of comics that nobody wanted at the time, but they do want now.
I looked over the list and specifically you have batman #427 "A Death in the family" and that one sells at comic shops for $15-20 retail (so maybe they will buy it for 7 bucks if you are lucky). Looking at the gaps in the issue numbers, it would appear that the original seller picked through this collection for the $10 titles before he/she sold you the lot.
There are a few other $5 ones here and there, but as a whole it is strong in numbers, not really in individual value.
I would suggest you find some places that buy and go in one day with all the batman comics (including the robin ones), put "Death in the family" on top, and try to sell the stack (they will look through it, but they will have that book in mind when they offer and you can say "but $$$$, the top book is worth 10 bucks!".
Then go to a different place (or the same place with a different person working), with a stack of X books (x-men, xfactor factorx, etc etc) with "Days of future past" or "Children of the atom", or "Onslaught" on top and try to sell that stack.
From there group them by brand or title/character and continue the selling in medium sized groups. For the darkhorse/image ones, just group those all together.
Generally when they buy comics, the see one person and say $5 (or whatever) in their head and work their way up, so that initial $5 that they give you just to show up, you can get multiple times.
This is a trick my cousin taught me at half price books... if you have 3 boxes, sell them all at once and you will get 10 bucks, sell them seperatly and you will get 30 bucks.
And remember if you don't want to take an offer, don't take it.
And seriously this is the number 1 way to make your money back:
If you have a teenaged son/cousin/friend/neighbor who is *in* to comics, offer to pay him a commission based on how much he can get for the comics (you set the minimum)... If someone had approached me with that offer when I was 15, I would have probably raised about $1000. As an adult, I could probably get 200 if I was lucky.
