Comics just don't retain value anymore. You're either buying them for the story or you shouldn't be buying them because you'll likely NEVER get your $4 back.

Especially now that digital is beginning to really sink in. People who just wanted to read that story can for much cheaper and don't have to worry about storage or resale, so there's a potentially huge loss of customers who buy older books out there. Couple that with the trades option, and the bin diving of the past is virtually killed.

I think the only way you can really get rid of them is either selling your entire collection to someplace like Mile High Comics or just flat-out donating them to a children's hospital for charity.

True enough, I may end up switching to digital as well when the Dr. Doom Exclusive comes out. Great points too because you're right they don't really sell. Although Uncanny X-Force seems to sell well on Ebay I've been noticing, other than that it's a sad sight.

Also with Marvel digitizing they're older stuff it makes even worse for LCS as well.
