Comic shops are the worse bet. They will barely give you anything.
First, condition is key. "Great shape" comics in boxes without bags and boards could be VF. Which is not good for 90s / 2000s comics. Since they don't go for much unless key issues.
Second, find the key issues. Either sell those individually or group them with others in the series in lots. For example Marvel comics, Mutants, Justice League, etc.
Try eBay first. Or trading with other comic shops. My Comic Shop or Mile High Comics offer more when you trade and buy from them.
CGC if you have something really good. That will boost the value.
