COMC Honest Feedback for Sellers Thread

[thebrett]

I have read a ton of threads about people saying all their stuff is lowest on site

A ton of threads about how people aren't selling enough

I then go to COMC or follow the links in these threads and find that their supposedly amazing prices just aren't very good

So what I am proposing in this thread is that anyone who believes they have aggressive, sales driving prices can simply ask for their port to be reviewed by anyone interested in providing feedback

Ultimately my thinking is that
A) The more good deals that exist on COMC, the more likely buyers are to visit when making their decision on where to spend their hobby dollar

B) The more people in our community commit to buying on COMC, the more inventory churn there will be, the more sellers can accomplish their goal of increasing sales and the stronger COMC and ultimately the hobby can be

C) I would like some other people to provide feedback, because I feel like I am taking crazy pills when I look at people's Ports. Just because it is the only card on site, does not mean it is worth a lot

Ok, so we are clear... I believe that about 80% of my prices are really good. I also have about 20% top prospect or rare card inventory I think I can eventually get a premium for

I will get it started... TheBrett COMC (http://www.comc.com/Users/TheBrett,sp)

If you. Key word as happy with your prices why does it matter what or people think.
What's next home coming king polls.

I do not know what this means

The idea is that some people would benefit from some honest feedback on their stuff and potentially change their behavior resulting in improved results

I disagree 100%. The kind of people that this would help the most would never listen. You think JHS would give one once of thought to your opinion or mine? FTR, I'm about like yours, 80% lowest or close and 20% premium due to rarity, potential or only card listed on site.

I think your stuff seems really well priced for the site! From what I looked at you price your stuff lowest of available cards if there are other cards, which is what I do too. When there aren't cards I either look for comps on the site or set a price I feel is fair.

I try my best to be reasonable with low end autos and relics.

I only have any info on Baseball and your stuff seems all very well priced

If there are no others of the same card I generally make them .24 .49 or .74 cents based on who it is... Seems like it works ok

Low end port. I try to stay in the top 3 assuming nobody is running sales. I'm more picky now then I used to be. I used to buy up anything under 10 cents cause I knew I could quickly flip them for a few cents more. Get rich, no. But it bought a few PC items. Sadly the quick flip ended quicker then I realized and I got a couple hundered cards the will be tough to sell at cost. I dont spend the time on it like I used to but I still hunt... Just more picky.

[Swipe79]

I think the easiest way to determine if you have your cards priced right is if you sell through stuff. My port only has 2,100+ cards in it right now, but in the last 18 months I've sold over 7,000 cards - I've added 6,500 to the site (port purchases account for the rest). The first two days of this month, I've sold 60+ cards already.

I'm happy with most of my prices - generally try to be the lowest on site, but some cards I have a set price I want and it may be a little higher.

I know I have a few things overpriced but there are certain ones I'm not in a hurry to move and others that I like to put a little on the high side when I first put it on in case someone is looking for it specifically and willing to overpay. I like to think I'm pretty fair when it comes to offers too.

I notice you do eveything perfect when it comes to selling on comc and comc is perfect as is. Why dont you send in 1,000,000 cards if you make money on everything? I am being serious. If i was making so much as you are on comc , i would be buying and selling as much as possible since the money is right?

Comc is satisfactory right now but i send in cards and trying to build a $100,000 port. If i thought comc was perfect, i would try and build a $1,000,000 asap.

[VeedonFleece]

I like to think mine are priced to sell but obviously prices of prospects may vary! I typically sell a card every day and a bit, roughly - my total number sold is between 19-30 for 10 of the last 11 months. I only have about 300 for sale so I think these totals are satisfactory. I'm aware I'm being optimistic on some prices but you never know. Obviously it's much easier to keep track of things when you have a smaller port too. I'd like to move them more quickly but find myself prospecting far too often - I have as many cards 'not for sale' as I do available.

[wphill02]

I skimmed through everyone's ports that posted their links so I'll give a quick little note on each. I'm obviously no expert so take everything with a grain of salt.

thebrett: From what I looked at, seems your port is pretty fairly priced. You have a lot of plates at pretty good prices whereas a lot of other people would overprice them just because they are 1/1s.

Spastikmooss: Seems fair, but I think you'll just have to be patient with such a small port and wait for people looking for that specific player or set.

Amazingpacks: Seems like some of your high-end stuff is pretty overpriced but that might be intentional. I really don't know how much grading increases certain cards either so it's hard for me to judge those. As you said, you have plenty of low-end autos and relics priced very cheap.

rtcrules: With so many low-end cards, I think it's similar to what I said to Spastikmooss where you just need to be patient waiting for those player and set collectors but I would say your prices are certainly fair.

As I said, I'm not an expert but those are my thoughts. I think the biggest thing with everyone is staying patient because I know I have a tough time with that.

[Swipe79]

I'm wondering if you're ever going to answer the questions I asked you in the other thread - instead it looks like you're resorting to being a troll. If this were a thread about Sportlots, I'm sure you would show up and start telling everyone how it's the best thing since sliced bread.

Why would you try and build a $100,000 port? So you have $100,000 in BV sitting there? I send in what sells, it has always been my goal. If I was doing it perfectly, I would have 0 cards in my port right now as everything would sell as soon as it hit the site. I've had an amazing experience with COMC - has everything been perfect? No, it has not. However, I am 99% pleased with what they are doing for my as a seller and buyer. Why would I tell people otherwise, or constantly bellyache about the 1 thing I'd rather have them do my way? For what they are, COMC is the best thing out there - no one else offers what they do and they are very good at it.

If you look under user rankings, there is a percent sold category. I think this is very useful.

If you feel comfortable with the amount of sales you converted, that's really all that matters.

I am totally comfortable converting 50 percent of my submissions into sales. My average submitted card has a bv of 9 dollars and change. THis is something I also think is worthwhile to look at. I have never had a port sale and only do sales if they are free. I try to work with buyers when I can.

I for one, have seen nothing but improved sales the last 6 months....

Thanks. interesting stuff.

[thebrett]

Another thing I have begun doing lately that I think may be a solid idea

If I am more than 33% over the lowest ask, and I don't want to be the lowest... I just make my card not for sale for awhile. For example I have 100 or so Byron Buxton Base Bowman Chromes that I believe will see a huge spike in the next year. There is no point in paying a penny per card per month to list them at a price of like $5.74 when the lowest price is $3. I also do this when I have multiples of the same card. Why list 40 Alex Meyer Chrome cards when it will just cause others to see a huge supply and lower their price...

Just some thoughts

[k13]

~80% is overpriced but that's probably from all the low ballers.

"good" cards too high because everyone wants them.
"crap" cards too low because no one wants them.

Lot of ebay bins are just way too high and auctions way too low unless schilled.

I just notice most sales are for cheap cards. The high end just started appearing more and more recently so maybe it will take off.

But feels like most buyers are broke dikks.

I want to maintain a $100,000 bv port eventually. Doesnt matter if it is a small store or big box store, inventory needs to be constant to be successful.

Your happy with your system, great. main thing in life is your happy in what you believe in.

For me Comc is good, sportlots is good and ebay is very good. As for buying, comc is average, sportlots is good, ebay is great and all the other sites i buy from is great but limited in inventory. I wish i could do all my buying and selling from one site but it doesnt work that way. no site is perfect for me at this moment. comc actually is the most time consuming and most addictive.

Yes intentionally. I got burned on some high end cards from amazon sales and the extra 20% fee. A $500 sale on amazon nets only $340 if i cash out at the end. And it is tougher to replace some of the high end cards. As for the low end, cheap and replaced easily.

thanks for doing the review.

PS: Higher priced on speculation players and cards also.

[SpastikMooss]

As for buying, comc is average, sportlots is good

Two things:
1. I get that price is better on Sportlots than COMC, but in terms of the buying process I (and I think most people) vastly prefer COMC. Full scans of front and back, easy to search cards and add to card, make offers. Sportlots is okay once you get used to it but aside from you there aren't a lot of pictures up and it's a pain in the butt narrowing searches down to certain sellers/hoping that seller has the cards I want/need. The big allure to COMC has always been a bunch of consigned cards that have great scans andcan all be shipped in one package. I don't think Sportlots/Ebay/other site does that as well as COMC does and for that I've always loved the COMC buying experience most, even if it doesn't always give me the fantastic price of Sportlots or the instant gratification/auction win thrill of Ebay.

2. If everything is better than COMC (Sportlots, Ebay, other sites) then COMC isn't average. That's not how average works. I think you mean more like it's fair compared to good and great. But I get the idea haha.

I dont buy or sell on forums, unknown sites, facebook and the 1000's of other sites out there. i guess comc is way about average for buying and selling if i include all sites. lol

Haha well when you put it that way, yes. But in terms of sites you use, it seems like COMC is at the bottom for you haha. Which is just interesting to me because, pricing aside (and I know pricing is a big piece for some people), I don't think there's a more pleasurable site to shop than COMC. Just seems you feel differently

Yea I figured. I don't blame you there. I don't have anything as high end as you do but I do try to keep my higher-priced stuff a little over the price I'm expecting as well.

[Swipe79]

I understand the maintaining of inventory - I try and have stuff constantly processing so I can get new items for sale as often as possible. That's good enough for me. I just think about the amount of investment it would take to get to $100,000 and it's a lot more than I am interested in putting into this. This is a side source for hobby income/fun money - I work 50+ hours a week at my job, so there isn't time for me to sell things on my own at the same level I do on COMC.

I'm happy with how things are going - it's been an excellent option for me and I have made out very well doing my thing on COMC. Nothing is perfect, I've lost a little bit on a few cards, but honestly I've made a significant amount of money with little out of pocket expenses.

I'd agree that I get the best deals as a buyer on eBay. I buy in bulk there a lot and here on Blowout I pick up nice deals as well. For selling, COMC is my best option. I only have a handful of cards on eBay, because it's about all I can deal with as far as time goes.

Very interesting stuff. I'm at 80% sold on my consignments, not sure if that counts the cards I've added via port sales or not. If you rank it by BV sold, I'm at #385 on the list. Interesting to see who my neighbors are...

Consignors - COMC (http://www.comc.com/TopConsignors.aspx)

[thebrett]

I also have the goal to get to $100,000 in inventory and I also send things in every few weeks.

The main thing for me is continually reinvesting the proceeds of my sales into total value and adding quality, likely to sell items to my inventory.

I currently do roughly $1,000 a month in sales with $25,000 in inventory
Simple logic says that if I could get to $100,000 I could hope for $4,000/mo

If I can continue along that trend I could eventually have a pretty solid and somewhat passive income to go with my pretty solid and decidedly not passive regular job

I actually prefer trading and grading thru COMC as well because I have to go to the post office once for every 1,200 items as opposed to every day

I just want the best for the site and it's health because I am shoving pretty aggressively all in on it

Good discussion here

I got way over $500,000 in book value in my closet (we all know $500,000 in BV is probably only worth $50,000 lol). so the card part is not a problem, but i just need to justify the return on investment first.:confused:

[Swipe79]

I just think it's more about what you send in to get listed than how much you have listed. Having a $100,000 in your port of product nobody wants isn't going to get the results you want. That's one thing I spend a little bit of time on for each submission - making sure what I send in is going to be something worth sending in.

I am pretty sure its not based on cards you flipped. I think its just cards you actually sent in. Its a great way to judge yourself if your a big submitter.

Like you, I am extremely happy with comc. Made me a nice chunk of change since I started in October 2012. Sure, there are always things to complain about, but the positives completely outweigh the negatives!

[thebrett]

Does anyone else use the grading on COMC?

I have a 35 card order due April 15th

I sent their customer service a nice email today asking if they could possibly speed the process up. I anticipate submitting a couple hundred cards thru them in 2014 and would greatly appreciate any improvement

That batch in addition to the next batch I am sending will move me WAY up the leader board. I also have about 1/3 of my 4,000 card submission from Jan due Mar 12 that will also help

[cross4444]

Just because you have the cheapest price doesn't mean that there's a buyer out there who wants the card.

Good discussion here

3 years ago I was selling 6-7% of my inventory on COMC each month. Now that figure is 3-4% so things have definitely changed. One of my big differences is that I have a lot of vintage from my Tigers collection that I am in no hurry to move unless I get my price as I paid good money for many of the cards.

There seems to be an influx of new COMC buyers because I have had a couple of interesting recent sales. Sold a 2001 Topps Archives Willie Horton Auto for $21.75 yesterday after not being able to sell it for under $13 in a sale. I also sold a tough 1962 Topps High Number Rookie for full book of $80.00. It did not sell when I offered it at 35% off.

Other folks must be getting better at flipping because I am not finding all that many good flipping cards since Black Friday.

[thebrett]

I will say that there are a TON of sellers on these forums and there seems to be far less buyers

When I think about that I think about WHY I don't buy much on the site and the reason is that the best cards seem to go to eBay and COMC is the place for leftovers. That being said, I'm sending everything to COMC and not skimming the best for sales on here and eBay.

The other issue of course relates to the prices being asked. As mentioned, it's not so different from why I don't buy many cards I'd like to own on eBay.

Just think that if more people behaved as sellers the way they expect to be sold to as buyers the site would improve continuously

[k13]

What's the point of consignments on COMC?

How's that work?

I get it on EBAY but why consign on COMC?

[Swipe79]

You can't consign on eBay - unless you work through a third party consignment place (Sell Through Me shops). COMC basically does all the work of selling the cards - you just send in and price the cards. They scan front and back, host the cards on their site, and ship them when the buyer asks for them.

Hopefully comc spends some more money
On marketing to bring in more buyers. I've noticed the seller numbers increasing.

[mrwalken]

At 85% sold for consigned stuff.

The main metric I track is monthly storage fees relative to monthly sales. I would like to see storage fees stay under 10% of sales, and definitely under 20%.

I swear some sellers must have monthly storage fees above monthly sales based on their prices.

[bobthewondercat]

$100K BV won't net 4x the sales of $25K BV, it doesn't scale like that unless you keep the quality of the submissions constantly high, which is much more difficult at that higher volume.

You're better off submitting less, subverting the cashout fees by buying liquid high-end singles to flip on eBay, and have a constantly changing / rotating port, rather than an accumulating one.

The cards that don't sell stay in your port, those that do leave... this simple truism is why ports basically constantly degrade in quality unless you are always sending fresh material. And there's less and less material that is easy to sell on site (no copies or only overpriced copies).

Long story short, being successful on a large scale is harder than it looks. The site is really built for small to medium-scale consigners.

$100K BV won't net 4x the sales of $25K BV, it doesn't scale like that unless you keep the quality of the submissions constantly high, which is much more difficult at that higher volume.

You're better off submitting less, subverting the cashout fees by buying liquid high-end singles to flip on eBay, and have a constantly changing / rotating port, rather than an accumulating one.

The cards that don't sell stay in your port, those that do leave... this simple truism is why ports basically constantly degrade in quality unless you are always sending fresh material. And there's less and less material that is easy to sell on site (no copies or only overpriced copies).

That sounds right. But hopefully my mistakes and lower end experiments become less costly and the quality and knowing what sells make up for the rubbish that i send or sent in during the early learning curve stage.

I am still in the "sandbox" stage with my port trying to figure out what sells on comc. i got some of everything. auto,#ed, commons, inserts,graded, hight end, rubbish, flipping ,players,HOF,teams,rc, and non-sport. STILL DONT KNOW WHAT IS THE BEST CARDS TO SEND IN. :confused:

Why would my submission quality slip? If anything my submissions have actually improved and my next submission has a ton of Bowman Chrome auto's including color

[amazingpacks]

What bobwonder posted is correct. If you think about it, if comc doesnt find or be more buyer friendly the site will become populated with 10,000,000,11,000,000,12,000,000 or more cards eventually. The more cards will make it harder for a port to maintain "quality" or "uniqueness" and the port devalues naturally unless cards are being taken "OFF" the site.

Hope comc runs some type of promotion to get cards "OFF" the site more often.

Seems like this is a good idea and would be easy to do. Maybe remove the .25 charge per card for any purchases under .75 but have a minimum purchase amount of $10. This could be a 3-4 day promotion. Leave the $3 shipping fee as well. I bet a promotion like this could clear out a ton of the low end stuff from the site. Not sure if I explained it all that clearly.

Spring Cleaning Promo

* 3-4 day promotion
* No .25 charge for any card sold for under .75
* Minimum qualifying purchase of $10 (only cards purchased under .75 added to total)
* $3 shipping charge for total purchase.
* Any cards purchased for more than .75 can be included in shipping but each will still be subject to .25 charge at time of purchase.

Make it happen Moe.

Your post reminds me of something else that would be required. Buyers would have to take delivery or the cards within a 2 - 3 day window of the promo ending. If they do not, all purchased cards would still be subject to the .25 charge. The whole point of the promo is to 'spring clean'. That doesn't happen if flippers buy and relist.

So...if amazing buys a few hundred hof inserts (all $0.75 cents or less) and they all qualify for free shipping, it's just $3 shipping paid for those cards?

Let's say that's 200 (he said a few hundred so I'm going low here) cards. That's gonna cost quite a bit more than $3 to ship. Why would COMC want to eat that cost, especially when the 200 sales are all going to the seller and not COMC? It's not the worst idea, but I'm just saying there has to be something better...

[Addison]

I have enjoyed looking at everyone's ports seeing strategies and what people have to offer. I am essentially a rookie to this hobby with very limited funds to invest, so I tend to look to flip a card for a $1.00 that I bought for $.50 and so forth. I have opened a few hobby boxes, and have sent all the noteworthy inserts and autos to COMC.

With that being said, could someone give me some feedback on my port. I love the wealth of information this forum gives and I love criticism.

Thanks everyone, happy Monday!

I think your low-end stuff is priced really well. You seem to be the lowest or around the lowest on your stuff so now it's just waiting for someone to buy it.

On your higher end stuff, I think you have some priced way too high. I don't think you'll be able to sell the Brickhouse or the Austin with those prices. If you have them that high because you're hoping they'll go up in value then that's fine but if you're trying to move them quick they're too high. I really like how you have the Buxton and a couple of the others priced though. The Buxton seems to be going for a solid $200 on ebay so by having it at $250 you're giving someone the chance to overpay while also being bale to take offers and negotiate to get a good price.

Very interesting stuff. I'm at 80% sold on my consignments, not sure if that counts the cards I've added via port sales or not. If you rank it by BV sold, I'm at #385 on the list. Interesting to see who my neighbors are...

Posted by Swipe79
I am 492 and I have sold 33% in 8 months on the site

Feel free to review my junk - #196 if ranked by BV, selling through 80% of submissions since Nov 2011. People smarter than I am can read more into the metrics - I simply sell crap at low prices and am happy to get what I can for them without doing a ton of work and dealing with post-sale headaches.

Thanks for the response! Honestly, the higher end stuff, I'm somewhat sitting on until the time is right. If they sell, well good for me. But if they don't, no harm done!

Prior to making a post in this thread, I repriced almost all my inventory, and within minutes, 2 items sold. Pretty neat how fast the buyer response can be when you're priced competitively.

[LSUNatChamps]

Great topic. Feedback on my port would be greatly appreciated. I try to remain as the lowest price on site for all of my rads and sales have been great as of late - baseball has really picked up. I'm always looking to sell more so please let me know what you guys think I can do better!

[thebrett]

Just filled a medium flat rate of the best submission I have ever sent

I anticipate this batch, plus the 36 cards I have in for BGS thru COMC and the 1,000 or so remaining on my current batch to put me in the $40k range

I am also working with the local shops to develop better access to large quantities of inventory. Opening wax is NOT the way to go.

Would like to see COMC do some kind of spring cleaning deal, and my thought is that they could charge actual shipping plus $1 for supplies or something?

For example, this box I am sending will be under $15 to ship and if these were all base paper there could be 1,650 cards here. If I had to pay $412.50 + $3 to get these shipped to me, I would never do it.

In fact can we start a Spring Cleaning Petition or something?

Where is my man Moe? I know he was at work today because he responded to my BGS grading question.

If you find any Seneca Wallace in those local shops (rarer stuff anyways, especially 1/1, I have most of his more common stuff) send it in and I will grab it from you! Or just cut out the middle man hahaha.

[thebrett]

Went and found this old thread after reading about some other users on here having "sales" only to see their terrible prices

[phosgene]

most of mine are at or near the lowest. if it isn't, it's because i think the card will sell higher in time. with vintage sometimes i spot a nice card and mark it up to where similar condition cards are priced. my port is all site purchased cards, no submissions yet, so it is basically a curated collection. plenty of low end but not really super junky like you can find. i do sales if they are free. i have the maximum flexibility on offers.

i basically grow my port with the proceeds of sales, so one way to possibly help your sales is to buy my cards :)

[addiesdaddy]

Feel free to look at my and give feedback. Like phosgene my port is all cards i bought on the site. Its pretty much solely prospect and rookie cards, mainly bowman chrome.

Some is the lowest but some are throughout the price range. All of these are flips so sometimes it just depends on where i bought at which determines where i price at.

Also i know that with a bunch of my cards at some point there will be a run on some of them like thebrett said regarding Buxton chromes so no point to price at the bottom when someone will buy a bunch.

I feel like my port is quite low on most stuff. Running a 60% off sale to get stuff moving.

tattooelement's items (http://www.comc.com/Users/tattooelement,sh,i100)

Any input/feedback is appreciated.

That said, I agree that most sales seem to be inflated prices.

I like to check out port sales and see if any decent deals pop up. Some of them are extremely inflated to give the illusion of a deal. Since I've been checking I've seen 2 nice deals. I was too slow to act on them though.

[37Jetson]

There have been some good sales this weekend on vintage. I have purchased a whole bunch 1957-1962's from lvmy4kidz, highgradeplus and phosgard.

[sabrgeek]

I sell quite a bit every month and always send in more

In addition, there are some cards I'm the highest, some in the middle and some the lowest

[fungi2510]

I try to be lowest on site on almost everything. I have sold out quite a few times, and just got back in. I know I do not have a lot of cards right now, but am working on getting it back up. I really think that if I keep finding ports that are already the lowest and getting them for 1/2 off, I will eventually have a ton of cards on there again.

[smalltown]

When i post my cards i'm always the lowest listed. 100% of the time on every card. But, with that said i only reprice my inventory once a month, so there are always cases where i'm no longer the lowest. If you wait me out - in 20-30 days i'll be the lowest again.

Clicked on 4 of your cards, 2 lowest, 2 were second lowest. Both were lower by the same seller lol.

[kevinshreves]

My prices tend to be all over the board and I know it. Most low-end items I list at $.70 and don't care if I am highest or lowest. Mid-range I feel I am pretty competitive, and then on the higher end I am a tad high, but generally it is limited population grades or stuff ya dont see often.

I hope they do some type of sale, my April sales have been my lowest in the last couple of months.

I continue to make my lowest price guaranty on identical cards. Feedback appreciated.

I just went to your baseball section. I purchased 2 items and I will say your prices when the 50% is factored in are very solid. My feedback is this... When I look at your pricing and do not know you accept 50% they aren't appealing at all. I would take a quick look and move on to one of the other thousands of sellers. My feedback would be to consider lowering pricing to around 20% more than you will accept and auto accepting that. I think you would see some stuff move quickly. As it is, I am not sure much if anything is lowest on site, which unfortunately is how most buyers make their decision

[thebrett]

Just took a look at your baseball section. I will say overall the pricing is very solid. One thing I see is a trap I fall into where I confuse lowest on site, with the right price. I know I have over 1,000 items that are unique to the site, and I have to keep a realistic approach to their value. I do not think it is happening a lot in your port, that Nelson Cruz for $24.99 just kind of stood out as maybe a $10 card. I would guess you have strong and consistent sales due to your realistic approach to pricing overall.

Haha, very nice stuff in your baseball port. My honest feedback is it looks like you just price things generically and figure if people want them they want them. Lot of variety, ton of unique items. Nice port, would be interested to see how your sales are with this strategy.

I hear you i wish there was a way to show you take offers without making sale promotions. Also i have had quite a bit of good sales either from amazon or regular sales in general at the pricing i have most cards. Some items being only on site i might list a little higher until more show up. but thank you for the input.

[OLDPAPER]

I have repriced everything over the past week or so...I am only reviewing offers of 10% off so I lowered most prices to reflect an honest price upfront. Some I am lowest...some right in the middle...some a bit high as some stuff should just not be given away...feedback appreciated! thanks

[Jonathon M]

I try and be the lowest on cards unless there is one with a really low price, then I'll price below next highest on moat occasions... I like a bit of everything in my port and I also list on amazon and have 20% auto accept and review offers between 30-40% depending on setting... I don't like to counter so I price with the idea of accepting all offers for cards under $10 and for most others. My higher priced cards are mix of pc and stuff I like, so I will counter on cards I am happy to keep, but will accept on most others. Been relatively quiet this month after my best two months, so any feedback appreciated

[smalltown]

Clicked on 4 of your cards, 2 lowest, 2 were second lowest. Both were lower by the same seller lol.

[Tsquared8]

Being that I've only been on the site for a week, I welcome any feedback on my prices I only have 100 items so far but I think about 90 of them are lowest. I have a shipment of 400 ready to go for processing and would like to be more confident my prices are ok

I can only speak to your baseball stuff with any level of expertise but your items seem fairly priced, your products are new and the players are good popular names. Should do well

Also, looks like you might be a Yordano fan, which makes you very likely awesome

[VanZile17]

I try to be the lowest on the site, the amazon thing has bitten me a few time with that strategy though. I've sent almost no high-end in, though I did just try it again with a Gypsy Queen Abreu auto...zero offers in more than a week.
Anyway, any feedback would be appreciated!

I don't have much, most of my cards are priced to sell, and I am very fair with accepting offers made. Most of my higher priced cards are either prospects or low #d cards that I'm not really in a rush to sell, and you never know! May just find a collector who is willing to overpay on a card he really needs for his collection.

I sell on amazon too. Have to account for the 20% cushion.

I do well with the higher end stuff (100 and up). I suppose this is bc people would rather buy something than cash out. Don't blame them...

[NeilCO]

Every day I go into my Inventory Manager, sort by "Price Modified Long Ago", and lower the prices on my cards. Sometimes 10 cards in a day, sometimes 500. Sometimes by a nickel, sometimes by several dollars, and 90% of the time I make sure I'm lowest on the site. And yet, my sales seem really low lately while others say their sales are high. What's going on? Is it a problem with the inventory (my Goodwin stuff sold like hotcakes a couple years ago but that well seems to be running dry.)? HELP!

I think and I'm having the same issues; that my inventory won't really move until the next sale special. I suspect many buyers are waiting for the spring cleaning special which was promised but never delievered.

And since in most of the country, Memorial Day counts as the beginning of summer -- there won't be the promised spring cleaning sale.

Hate to say it, but if you promise a sale, you better deliver said sale

Ok, I've been slacking on this. I'm surprised more people aren't giving feedback too

As for your stuff, I'll qualify with I really only know baseball

The trick it seems to COMC is to have the cards people want at the time they want to buy them for a price they are willing to pay. Success requires all 3 factors to line up OR one of the factors to weigh very heavily.

Your stuff seems to meet the price they are willing to pay at a reasonable level... That is to say I think your pricing is fair.
As for the stuff people want to buy... There is really no motivation to buy Michael Young currently even though your selection is great.

Basically you would need to push your pricing to a level where people decide they can't afford to NOT buy in order to move those. Or you will need to be patient and wait for a buyer who wants Michael Young.

Overall I would say your port is set up fine for slow steady sales in my opinion

I looked at your basketball and you're right, your prices are competitive against other comc items.

Some may still need to be a couple of scales lower. For example, your (Henry Sims (http://www.comc.com/Cards/Basketball/2013-14/Panini_Titanium_New_Wave_Signatures/35/Henry_Sims/7234149)) is competitively priced but might only move at a significantly lower price (see thebrett's analysis above). There are a few factors in play to sell and players with less exposures would need items priced accordingly.

I think some buyers are waiting for a sale before splurging but I think your slow sales in Basketball cards may have more to do with your pricing, a lot of the stuff I looked at you were more then double some times 4x more than the lowest available

Just now went and took a look.

Here is how I shop... Go to port, select Baseball, sort by Print Run.

I looked at yours, and you have a 50% off sale... I would say you have the prices people are willing to pay part down, but I didn't see a lot of hot seller players. I would guess because I have seen your stuff in my site travels that is because you have fair pricing so when a player is in demand they all sell...

All of that to say, with your existing inventory I don't think you will be setting any personal records but the stuff will eventually move when the right buyer comes along.

Really really good stuff at very fair, seemingly researched and well thought out pricing.

I personally think we need more sellers like you on COMC to draw in more buyers. The more unique and high quality items people find on COMC, the more often they will visit and start to form buying habits.

If you ever run a significant sale send me a PM and I will go to town. Your pricing is right in line with where I would price stuff

[thebrett]

Every day I go into my Inventory Manager, sort by "Price Modified Long Ago", and lower the prices on my cards. Sometimes 10 cards in a day, sometimes 500. Sometimes by a nickel, sometimes by several dollars, and 90% of the time I make sure I'm lowest on the site. And yet, my sales seem really low lately while others say their sales are high. What's going on? Is it a problem with the inventory (my Goodwin stuff sold like hotcakes a couple years ago but that well seems to be running dry.)? HELP!

NeilCO's All Items - COMC Card Marketplace (http://www.comc.com/Users/NeilCO,sh,i50)

PS- Cool thread idea, thanks.

I have bought quite a bit from you in the past year. My guess is you sell your higher end someplace else, and try and send your 75 cent to $10 cards to COMC. I only really looked at baseball, and it appears you have some really nice stuff in other categories so I could be way off base.

Your stuff is priced to run a sale, and I would guess you have decent consistent sales. One piece of feedback I would share as a seller is that I often do not keep multiple items priced over 75 cents live at the same time. I know it is only a penny storage fee per card, but I have thousands of items which does add up... I sometimes keep multiples of a card live if I think there is a good chance someone will make a buying run (Bryce Harper Chrome) but on less high turnover stuff I usually keep my penny instead of giving it to COMC.

Overall, nice stuff

[OLDPAPER]

Always willing to accept feedback....thanks in advance!

Yes you have, and thank you!

The fact that you say my stuff is "priced to run a sale" tells me I need to keep on lowering my prices. I'm negative over $100 right now so no sales in my immediate future. Some of these cards did go live while I was running sales of 30-45% off, so in those cases I did sometimes set my prices a little higher (only for new cards) to account for the sales. I think I've lowered most at least once since then but I will keep going round and round.

Thanks for the advice about not having multiple copies for sale! I will try to weed some of these out...

And thanks for your feedback!

Just took a look at your basketball stuff (pricing i know the best off the top of my head). And i'd agree with the above statement. You're a bit high on a lot of pieces - not crazy high - but high enough to make people look for savings elsewhere (ebay).

A 25% sale and your stuff looks a lot more attractive.

[teosdesserts]

I'll take any feedback.

IMO the prices on your $20+ items are usually pretty good. I picked up your Wiggins and Parker auto's during your last sale. There's actually a few that are on my watch list waiting for you to run a sale, lol. I find the prices of your other stuff a tad high but not unrealistically high, they'll sell but you need to wait for the right buyer.

[htn315]

I'll take any feedback.

Most of your basketball cards are priced pretty well compared to other stuff on the site, but I didn't see much stuff that people would be actively looking for so you'll just have to play the waiting game or do a fire sale and let somebody else wait it out.

[elijahdf11]

I would appreciate some feedback if anyone doesn't mind. I am thinking about sending in another shipment soon so feedback would be very helpful. Thanks.

[thebrett]

Always willing to accept feedback....thanks in advance!

I may come back later to leave more feedback, but I am buying a couple dozen items from your 50% off sale so I think that is about the most positive feedback possible

Thanks! Now that you mention it, I realize that I have priced about a thousand new cards in the past week and most of them are basketball. I often price cards on the higher end of what I think is the right range first, then lower them or run sales later. The new cards haven't been lowered yet. The more I think about it the more I think I could benefit from just pricing a little lower from the beginning, to hit the "right price at the right time" that thebrett mentioned above.

Thank you for your purchases! That makes sense, as I generally check eBay for higher end stuff and try to match or get below, whereas for lower stuff I just say, "meh... $2.70?" Anyhow, if it helps--feel free to make a lowball offer, and it will tell you the minimum offer I accept. That is also my auto-accept, so if it seems like a fair price you can get a nicer deal than what is listed. Otherwise, if still too high, I'm sure I will be lowering many cards this long weekend!

Thanks for all the feedback, guys!

[phillies347]

Need a little feedback. I have my port up for sale and the lowest ill take is $600. Is that a fair price for it or am I not giving room for profit?

[OLDPAPER]

I appreciate that feedback most of all...thanks!

[BBallCT]

Someone else should chime in here because I know nothing about basketball

That being said it looks like you have some nice numbered and auto'd cards of relevant and possibly investable players. Should be a good recipe... But what do I know

Thank you, appreciated.

[brandonlec]

Anyone want to give feedback on my port? I get about one sale every 2-3 days. And 80% of the time that sale is for less than 0.75 cents.
Auto accept is set to 35% off. I allow offers up to 50% off though.

Side note: I know my port is not the highest quality stuff. All that is in my photobucket. I use COMC for my low and mid end stuff and hang onto/trade with my high end goodies.

The bolded part surprises me as I thought I was slow sometimes saleswise but I have sold 165 cards or there abouts this month. Almost 3,000 cards at what looks like fair prices. many I checked were lowest and a rondo /10 patch for $20, are you getting offers that you are declining? ... Granted, your prices are not going to induce flippers but are very fair for collectors.

I guess some stuff in your port has no demand unless blown out (we all have this problem) but maybe the fact that COMC traffic is a fraction of ebay is what holds the place back the most. Many cards sit on comc for less or at ebay auction prices and it's enough to drive you crazy sometimes.

Do you list on Amazon??? Maybe instead of 35% off auto accept you could lower the mid-higher end stuff by 10-20% and have auto accept at 20%... not sure mate

[Jonathon M]

Feedback on my port from another's point of view also appreciated

I try and be lowest when multiple cards on site unless lowest is really low or card has strong and consistent sales history.

I have offers set at 35% off and accept most and have auto accept at 20% off.... I have sold 167 cards this month for $527 but I have experimented with increased promos this month and $18 worth of promos (6 days with base rate 49% off some less) has brought in over $300 worth of sales, but obviously lowers the margin....

However, when I have a cpl of slow days I do question my strategies and do need to reprice inventory that has been sitting a long time.

However in less than 12 months I have built my port from under 50 cards to what it is now and have sold over 1000 cards in that time for very approx $4k

I also use Intl mailbox so some of my higher cards are pc and may be overpriced but I would rather let them sit then sell them at ebay auction prices

I feel however that some main influence on sales including traffic levels and mismanagement of organisation are out of our hands and these at times are sources of frustration

Any feedback appreciated

I do sell on Amazon!! An Amazon sale comes once every 3-4 weeks lol.
I don't decline many offers.

I'll lower prices across the board later this week and see how that goes.

Anyone else have thoughts on mine?

Here's my feedback on your basketball section. I've looked at your port a bunch of times in the past (probably because you post in the ebay/comc spam section) I think your prices are fair but not really priced to move. Most of your items are pretty competitive relative to other copies on the site but some are still high relative to other venues and similar alternatives. For example the Jae Crowder Threads rookie auto, you are the lowest available at $3.99 but if a buyer just wanted a Jae Crowder auto rookie there are a lot of cheaper alternatives like the Absolute for $2.49, Select for $1.40, Limited for $1.25 etc etc. So that card may not sell until somebody is specifically looking for that card. Overall prices aren't bad, mostly targeted towards collectors not flippers.

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. I agree, I target collectors and not flippers, even though I find a lot of lower end gets relisted when I sell for 40% off... I guess I'm not really in the price everything to move camp and would rather wait until someone is looking for that specific card in most cases, However, there are definitely some instances in pricing where I will consider alternatives, especially with low end ugly sticker cards (those threads are actually quite nice on cards where the contenders are pretty ugly stickers).... Thanks for your feedback again bud :)!

[SpastikMooss]

Hey this got bumped! Cool!

It's funny to see the comments on how I used to sell...now I mostly build to flip ports quick so my cards look weird a lot. I mean they're always lowest on site and I always have 50% auto accept on (unless they're like 6 cent cards) but lowest on site doesn't mean lowest on the web.

Anywho, I'll have to check out some of your ports!

[fungi2510]

I still would like feedback on my prices if possible.

[BBallCT]

I still would like feedback on my prices if possible.

I took a look at your basketball, overall your prices are nice. I feel like I could negotiate on some items if need be.

The Mike Scott Threads is a tad high, makes sense with playoffs and still priced against others on COMC. Otherwise seems reasonable.

[Monarchman27]

I will take some feedback on mine. I think this thread was a fun, unique thread. Thanks Brett

[BBallCT]

I looked at your autograph basketballs and I think your prices are fair. All items I randomly checked were either the lowest or the only ones on comc. I also like the assortment of players.

I'd say your target audience are collectors, although you have fresh collectables that flippers could target.

[JCC6603]

I'll take any feedback people have on my port. Thought about doing a port sale but don't think I could get what I need to out of it.

[Tyrian]

I've been considering selling my port, but would take feedback on my port as well. :) I do need to take a few hours and re-look at pricing on many, but what do you think?

[BBallCT]

I'll take any feedback people have on my port. Thought about doing a port sale but don't think I could get what I need to out of it.

I like your basketball port. Your prices are very competitive, often the lowests on comc and the assortment of players is solid

Nice job.

Thanks for the feedback. As my prices are near the lowest on the site on almost all items, what is a realistic price I would possibly get in a port sale?

[Dragonman]

I buy alot of ports...Just glancin through it real quick I would guess $250-$275

[Swipe79]

I'd be curious for an opinion - I like what I do, but could always use pointers.

[surefire56]

Any thoughts on these two game used cards? They are both unique and I believe carry a premium... However, they probably just get lost on Comc...

[adamdavidson47]

Feedback please. 50% auto accept is on, which is why my higher stuff seems well, high.

Question: is having my stuff stored remotely having a big effect on my sales? Do people care about that when buying small cards?

[cocoscards]

My sales have been down quite a bit for the last 3 months and I have not really been doing anything differently than I had in the past and would really appreciate any comments as to what I need to do to turn things around.

I am strictly in pre-1980 vast majority baseball some hockey and have tried to keep my port stocked with higher quality cards. I have not spent much time trying to reprice my cards to be lowest but rather try to set the price right when the card is listed. My approach has been to set the price so that my card is the best combination of quality and price. I have run sales, I do accept offers (right now will look at offers 68% of list and auto-accept at 78% of list). I have hard to get cards, graded cards and try to keep a large number of commons in each year.

In any event I would appreciate your comments and better yet some purchases.

Increasing price and turning on auto accept doesn't really work unless buyers know about it so if you're going to play the mark up then discount game you should spend the $3 a day so people know about it but I would recommend building up a bigger port before doing that. Doing daily price updates to ensure you're the lowest available on each card you own is cheaper and more effective but it's time consuming.

I noticed you are in Canada as well, when you ship stuff, do you send it to the Canadian or US COMC warehouse?

[htn315]

Thanks,

US warehouse but I ship when I'm in the US picking up my mail. US flat rate priority box cost half the price and takes less than half the time.

[adamdavidson47]

US warehouse but I ship when I'm in the US picking up my mail. US flat rate priority box cost half the price and takes less than half the time.

Yeah. I ship to Canadian warehouse, it only takes a couple days, but it costs roughly $25 to ship a box express.

I'm working on building my comc up. I just started a month ago or so. Sending in 100 at a time here and there.

I usually send in 1000 at a time, standard shipping was about $30, express was like $45-50 and US priority was $15 so it didn't make sense for me to ship from Canada. You might want to rethink your strategy a bit, your per item cost seems way to high for the type of inventory you're sending in. I would suggest sending in larger batches to reduce the per item cost.

You mean send in more to save on shipping? COMC doesn't offer anything less than .25 per card, do they?

[thebrett]

This thread has become a pretty entertaining read, thanks everyone for your contributions

I would love to see more and more members sharing their buying and selling philosophies and giving us a peak behind the curtain

Some take always for me from this thread are

1) COMC naturally creates confusion between "lowest on site" and the correct price. Lowest really only means it's the cheapest one people are not willing to buy. It is frustrating because something with one copy is falsely inflated and a good card with hundreds of copies is depressed.

2) COMC's flipping functionality almost guarantees there will be very few truly great deals. I personally buy anything and everything I see that is 50% or less of what I think it should be sold for. That means that I personally keep a hundred or more people a day from getting a solid deal. Of course if I didn't do that someone else probably would. Basically the best deals go to flippers and decent deals go to collectors

3) There are a lot of people offering very fair, very nice cards on COMC and the perception that everything is overpriced is not accurate... Of course point 2 also means very few things are wildly under valued for long

4) Auto accept is confusing and seems to hurt sales. I wish COMC could add 20% for Amazon sales so everyone didn't have to inflate

I've sold on ebay for a couple of years now, and just started selling on COMC about a month or so ago. Totally different ball game, lol. I'm still getting used to COMC and trying to figure out the best way to move my stuff. My strategy was to try and sell a few higher priced items (5-20 bucks approx) to cover costs, and then just blow the rest of the stuff out. So far, not really working great. I've sold a few things for 10 or more dollars, but not as many as I'd like. After my Classified Ad runs out today, I'm going to put my prices back to where they should be and take my 50% auto accept off.
Also, thanks for your purchases lol.

[wphill02]

My selling philosophy has changed a bit since this thread started. I've continued to try and keep my prices the lowest on the site but I rarely allow 50% offers anymore like I used to. I'm usually somewhere in the 65-70% range on offers allowed now. I just got sick of getting 50% offers on cards that weren't overpriced and then getting my counteroffer that was reasonable outright rejected(although this has happened to me a few times recently even at 65% offers). This way I'm in a position where in most cases I'll accept any offer made, especially on low end cards. I think it has also helped me to not overprice my high end by quite as much leading to a more few of them being bought at the listed price. I keep my auto-accept at 80% because I figure that's what I would get if it sold on Amazon so if someone offers that on COMC then they should get it automatically.

[brewcrew82]

Question: is having my stuff stored remotely having a big effect on my sales? Do people care about that when buying small cards?

Yes. I avoid these Cards. I only have 23 Shipments this month BUT items stored Remotely just arent worth the extra 10 day wait. I would rather buy cards on site that are shipped faster.

And shipping is back too what it was FAST..

3 days Packing time.(Good Job COMC)5 orders 5/25,All Shipped 5/28
Around 200 Cards

Hope that helps.

[htn315]

You mean send in more to save on shipping? COMC doesn't offer anything less than .25 per card, do they?

Yes, plus you can also wait for processing specials, they've ran 1-2 per year over the last few years so if you don't have a lot of new releases, it might be worthwhile to wait and save, it's not a lot but it makes a difference when you're trying to move $1 cards.

[jetscollector10]

All right. Put me down. Feel free to judge me and look at my port. Be honest.
I am aware some of my $15 ++ cards aren't the cheapest on the site. I am not looking to move those fast. But anything $15 and under I try to move quickly and fairly.

[yetibon]

My general selling philosophy is to list cards that have multiple copies on site for near lowest current price. Those that are cards where mine is the only copy get set at various default prices until I have the time to look them up on ebay. I actively adjust prices weekly and most weeks lower the cost of every single card by 10 cents or so until I get to the lowest I'll accept. This has proven to be a decent process as I'm selling a steady stream of cards - mostly at minimal prices. I think a lot of flippers get my cards that have dropped under a $1 and relist them and make some profit - but I'm happy with that. Stuff at the top end of my list is overpriced but that is just because I haven't figured out what to price them at yet.

With that said, I'd be happy for any feedback. I will attempt to do the same for others on this post this weekend.

thanks!

[brandonlec]

I redid about 1/5th of my port's prices, and have sold a ton of the readjusted items! Wow! Definitely worth the time to research and change

I would love some feedback on my port. I try to be the lowest on the site- I am pretty sure I am the lowest on all my cards in my port right now. Feedback would be very appreciated though since I am going to send in another batch of cards soon and any advice would help a lot.

[runeatfish]

I had pretty good luck with doing a 10% off sale last month. I just started another one, should start later today.

[phillies347]

Would like some feedback on my port. 20% auto accept on permentately. Alot of lower end cards priced to sell. Are my prices reasonable?

[BBallCT]

All right. Put me down. Feel free to judge me and look at my port. Be honest.
I am aware some of my $15 ++ cards aren't the cheapest on the site. I am not looking to move those fast. But anything $15 and under I try to move quickly and fairly.
jonnyg1014's All Items - COMC Card Marketplace (http://www.comc.com/Users/jonnyg1014)

I looked at your basketball rookies, they're effectively priced at the higher end. It can work at times if you plan to be patient, but some items had 3+ cheaper copies on the site. Some copies can be found twice cheaper. I'd recommend that you lower those prices, maybe by a third in some cases (especially for the offseason).

Pricing can influence your brand, so be careful of turning away future buyers.

I liked the collection of players, a few caught my eye.

[mcgahee21nfl]

I'm pretty positive now after a couple years that COMC is a complete waste of time for selling items over $25.

Unless you have new or hot items, that you are going to have comparable to eBay sales, they won't get sold.

I probably have had a few hundred items at $25 or more, and have only sold a handful of them.

Granted, my prices aren't comparable to what I would get on eBay if I sold them at auction, I would say the majority are within parameters that I would get via best offer on eBay within the same time period.

COMC great for the lower end, $25 or less, terrible for the higher end. That being said, since theres no real "best offer" it becomes a buyers paradise given the volatility nature of cards, and and forcing of competitive pricing to get a card sold.

Sadly, for the most part the people buying on COMC are the people who are selling on COMC. That means, in order for them to buy your card, they are looking to resell your card. So if its priced above eBay, chances are, you aren't selling it. On the first page I read a remark about a bunch of broke dicks. Hard to disagree with this. I receive offers of 60 cents on 75 cent cards (80% min offer), as the #1 type of an offer I get. I get this offer more often than I get a card sold at 75 cents. If you have collectors items, list them at whatever price you want. Eventually the collector will either find it, and purchase it, or they won't. The same way that things happen on eBay, just a lot slower. You probably don't need someone telling you that your Kenny Satterfield is priced too high.

Feel free to check out my port. Don't take into account cards priced high that seem absurd. Those select items are PC items that if they sell in the next 5-10 years that would be cool.

Thanks! I appreciate it. I try to go through everything as often as possible to make them the lowest price, but haven't done it for a while.

Feel free to pm me or make offers on the ones you liked.

[jefflasvegas]

I set my min offer at 50%. If I don't lose money on the card, I usually accept. My markup is usually less than 100% of cost, so many times I counter an offer. I do, however notice a lot of my 75 cent cards sell for 75 cents. If someone offers 50 cents, I usually take.

I was curious how much of a discount I usually accept. I looked at my numbers since 2009. My average sales price of 24,000 cards sold is $1.34. My average asking price is $1.56, resulting in average of 14% off. Considering, I have accepted many half off offers, I do receive the majority sales at asking price.

I also find it difficult to sell mid-high ends. I made a sell analysis back in March and found that 2% of my sales in 2015 were above $10.00 while 76% were $0.01-$3.00. Over 3 years, 15% of my sales were above $10.00.

It's all nice and fun, yet I'd like to make more "impact sales" to justify my time investement. I'm making tweaks in my strategy over the summer that hopefully will turn that trend.

In term of your port I had fun looking at it. My first instinct was that prices were high, yet when I looked into it I noticed that you often had the lowest (especially for post-2010s) or middle of the pack. You also had single copies.

In addition your pre-2010s made me nostalgic, it was cool to see Jarret Jack, or Josh Childress rookies. Now would I personally target those as a flipper? Unlikely since I focus on modern, yet nostalgic collectors could. And those years were the bulk of your basketball port.

If I may say I stiil would recommend to lower your prices a tad more to push potential buyers (and maybe even flippers) to cross that line. You have so many items that you could retrieve a lot if you choose to move them aggressively. Do you often run promos?

Hope this helps.

[k13]

Most of my sales are around $30 a card....

High end does sell....just price it right or have nice patches.

I have been swamped at work and unable to contribute much to this lately

How about a couple of talking points for the next few days though

1) Do you consider your "brand" as a seller or is each card and price unique? I consider my brand as I make buying and submitting decisions. In my opinion the expectations of my port would be high quality veterans and Hall of Fame type guys at competitive / lowest on site prices and a wide selection with more mediocre prices on all of the top prospects. I focus on Baseball with a heavy lean toward Bowman Chrome.

2) Do you as a seller accept lower offers from repeat customers / ignore certain buyers more than others? I certainly try and accept every offer from my biggest customers hoping they will see a trend and offer more and more. I also auto decline every offer from TheCardStock who always offers the minimum no matter what.

3) Do 2$15-$49 cards sell for you? In my case I sell a ton of this level card but often hear it is very difficult. I think if they are priced well they sell.

1) Yes. Took me a couple of years to find my niche, which is modern (2010+) rookie basketball cards, either BGS or Autos. I always try to be the lowest on the site and now I'll focus on beating (or keeping up) with eBay asking prices to offer an alternative to online buyers. Finally I target emerging players (before they get hot). I'm hoping that this is the brand that buyers will recognize.

2) I always consider offers. I plan to run more stats to recognize my returning buyers and I definitely would consider giving them more loose. I rarely ignore buyers, if anything I recognize sellers that I avoid due to high prices or strict room for negotiations.

3) As I mentioned above, yes I do find it difficult. This is where my buying skillz kick in, I need to know what to get at what price in order to flip at a respectable price for all parties. I think I learned enough over the last couple of years to know how to apply that skill. I'm also planning to be more patient with my inventory, most of my deals were quick flips but since I'm investing a lot in younger players, I'll be willing to sit a bit longer on a particular item and trust that it'll be moved at the price I have in mind.

By in large, No, I do not consider myself a brand, COMC is the brand that affects my sales with the way they go about things (good and bad). Because I use my port for Intl mailbox as well I have some overpriced PC stuff mixed in with straight flips so from purely a sellers pov it is hard to have a real unique brand. I like to have a good mix across most sports and also non sport.

2) Do you as a seller accept lower offers from repeat customers / ignore certain buyers more than others? I certainly try and accept every offer from my biggest customers hoping they will see a trend and offer more and more. I also auto decline every offer from TheCardStock who always offers the minimum no matter what.

I don't understand why you would name "TheCardStock" in this manner especially if only for for the reason listed. You set your offer parameters (and your look to be set at 20% so it's not like it's repeated 50% off offers on underpriced cards)... I really don't understand the need for this call out especially when the offers are 20% off asking.... I don't take a buyer/sellers behavior as personal, it's just business.... Unless they feel the need to call me out publicly of course

3) Do 2$15-$49 cards sell for you? In my case I sell a ton of this level card but often hear it is very difficult. I think if they are priced well they sell.[/QUOTE]

Yes, but I also price where I will accept most offers, just sold a card for $24 I had listed at $30 where the seller opened at the minimum, a cpl of counters and we had a deal

[thebrett]

I have 80% offers on because Cardstock sends me multiple offers a day when I'm on 50% where I want to be

1) I would say my brand is probably having between 1-3 cases worth of new Topps/Bowman products that focus on prospects and rookies. Usually try and keep everything as the lowest on the site with a few exceptions.

2) Mine depends on the card(s) more than the person offering. If it's low end I usually accept no matter what. Higher end all depends on the offer. I usually have a number in mind on most cards that I want.

3) Yes, I haven't had a problem at all with them. I agree with you that if they are priced well, they sell. There have been times that I've sold cards for a little less than I wanted(because I wanted some credit to order another case) but for every card like that, I've probably sold the same amount for more than I would have taken so it evens out for me.

[Jonathon M]

ok, that's different... I had a few send me offers every day for a while on the same cards at 50% off so I changed it, yup, very annoying

[jefflasvegas]

I guess I've been lucky enough to never be bothered by 50% offers. The Diva was probably the closest as he/she would always re counter at the 50% mark and never raise. Shortly thereafter, the 3 strike rule came into affect. Since then, if I don't like a 50% offer, I simply counter or reject.

[mHanson]

I would love some feedback as well! I have a few higher value cards but most are lower priced... but they are all auto or relic type cards.

Thanks!

Bump this old thread up

Can't find much of anything to buy on COMC lately

I've been buying fairly much this summer, finding nice deals. Especially via promos. Bkb's in the off season.

[tkraft24]

I've only made one submission (at last years National) so I have a small port. Still have 242 items after selling 130. This isn't a business for me so I'm patient. Been very happy with the singles I have sold.

I messed up by starting with higher prices but consider them better now. But since I haven't added new inventory, I'm guessing my stuff doesn't come up in search results much. It also doesn't help that 210/242 of my items don't have SRP's.

I'll make my second submission at the National this weekend and try to start off with better prices and see if that helps move some of my other inventory.

[OLDPAPER]

I am always open for feedback....my port is growing and I have about 2500 cards in the pipeline....I often change the offers I will review. Right now I am at 40% off with a .50 minimum...this has worked all right

My "port" is patheticly small, but I try to grow it as I can, limited funds, but I think my prices are pretty good. I would love feedback. Please let me know!

Time to revive this important thread.

I looked at your basketball, items seemed nicely price from the eye test, yet when I looked into it they were often among the most expensive or middle of the pack against copies. I'd encourage you to lower them by a dollar or two to make them competitive.

I like your strategy of pricing with "99s".

Thanks....I have admittedly not done a great job keeping up with the pricing of my port...that is why I often take offers of up to 40% off to balance that....but I really need to go thru the whole thing and clean it up....5200 cards now....and may or may not send in another 3000 or so that are ready to go....

[thebrett]

I wish more people used this thread and listened to the feedback

[Saraste]

Ok...I'll bite...

My port is under 750 cards and is mostly lower end. Most of my cards are the lowest on site and I have mostly "name" players. There won't be huge room for good flips except on a few items. However, I would not mind some confirmation that my prices are reasonable for those who are at least looking to take cards off site. I use Amazon and also accept 20% offers for those on the site.

Thank you for any input.

Thank you for any input.

My feedback for you is that while your mix of players are mostly high profile guys, some of them are slow movers for a number of reasons.

Nomar sells consistently for me, but can be very slow because there is no new demand
McGwire has been awful for me, and I actively avoid having his stuff in my port
Bonds sells consistently and slowly

Overall you have a nice variety of low on site count items at very fair prices

Your prices aren't low enough for flippers and you don't have a huge selection of high sales volume players (Griffey, Jeter etc...)

Reality is you will likely have slow but consistent sales with your approach, and you may have some periods of low sales.

[Divino]

I actually just revamped my port after selling it off completely last year. I've got 1,000 ish lower end cards on their right now, averaging 40-50 cards sold per month.

I've got another couple hundred ready to send, but I'm not sure I want to keep selling on there, or sell off my port and be done with COMC.

My feedback is that if you aren't committed to the site you will likely not have success. Should probably sell and bounce

[Jonathon M]

Define "success", I'd say 40-50 cards a month out of 1000 is ok... Especially if your not "committed"... Comc is different things to different people, there is more than one way to do it that results in a positive experience, that is the beauty of it

[4SeamCollect]

I've learned a few things and one of them is that I was sending in slow moving cards for the longest time. My port is about dead right now but I plan on packing up a good box of about 400-500 cards and sending them in soon. I have went back and forth between COMC, eBay and Sportlots. I spent about 3 solid days listing things on Sportlots before I realized that it was ultimately going to be a waste of my time. I think COMC is the best way to clear out non-common items. For common bulk, I'm just going to sell in lots on eBay or here. I wouldn't send anything to COMC that goes for super high prices though (no superfractors). I think Brett has said this before on a thread or five that patience is the key to COMC. Here is how I look at it from both sides of the glass:

Side 1) I send in 500 cards and pay $100 to list them. I have them listed at $1,000. I start getting anxious when I don't get my money back quickly. I need my $100 because my lady is hassling me about the money I "wasted". I start a port sale and lose a lot of money because I wasn't patient enough for the long term. I end up selling most of my cards for less than what it cost to list them. I now hate COMC.

Side 2) I send in 500 card and pay $100 to list them. I have them listed at $1,000. I patiently wait for the sales to come in. It could take 6 months or even a year. I didn't use money for bills to pay the fees so I'm able to just sit back and wait. The money trickles in slowly but its enough to help build my PC a couple cards at a time. Once the money in my account get to be enough, I send in more cards. Rinse. Repeat. While I'm doing this I also check out port sales and other sales. I find great deals for cheap and reprice them on my port for profit. Again, patience is key here.

This is how I see it from both sides. I think the thing that really turns people off (I'll admit that I'm one of these folks) is that you won't get your money as quick as you might on eBay. So this leaves some people sending in stuff and thinking that they're not doing well. I'm working on this myself. My lack of patience has been my biggest downfall on COMC, eBay or whatever else. Basically I need to look more at the APR instead of the DAY-PR :)

I'm going in that direction, I decided in the fall to forget about quick flips and focus on mid-long term instead. Glad to say it's working, my returns are in the positives and I feel less anxious as you mentioned. I'll slowly build a competitive port over time.

[Budler]

I will give it a shoot and see what you think of my port.

I think I know why. (I'm the only Nebraska Cornhusker collector on COMC) Sent in 92 cards and 24 of them went with in a couple of weeks. The rest is just setting there. I do lower every thing to lowest.

I think that you will have a hard time selling your Cornhusker cards. The hits and rookies I think are pretty fairly priced. If you have the Nebraska stuff at lowest price, you will sell the most Cornhusker stuff compared to other sellers at least. The base cards of stars will hopefully sell if it as lowest price. Good luck with your sales.

Yes I was a little afraid of that but I do it just to see if there were any other Cornhusker collectors on the site. I was also counting on selling on Amazon but COMC still (as of Friday) has not gotten the connection fixed so my cards will show up on Amazon. I thought my prices were the lowest but will need to double check them. I also willing to look at offers but have had only a few and made deals on all but one.

[tribetown]

I think your cards are pretty fairly priced. Your non-hits prices are pretty decent, and I think your hits are priced amazing. I don't think you will have a problem selling your cards. Good luck with your sales.

The port isn't huge but it looks like you probably have a nice steady line of sales.

[tribetown]

I always say I will do a submission to COMC but I never do. I have 1 card in my port. WOO HOO.

[weedyalan]

I'd welcome any feedback on my port.

I typically always accept 20% off offers, as they deliver the same amount I'd receive when something sells through Amazon. I have historically considered, and countered all other offers. I think I have only outright rejected two offers during all of my years on the site.

I am also interested in people's insights on the COMC sales feature. I haven't used it other than when they offer free sales... I've been debating whether or not I should run a sale or port sale, because I have been fading away from the hobby as of late.

[tribetown]

Sadly, I think you may have a little bit of trouble selling. About half of your card prices are fair, and will sell I think. On some of your cards however, you are not the lowest price available. There is usually one price or more listed as cheaper then yours. I might take a week and do a couple hundred cards a day and change the price to lowest available, that is if you are willing to lower the price. Your cards I think are fairly priced, so it's not your fault, someone is just trying to sell their card by pricing it one cent cheaper then yours. Good luck with your sales

[tribetown]

Time to bump this thread up and give more feedback.

[jjj5278]

No sense looking at mine currently. I am down to just some nitty gritty stuff. Interestingly enough the 90 Topps football sells very consistently through Amazon. I have some better cards to send in to boost my port back up, but just haven't had the time or patience to pack them all up. I'll get it together one day though b/c my port is weak right now.

I really wish they'd add a setting that puts only cards priced above $X on Amazon ... because I am not about to lose a %age on my under $0.25 cards.

you need to be lowest on the site if you want to sell those Lockett rookies.

Serious question

Why would anyone run a sale over 20%?

Skipping the Amazon opportunity seems like a waste. Saying that a COMC sale % off that anyone with a brain can see thru versus a site with millions of visits a day

I wish they didn't even have sales or offers honestly

Let me know what you guys think. I have only been using the site for about a week. I just go to recently added and see if I can find any with some room to flip. Let me know thanks!

We should get this thread going again

Lot of new strategies and inventory since the eBay deal

I know I just went back thru and repriced my entire inventory

Sales have been slow even with best on all pricing

Let me hear it, what would you do differently or the same with my port. Sorting by recent I guess

If you want sales, the best thing to do is to have the cheapest card on the site. I think that's all one could do (minus running a sale on top of that)

If anybody has any feedback for me Id love to hear any thoughts
