Hi All - New to COMC this year, and really only started using it more over the past few months. I used to only use it for the cheap stuff I didn't want to list on eBay, but now find it works well for nicer stuff as well due to the international audience wanting to avoid global shipping (I wont sell on ebay without it), willingness of people to spend up on cards vs cashing out and losing 20%, and the time saved not having to scan, list, and relist cards.
I've also been ripping a ton of 2012 basketball products because of the ease of sending 50% of the cards in to COMC. Without COMC, I would not be able to recoup enough money to continue my ripping addiction. (not sure this is a positive
)
My new problem, as I approach 5000 cards... maintenance fees. I imagine they are well worth it, but I haven't adjusted yet to the $50 a month in fees nor done the math to break it all down. At some point, the reality will set in that I have 1500 cards on comc that may never sell!
On a disappointing note, I often try to find nice $1000 cards to use my credit on, and can very rarely find anything that isn't considerably overpriced... but hey, I suppose that's part of the game, as I do it on a few cards as well. I like that if I don't want to sell a card at market value, I can leave it up on COMC without having to relist, or answer repeated eBay questions about how the "last one only sold for this, and my offer is more than fair".. etc.
And hey.. If we are just going to cash out and lose 20%, might as well pass it along to another seller.
I have not had any of the negative experiences with COMC that people go on about in other threads. My own are self-inflicted. Most often when pricing hundreds of cards, and mistaking an Auto for a non Auto and listing for $3 instead of $30. Amazing how fast people are there to take advantage of my mistake. Literally sells in seconds. (Thanks for whomever ripped me off of my Syndergaard TEK the other day...)
New idea.. take if from me.. then message me with a "hey, I saved you... you can buy this back by letting me profit a few bucks..."
Anyway.. enjoyed my experiences so far. Sorry to bore you all with the long-winded post. I'm usually just a silent reader of the posts as I learn how this all works.
