It is interesting that to JMS I am a net negative

The world is often viewed thru a very personal lens which makes sense

I offer thousands of cards at the lowest price on the site which would be viewed as a positive in attracting new buyers

I am consistently in the top 5 buyers on the site, and would guess if SRP was accurate I would be top 3 at almost all times. That means actual dollars put into sellers pockets to either cash out or buy other items they want on the site

Under half of my purchases are made in port acquisitions. Port sales are almost always the undesirable leftovers. I have more success cherry picking from clearance sales and recently added items. That means I am paying the same price any other buyer would pay. I simply have more practice and a larger data set on what I can turn and at what price point.

Additionally I consigned over 10,000 cards in 2015 and will likely submit over 15,000 in 2016

Last but not least, I purchased and took possession of hundreds of cards in 2015 so I am removing inventory regularly.

I understand I may be a negative to your specific business model, but I could also argue that it is an incomplete business model destined to fail.

Very few opportunities are missed, many are picked up by others.

I am always looking for more inventory, we could work a direct to me deal if there is a benefit to you to be had. Ultimately I will exploit margin, buying power and market knowledge to my own gain with an eye toward growth and expansion. I plan to grow my COMC presence by 50% or more in 2016, so any issues you see with my footprint now is likely to get worse. I have been actively educating myself on basketball and vintage so those will be my growth focus

I have also improved my IRL card sourcing which should move me to the top 20 of consignment sellers as well
