Besides the .30 listing fee, also consider you will need to ship your cards to them and over time storage fees after 90 days began .01, so think more like .35 per card. Here's the other kicker, the first time a card gets listed there is a .25 listing fee that yes gets paid by the buyer technically, it will price your quarter card .25 higher than others on the site that have been flipped already and will not have that higher cost built in. Also, don't forget your original acquisition cost for your card, I'm sure your quarter card cost you .05 or .10 originally or whatever. Additionally, your plan to buy a "nice" card with your money made is harder set than done as most of these are overpriced at COMC. So if you cash out, which may happen, you are hit with another 20% fee. Back to the immediate topic at hand....

So for example. Let's take a $1.00 card, we'll say a EX condition 1975 Topps Rod Carew. Let's say you got a good deal on it at .25

You send it in for .30 + .05 to ship/possible storage fee, + your acquisition card we'll say .25, then the initial .25 listing fee, and let's ASSUME you get a buyer to pay $1.00 .75 + .25 listing fee. You've now pocketed .10 on this dollar card you bought for .25. If you would cash out you would actually lose money .10 to be exact. AND this assumes you don't select the eBay/amazon option so that would actually be ANOTHER 20% off.

In short, there are millions of dollar cards that SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN SENT TO COMC if this simple math is understaood please don't add to the pile!!!!!
