All I want to do is talk about COMC

[LSUNatChamps]

As a heads up to anyone interested, I’m not always able to update my prices to be in line with market in all instances but I strive to be lowest priced on everything I have listed and am offering 35% off. Feel free to message me if something catches your eye and you still think I’m mispriced and am happy to work with you.

[mjohnatgt]

Make sure to spend a little extra tonight to get over each $100 hump for the $5 extra rebate per $100 spent. I don't believe they go halfsies, so you don't want to be at $392 spent and not get $8 in cards for $3, do you?

I'm currently at $1,139.36 spent since Monday morning last week. Have my eye on a $62 card (or a couple $30 cards), but only have $47 in store credit after my shipping order and a few grading fees. That would get me to $60 in rebate cash, not bad.

Is there a way to see how much you've spent over a certain amount of time without manually adding up all your purchases?

[tdbaseballcards]

Just requested my economy shipment -

Date Requested: 12/2/2024
Estimated Ship Date: 1/9/2025
Items Ahead of My Order: 554,214

Hoping to move some more cards before the end of the sale. Still have a lot of good deals left in the port.

Copy and paste into Excel and add the column?

thanks for the heads up

Good pick up, whoever got the Alfonso Soriano 1/1 Logoman card. That was the one I was going to buy if I sold any cards this evening before I went to bed. There's a pretty awesome Tony Finau still available with tournament-worn Nike swoosh logo if that hits anyone as sweet.

More for a collector I would think...Probably not flippable at $100 until he plays well in a major tourney or 2. He has never finished top 3 in a major if I am not mistaken.

[mjohnatgt]

Yeah, definitely meant for a collector. But I figured it wouldn't last long.

[CJsHockeyCards]

When are we supposed to get the 5$ credit for the 100$ spent? I spent a little over 400$, but haven’t received anything.

I did see in one of the emails that it shows up in January.

The good news to close the loop on my complaints earlier is that the $5.99 shipping credit was immediate as long as you requested the shipment by yesterday. The way I read some earlier posts was that you have to ship items and THEN get a subsequent credit for another shipment, but that wasn't the case. And I requested the shipment yesterday and it worked.

The bad news is I didn't sell any items and will have to keep holding off the Dylan Cantrell 2018 Elite 1/1!

[Soxrule111]

Anyone able to answer a Simple question from experience-

Sending in Graded PSA Cards
Can you do 50cent Standard? (with 50 extra charge?
Can you do $1 Select? (with a 50 cent extra charge?)

Or Does it have to be 2 Weeks Elite for ALL Graded cards? (No Extra charge?)

I wish I have $1,000 or more to spend on cards. I'm not a buyer/seller just an old, retired collector with some extra cards that need to be gotten rid of.

The last 2 Black Fridays have been a disappointment for me. I purchased only 22 cards this year and 39 last year during the sales. Normally I buy around 100 cards.

I have a little cash left in my account so I'm waiting a while before I request my shipment of 57 cards. Less than 80 cards each year for the last 2 years when I was doing close to 500 cards a year before that.

[mjohnatgt]

I think the most cash I had in my account at any time was $450. I was using sales to fuel more purchases, including some bought during sale were flips that sold. So definitely one of the benefits of being an active seller as well.

Funny or rather curious, some of the things you can observe on COMC.
Someone with a port of just under 10k cards running a 35% off sale and then ups to 40% yesterday, ends up selling a total of 6 cards in 7 days.
I mean, if you still needed a hint....
I don´t get the thought process (if there´s any) or if it´s just the niche I dabble in but it feels like there´s way too many of those types. Why even bother?

But there´s pros, too. I saw around 10 actual good sales (and certainly missed a bunch more) where if you´re not too picky and saw them soon enough you could really go to town.
Did my couple dozen or so quick flips on these and ended up going out of the week with +/- 0 change to my initial credit and 20 new pc cards.
Hoped it would be more than that but it´s still twice the amount I buy in any average week, just all funded by flips. 1 steal, 1 good deal, 18 at or slightly above market I´d say.
Passed on about 50 more that were still priced just a bit too high. And another 650 or so that were still just hopelessly mispriced

[f2tornado]

Sold 1132 cards during the promo for $1006. I purchased 170 cards and had $597 left over. Most purchases were in the $1-$3 range. With few exceptions, if it wasn't on sale then I didn't buy. Missed out on a couple deals because of that. Very few cards on the watch list were picked off by others. As I mentioned yesterday, happy with my sales but a so-so on the buying end. That's okay since I need to bankroll a larger PSA sub at some point in the next month or so. Now I need to reload the port for next year.

[RobDerhak]

BF 30% off - 32 cards - $66.01
CM 50% off - 35 cards - $92.75

I haven't added any inventory to COMC in well over a year other than things I've picked up to flip...most of what I sold was added to COMC in 2023...saw a few things that have been on sire since 2016...when I started selling on Sportlots, I stopped sending things to COMC

If anyone is interested in my port, check it out & LMK, I've still got 2,500 cards in there w/ a total asking price of $6800

[Dalston]

For me, the sale works best as a time to buy and restock. I'd been saving credit to do this and spent about $2,800 (roughly $350 was on PC purchases and the rest on cards to flip). I suspect if I did the math, over half the cards I bought to flip came from the ten sellers I bought most from.

This may be sub-optimal, but as a baseball seller, my best months of the year are January-April. So, for me, running big sales in November risks selling things at a significant discount just before they have their best chance to sell at full price. So I run 10% off to incentivize people to buy items they might have watchlisted (really 15% for many buyers if you consider the credit), but not more.

I ended up selling 217 cards for $442 during the 8 days of the promo, which is significantly higher than typical for me for the number of cards and somewhat higher than average in dollars.

Overall, it feels like a pretty good outcome, although, of course, the proof will be in how well the cards I bought to flip sell.

Finally, for the second year in a row, I had a good success rate with a 'create your own' sale by making offers on cards that were not on sale. I don't have a statistically valid sample for this, but my impression is that sellers are more likely to accept offers when they know there is a sale, even if they are not participating.

The most money I have had at one time is a little over $250. That come about when I sold $250 worth on cards to a local guy and he did not have the cash so I raised a $3 card to $250 and he purchased it as he had money in his account. I had a lot of fun for the next couple of days.

The different here between me and 99% of members here is I'm mainly a collector with a narrow focus in buying with little knowledge of what others want and willing to pay. I have sold a few hundred cards on COMC but hated to wait for a year and half for them to sell. These were nice cards (some big name HOFers, Auto and MEM) and at way below the next one.

Then there is the fact that a lot of the cards I want. The only ones who have them are some of the guys with a very large number of cards. (small discounts and willing to wait)

Even more ridiculous is a seller who puts out a daily comc update has 150,000 cards and still only sells like 12 cards a day.

[Gurds]

Final total was around $5000 sold during the BF week and CM yesterday. Sold off a bunch of little things and a few decent size cards. Can't complain. Might run another sale at some point soon

Can anyone help me out here?

I bought a redemption on COMC back in 2020 that is clearly never going to be fulfilled.

COMC doesnt have an option to swap for a different card, so it's just been sitting in my inventory. I dont want to sell to anyone else as I know it wont ever be redeemed.

Do I have any recourse from Topps fraud here?

[boxbuster7]

you could email comc and complain. I've got a few myself like that...
