They already noted a received by date for select/elite to make it onto the site in time for Black Friday and the future select/elite discount if you sell over $500 during Black Friday so I doubt anything else will pop up.

Have to verify every time I sign in.

While I like the added security measures.. I've had some codes not show up, some show up 30 minutes later, some after 3-10 minutes, and some almost instantly.

I know the time I spend on COMC has dropped quite a bit since COMC forced this hamfisted blunder, so I'd imagine outside of ebay sells through COMC, less people are on COMC these days.

Black Friday buyers deal isn't as good as last year. Last year it was 5% back for everything spent. Now it's $5 back for every $100 spent.

So you spend $199, you get $5 back instead of $9.95.

Then spend $200. I need to make some sales to get my cash back up. I do like the rebate portion. I was thinking it was not going to be a part of it this year. I wish there was more incentive for sellers. I might actually use the submission, but it is not a huge draw for me.

You forgot that you have to spent $150 (during this time) to get free shipping. Appears there are way too many guys like me that have waited all year to get free shipping.

It sure appears Tim has forgotten all the members (the small sellers/buyer) that has gotten him where he is today.

Yeah, last year was what...free shipping as long as you shipped at least 20 items. And if you shipped 100, you got another free shipping to use later in the year. Now you have to spend $150 just to get one free shipping?

This is hilarious.

Not sure what's funny about it, I'm just stating what the promo is and using an example of how the promo isn't as large of rebate as last year by citing an example?

It is pretty much the same thing. Just have to make sure you cross the threshold and don't end it in the 80s or 90s

So I tried that. Now he is cancelling his offer if I don't respond in a few hours and then submitting another offer for a penny more LOL

Who is the user? I thought COMC made it so if the seller rejects an offer from someone 3 times they can't make an offer for 3 months on that particular card?

he'll then move to another low end card.

his name is blackthidot

The buyer's name almost seems like he is telling you how to handle it, so just blocktheidiot. LOL

Sorry that is happening to you. This is why I wish COMC allowed you to block a buyer. I would block a couple if I could.

Just let the offers hang, no big deal. He's wasting his time and has his few cents tied up.

I always find it interesting when I find a username that I have not seen. He must just choose some people to try to lowball and not others. Or I dont have anything appealing.

I don't waste my time with that. I have an auto accept % set up and offers cannot be be made below that percentage. I also set up a minimum offer threshold. My sanity is worth something and don't want to deal with the stress caused by some of these people. I may lose a few sales that way but once again, my sanity is worth something.

I've got a few boxes of cards I'm hoping to send assuming I hit that $500 threshold. COMC will end up getting an extra dime a card but I get the stuff uploaded in two weeks. I will have aggressive sale pricing all week and the largest on Cyber Monday to hit that target.

I'll load up my watch list this week and get the rebate and ideally a sale price to go with it.

What am I missing?

wubh · 11-14-2023, 08:29 PM

I've never graded anything so I figured I'd share my 1st batch submitted in mid-September as everything has returned.

4 PSA 8 (2 are rare cards that I was assuming would max out at PSA 9 at best but I wanted to try anyways since I thought there could be some upside and at least 1 could be easier to move slabbed regardless of grade)
13 PSA 9 (1 card was definitely off centered so a 9 was expected but I was hoping a few more would get 10s from this group)
13 PSA 10

So overall, a 43% gem rate feels pretty good for a first time grader.

I'll definitely study my scans for future submissions. I like how I have both a high res scan of the card in its original card saver and the high res slab scan.

I also recently submitted 2 cards bought on the site that passed the $5 pre grade review so hoping for the best there.

Saraste · 11-14-2023, 10:40 PM

They must be getting ready to ship stuff from the upcoming sale. I requested another 700 card shipment on the 29th and it shipped today! As of yesterday there were about 200,000 in the queue ahead of mine.

Anyone else having a hard time getting paypal payments or correction requests taken care of? Working on 7 business days for paypal and 6 days on a correction request.

I request a PayPal cash-out every Monday morning and it has been consistently deposited either on the following Thursday or Friday. So, 7 business days is a bit out of the ordinary.

As far as correction requests, any as of late are done within 24 to 48 hours for me. Sometimes I think whatever wording used for the correction helps speed it up - keep it simple and straight to the point. Any "wordy" requests seem to get put on the back burner. But at this point, I'd resubmit a new request, or if it is a listed card, post it here and someone else can request a correction on it as well.
