Go to "make an offer" page. Make an offer of the full price.

If you have store credit, just purchase it with that option on the cart screen or hit the purchase now button. If you don't have credit, you will need some to purchase cards to flip.

I profited 19 cents off you! BOOM.

[phosgene]

thought maybe you bought one and flipped it, but now i remember i just got one from you last night. that's like a century ago in comc time tho...

I've had many successful flips on comc, typically in the 10-20% on average. A few in the 40%-50%+.

Like a previous poster said, key is patience and shopping for deals especially on black Friday weekend promos, etc.

I've been burned a few times of course, but finished on top more often then not. Items under $4 are quicker to flip, higher items are riskier.

My recent flipping success ... I have flipped almost 2000 cards on the site now

[Bars and Bar]

I just made my best flip of the month seconds ago.

Bought a card for $14.50 today which was much higher than I wanted to pay, but the seller wasn't budging.

Just sold it for $19.99.

[elijahdf11]

Just made my first ever flip!!!! Bought a card today for $3.00 and just sold it for $4.68. I know that isn't a lot but it just made me happy that I finally had a successful flip.

[brandonlec]

I'm currently running a 50% off sale right off the top on all my cards in my port, and some of my stuff is selling a few cents lower than what I bought it for :/ oh well!

[chezball]

same here at 40% didn't raise prices either.Some are unique to the site and lowest priced,if not the lowest they will be with the sale.

I have flipped two cards there. One I bought for $.55 and sold for $.60 (decided I didn't want it shipped so I relisted it) and the other I bought to possibly flip one day and it worked. I bought it for $1.22 and sold for $3, so not bad on that one. I have one other card in my port right now I bought and decided not to get shipped and if it sells it'll sell for like $2 less than I bought it for, so that'll eat all the profit I've made on the other two, haha.

That's if it sells right now during my 45% off sale, but it's been slow today. I've sold one card through amazon and two from the sale.

I turned my Amazon sales option off and raised my lowest possible offer price to avoid taking a loss on cards that are already discounted.

So far I have 9 sales for about $25, but only about $2.50 profit with 5 of those cards being pretty much break-even.

Did you just turn off Amazon sales for Boxing Day sales or do you always leave it off? I have been considering whether or not to start using Amazon sales.

I usually have it on, but I turned it off and will have it off during the sale. 20% off of ~20% off is not something I'd be happy about.

Do you get a lot of sales through amazon when it is on though?

I am pretty sure cards stay at full price during sales when they are on amazon.

If the card sells through Amazon it takes the 20% off your original asking price. The sale prices are not visible to Amazon people. Therefore the card I sold this morning there actually sold for more than it would have if they bought it through the site.

I have been selling 2-3 cards a week through Amazon. I only have about 250 cards, so it's decent sales. As long as you are comfortable with 20% your prices it's a good way to go. I would however be extra careful with how you price your high value items if you decide to use the Amazon feature.

Ahh, thank you!
