COMC After One Week!

[GotMelky]

So my first 25 cards with the one week processing were listed last Monday night. Thought I would give people an idea of how I am doing on the site as it seems like there was interest/questions about it. I have a 50 card group still processing at the four week as well, so this is just my first group.

I have sold 5 of the 25 cards so far for $21.21 - nothing super high end, as most of what I sent in was in the $4-12 BV range. Getting pretty good prices on the cards I have sold and only two of the five were offers I accepted. Have gotten a few low ball offers - seems like mostly on cards that are easily flipped. Multiple on a 2010 Bowman Chrome Green XFractor Wil Myers and then a lower offer on a Hamels card that has been selling in the $14-15 range delivered on eBay. I countered with what I would accept in both cases and they rejected. But it has been pretty easy and straightforward so far. Eyeballing some Shaun Marcum goodies to purchase - already picked up a few off my needs list.

I definitely recommend this as an alternative to eBay!

How high are the fees? Would you say eBay's fees are higher or lower?

I used a coupon for $20 off a first time submission (from Sportscollectors Digest online - free to use), so I only paid $4.75 for all 75 cards I listed. I did a post about the various ways to sell cards and what was most profitable. eBay auctions is cheaper by a little bit, but I didn't have to deal with shipping these off to buyers, waiting for payment, and I won't have to deal with the purchaser-returns-ridiculousness at all.

They are raising their prices to .25 per card processing, but they are eliminating a batch fee of $3.00. So you can list 60 cards at a time for the same cost as what it was before ($15.00). I'm getting ready to take advantage of their National promotion (Aug 1-5), which is a 550 count box processed for $55.00. I figure I can get 400+ cards in there, which makes it .12-.14 per card to list.

Thanks for the info & review. I think it is really great that it bypasses the hassle of packing up cards and sending out through ebay.

Is the $20 off coupon available to anyone who wants it or just members of Sportscollectors Digest Online? If it is available, would you kind sharing it or any other coupons you know of? I'd really like to sell some stuff on COMC.

It is available for anyone to use - let me see if I can find it and direct link it.

I like how you are selling relatively low BV cards. Did you send in only star players & nicer inserts/parallels in hopes of selling fast or did you just send in a whole bunch of different cards and different players?

I sent in a variety - you can see what I have in inventory here:

On the shorter stuff I went with higher end items, the four week stuff is more in the $4-8 range. Some of this, some of that. Of the eight cards sold, only one was not a rookie.

Just made a purchase on comc! Working on my 2011 bowman platinum ruby prospect set serial #25! Best regards, David

You can probably get some help on that set - they seem to have quite a selection!
