Received my order from COMC today and was really impressed with the packaging and quick shipping. I also received a coupon from them good for $20 off any processing service so I figured I would give them a try. Any advice as to what kind of cards sell the best on there? Probably send in all three sports. Thought about just sending in low to mid end inserts and parallels, maybe a few rookies. Any advice from experienced sellers on that site?
 
Try to send in things they don't already have. 1989 Fleer Glossy sets aren't the easiest to find, but they have 9 copies of the Will Clark from that set, so every one of them is 38 or 39 cents.They have 4 copies of the 87 Glossy, 2 are 99 cents, 1 is $1, and 1 is $2. It pretty much becomes who can undercut whom in situations like that. They've got scads of Griffey rookies, a dozen or so Leaf Sosa's, etc. Got any 91 Donruss Elites? None on there now. Send in things where you won't have to compete with every other seller.
 
set your prices high as just about every offer from buyers is SUPER low.

How low is super low? I think part of the problem is people expecting too much. I'm buying a decent mix of cards for anywhere from 10-35% of the book value without making offers, these are the asking prices. I've picked up SP's, Holoviews, 1/box inserts, rookie cards of MVP's, 3 copies of a card /56 including the 1/56, etc. I just picked up $55 worth of cards for $4.75 on the Bench, on COMC I'm up to roughly $80 BV for $21.16, and a fair part of that is paying close to book value for a bunch of $.50-.75 cards
