My question is if there is going to be a % taken from our COMC money or will all of it go straight to a BO gift certificate if that is what we choose. Which is gonna be the route I will always choose.


Thanks

You are welcome. It looks like CardCache answered the immediate question. Yes, we will still take a %, but it is better than the 20% that we take when converting to cash. One thing to keep in mind, is that this is just the beginning.

Teaser: Keep an eye open for CheckOutMyCards.com exclusive specials that may even take less store credit than Blowout Card standard prices.

I have a question...

Is there a way to search for a group of cards, and eliminate at least your own cards from the search list? For example, I'd like to search the COMC site to buy Sportkings cards, but when I type in "sportkings", most of the cards are mine. I'd love to be able to leave my cards out of the search in order to be more efficient.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for your time,

Matt

This is a great suggestion. I have often found myself wanting to do similar things. Since this will affect search optimization, I will have to think about the implementation carefully, but I will definitely keep this idea in mind.

Thank you. I have stopped searching for Sportkings cards because it takes too much time determining if what's for sale is mine or not. Being able to take my cards out of the mix would leave me searching for new cards every couple days at least.

If you don't mind, please post when you have updated this feature.

Thanks again,

Matt

Matt,

In the mean time, you could sort by 'Recently Added' after you've run your original search. Determine which card is YOUR most recently added card at any given time, and then anything appearing ahead of it in your search will be something new to the site.

For example, I just ran a search for "sportkings" and sorted by "Recently Added" and the first card listed is a Bo/Barry/Brown Gold Triple Jersey /10 (your card). If you bookmark that search, any cards listed ahead of that card are ones new to the site. If that card remains the first card listed, then no new cards have been added to the site. Anytime you add more yourself, just figure out which one comes up first.

Cards matching: sportkings - CheckOutMyCards.com

If there are older ones scattered between yours that you want to keep an eye on, you could add them to your cart and just leave them there. As long as you check them on the same computer you added them to your card on, they should still be there each time you log in (until or unless they sell anyway).

Matt, one of the features that I use on COMC is the RSS feed ability. If you use Google Reader or any other similar program it will update you automatically when new cards are added that match your search results. Tim- thank you for enabling that feature!

Just copy and paste this link into an RSS reader and you're good to go: CheckOutMyCards.com - Cards matching: sportkings

Pretty sure this was covered in the old thread, but I cannot for the life of me find it. Is it possible to send in cards with different service levels in the same package?

I just updated the site to make this a permanent special. The last 7 days of each month we will offer bulk shipping.

We simplified the pricing. It is $15 for the first 50 cards and $0.15 for each additional card. Enjoy!

great, but i got tired pressing the "flag for shipping button" 450 times....
Has to be a easier way????????

PS: i did email over a month ago, no answer. Did call also.

As far as I know, yes. Although each will be treated as separate batches. So if you send in 100 priority and 400 standard, you'd pay $6 in the batch fees instead of $3. Just make sure you box them up separately and clearly mark which service level each gets.

Tim,

I stumbled on the "Coming Soon" features on your Website. Any feedback of how soon these items will be rolled out? Some real cool ideas!

Coming Soon...

Want Lists
Get notifed when cards on your wantlist are added to the site. Let other users know what you want, so they have incentive to add those cards to the site.

Lots
Users will be able to create "bargain lots", complete sets, or even set a sale price for their entire collection. You will be able to buy these lots, keep the cards you want, turn around, and sell the rest.

eBay Auctions
Want to auction off some cards? You will be able to list individual cards or lots on eBay. The winner of the auction will have the choice of having the cards shipped or having them transferred to their CheckOutMyCards.com account. If the cards are transferred to their account, the user can choose what to do with each card independently. Some may be shipped to the user, some may be listed on CheckOutMyCards.com, and some may even be listed on eBay again.

CheckOutMyCards.com Store
Create a portal to CheckOutMyCards.com that shows only your cards and displays your branding.

Personal Website
Show off your collection. Let people know your favorite players, teams, cards...

Or could you just add the date the cards were added to the site?
