Thanks to everyone who purchased from me today, though it didn't come close to what I spend in the city. NYC is one expensive place but a lot of fun.

I have decided to really put them to the test as I take more of my flips out for my PC. Yesterday I put in an order for 1,600 cards and I already have 400 more flagged.

Is H4AUTO around to see all of this? I guess his incessant complaining did not go on deaf ears. This $.05 card shipping special has been fantastic.
Saw it. Great that COMC takes care of the buyers sometimes. Hope they run more specials for buyers.

Sales have been sporadic for me. Right sold sold maybe 50-100 cards, but in the past 2 days I've had more offers than I did on friday. Also spent quite a bit, probably close to $150 or so trying to finish sets. Thanks to those that have bought, accepted my offers, and minus one guy right now, I've been accepting most offers or countering them with slight increases as I know this special is pretty good for both the sellers and buyers.

I've sold 29 cards since Thursday till now. Accepted a few offers. Countered and refused a few as well. All and all not bad for only having around 500 cards on the site. Put a little cash in my pocket and will be able to send in another 500 more when my coupon arrives for making a PC purchase.

I see tons of cards listed at $0.20 on COMC, but how does that make any money for sellers when the listing fee is $0.15 per card? You'd have to have a sell rate of 75% just to break even on listing fees. What am I not getting? Thanks for any clarification.

A lot of them were likely listed for 10 cents when they had bulk listing prices.

Some of those are listed by the owner of the site. And like cardsrus said others were prolly submitted on cheap promo deals.

Also I think there are quite a few sellers that never cash out their sales. They use the money they make to buy other cards they want. So they are not taking the 20% hit on cashing out. A good way to essentially swap their unwanted cards for stuff they want.

Some cards may of also been listed when the site first started up and fees were only .10 per card to list. Then again, everyone has their sale price

Big thanks to everyone...figured I wouldnt see many new cards listed today and my funds were down to 20 bucks after taking delivery...283 cards incoming to me

Feel free to make offers, I've got 14 batches due to process this week and pretty sure after fees are posted tomorrow morning I'll be in the negative again

I would have to look to be exact, but I sold between 400-500 cards over the last 3 days or so. Been a great weekend for me. Bought lots and got some great deals as well. I price my cards to move though. I really do not see how some people make money on there. I have people buy my cards and price them for book value. 99.9% of cards are not going to sell for anywhere near BV. To each their own I guess. My method has been working great and I plan to stick with it. The one thing I do not like is when you are searching the sellers stats, it only lists the cards that you sent in. Not the cards that you own. So for me, it says I have 770 cards (or somewhere around that amount), but actually I have over 8,000+ cards in my inventory. Its not really that big of a deal, but it would help with exposure if the true stats where listed.
