CheckOutMyCards.com Questions, Suggestions & Testimonials

[coltsfan23]

Thank you guys for your awesome site! I have picked up many great deals that I never would have found had it not been for your site.

I was wondering if you guys could add a message box on the offer page? As a buyer, I'd feel better to get an idea of what the seller would like on some of their cards. Sometimes I want to make an offer on a lot of cards from a seller, but there may be a couple of cards that the seller wants full value for. As the buyer, I wouldn't really have any way of knowing that (unless they are already members of this forum and I can PM them).

Please let me know if this is a possible addition that can be made. Thank you and great work with your site!

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

Thanks again,

Matt

As new cards get added to the site, you will be notified. If they are from a batch of your own cards, you can just ignore them. Otherwise you will get see the new Sportkings cards that get added to the site.

Yes, you just need to make sure it is obvious to us. It is common for people to put multiple boxes inside one flat rate box. On each box people will write their user name and the service level they desire.

Has to be a easier way????????

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

Sorry we didn't get back to you on this. We must have missed this. I will look into adding a feature to make this easier.

Not sure if this question has been raised before, but here goes.

When looking at your own inventory and sorting cards, when you sort by "Only cards WITHOUT prices" you still see the cards that are flagged to ship. Is it possible to add a dropdown, or change the current option, to show just cards with no asking price while ignoring those that are marked to ship?

Hi Tim,

Thank you for continuing to move COMC forward. I am optimistic that this will be the marketplace for collectors in the hopefully not-too-distant future.

There are some ideas I have to help improve the usability of the site. Here are a couple of them:

-I'd like to be able to flag items in my inventory with much more variety than currently available. For instance, I may want to flag cards for my own PC ('not for sale' could work for that), separate cards for my brother, cards that I may want to change the price on soon if they don't get any interest, etc.. Several different colored flags could serve this purpose in any way imaginable.
This could even be taken to the next level with the implementation of automatic flags (perhaps with email notifications). Examples would include cards with:
*recent price increases
*recent price decreases
*no purchase after being for sale for more than X amount of time
*no offers after X amount of time
*asking prices between $.26 and $.5 (this is particularly useful toward the end of the month)

-I think the single most useful improvement that the site can benefit is advanced browsing and filtering capabilities similar to those that Beckett use now. In addition to sport and year, I would like the option to filter by:
*min price and max price
*card types (game used, autographed, serial #'d, etc.--the ability to select multiple options is critical)
*team
*seller name (if practical w/ a drop down list)
I have lost a lot of hours looking for things like cards with a BV of at $5 priced at least 90% off. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who would buy much more actively if they could easily find game used Red Sox cards priced at least 60% off book (but with an asking price no higher than $10). I realize this may be difficult to implement but if it is at all possible this could provide a remarkable transformation.

I hope these ideas help! Keep up the good work!

I know I'm excited about the updates and changes. I have a feeling that I'll finally be able to stay away from retail blasters (& the overpriced LCS) and get back with the hobby boxes to scratch my itch. I like the direction COMC is heading in and the personal feedback we are getting from Tim. The shipping update is also a plus. Glad to be a part of this. Probably like most of the COMC veterans, I think that this will bring both more sellers as well as a lot more buyers.

i noticed that for bulk shipping it is $10 extra for international ... is it possible to send first class to canada for the bulk shipping too? That way, shipping would cost a similar amount as shipping within the USA

For those that haven't seen it yet...

BULK SHIPPING:
# Minimum order is 50 cards
# Available the last 7 days of the month
# Packaged the first week of the month
# Shipped securely without sleeves
# Shipped via USPS Priority Mail
# $15 for the first 50 cards
# 15¢ for each additional card
# $10 extra for international orders
# $1 extra for each graded card

I'd just like to give kudos to Tim and the team at COMC for implementing this new rate. Its even better than I was hoping it would be. The lower the S/H is for our buyers, the more they will be willing and able to buy, and thus the better things will be for the COMC sellers. So with that said, I think there is still room for improvement in the future. But I believe this is definitely a fair deal for our buyers... and especially for buyers like me who are also sellers and do a lot of buying of cards to have cards shipped.

It has not even been a year since I discovered COMC and began buying/selling there... but in less than a year I have been more impressed with the innovations that have taken place there than I've been with anything ebay has done in the last decade. COMC truly is the future of buying/selling in this hobby!

Will penny savers be used on bulk shipments?
