I think my lowest were in the $2 range...

My (probably flawed) reasoning is...

If I can sell a $2 for $1 minus $0.20, I can make $0.80 on a card that was just sitting in a box, and would continue to sit in a box forever.

The highest BV card I sent was $120, but the condition means I will probably only be able to get $30-40 for it tops.

They don't sell lots do they?
just send it all in.

Looks like a very promising site. Count me as one more that will give it a try. I set up my account last night and will be gathering a lot of 100 cards to send in this weekend to take advantage of the discount. It sounds like people are mainly going with low-end stuff to start and not doing too much with memorabilia cards/autos.....is this the trend? I don't have a ton of those I want to get rid of, but I do have some and I'm working on some sets with GU and autos which I wouldn't mind spending some of my credit on. I'll try to update my luck/progress with the cards I send in......hopefully others will continue to do the same. Thanks to all for the info you have provided so far--it is all very helpful and interesting!

I sent in every GU and Auto that I didn't think would sell for $1 on ebay.

And how is that going for ya? I sent in a like 20 basketball game used and only like 4 sold in 6 months for between $1.50-2. If you have success selling them at 75% off I would send all of them in, but I have some of them listed at 80% off and no sucess....but they are basketball.

Does CMC sell internationally? This has been the only problem with Naxcom/Sportsbuy. They've allowed Canada (think only because they're confirmed via Paypal). But this is the reason I've avoided listing a ton of hockey. Basketball at times can and does sell very well internationally as well.

Yes they do, and they deal with all the shipping BS so you don't have to.

I have been a seller on COMC since 5/15/08. To date:

I sent in 7,263 cards.

I have sold 3,447 cards.

My total sales is $6,927.66

If you take my sales ($6,927.66) minus my cards added (7,263) X .20 ($1,452.60) means I have an estimated profit so far (not including my costs to ship the packages to them) of $5,475.06 in just 5 months.

I have sold some big ticket cards, but most of my sales have been inexpensive cards that would never sell on Ebay and had a hard time selling on Sportlots. Right now, I mark my cards that are BV $15 or below at 80-90% off BV.

I recommend this service to all. It is simple and they do the work for you by keeping you updated via Beckett. They have a cooperative effort with Beckett, so they send you updates on prices monthly (both up and down prices) and the best part, I think, is you don't have to waste your man hours scanning cards, etc...!
