Items in Inventory 65 <=== check the red highlight
Total Book Value $189.80
Items w/o Book Price 0
Total Asking Price $14.31
Items w/o Asking Price 2
Items Not for Sale 3
Items Ready to Ship 0
Total Sales $299.74
Items Sold 276 <---- I shipped out the 1,200+ cards
Items Purchased 1,654 <== This would be 10,000 cards purchased and shipped if the shipping rate was better. Food for thought.
Items Added to the Site 293

Both Seller and Buyers are important. No sellers, no buyers OR no buyers ,no selling.

I would have probably bought 5,000-10,000 cards already from the sellers of COMC if the shipping rates are better. Hope you sellers see the bigger picture and realize that i am just ONE buyer that limits buying due to shipping rates, i can only IMAGINE how many more buyers and lurkers that WOULD BUY if the shipping was more favorable to buyers.

Just some input. A shipping cap would be great.

why don't you email COMC directly and let the know what you think? they'll listen to whatever you have to say.

I would buy 10,000 cards too, heck make it 100,000 plus, if the price was right and shipping was capped.

How's that project of yours coming? I'm really wanting to pick out 500 cards from the 500,000 or so that you can show front and back scans of to me.

I did........ and called. But it seems more people complain or/and make suggestions are the sellers. so comc concentrates on the seller side of the site.

Is the cards free at the site you sell at? when they are free i will pay the shipping per card. Keep it up, or squash it.
Better. but i make more money in my other business. got a semi-good domain. though.

I will try to put it in a way you should understand. Somebody has to pay the people that are pulling the cards that are being bought. They have to find each and every card from over half a million cards. There is a cost to do so, someone has to pay that cost. If the sellers are to pay that cost, the card prices will rise accordingly and you will have fewer cards being sent in. You are a business owner so you are aware that the cost of selling something needs to be included in your selling price. The moral of this is you would then complain that everyone wants too much for their cards. It is no different than Ebay, figure the cost of shipping and processing in each card you buy.

I'm guessing he still won't understand.

Wouldn't surprise me if he is one of those unscrupulous salesman either. Of course, that is just my opinion based on how he is treating this whole COMC issue.

Yes i understand. As a business owner,customer and just the average person. i have yet to see any other business online that charges s/h anywhere close to the rate table they have. Find me a online website that has worst shipping rate for a item as small and in a space as small as 500,000 cards storage.

You are right that costs are involved. But the customer doesnt care about how a product is made,transferred,insured,etc.. they just want the item at a fair price(I AINT ASKING FOR COST ON SHIPPING, i am suggesting a flat or cap rate on huge quantities).

I just bought 800+ cards on feebay the last 2 days, that possibly is lost sales for comc seller (bought 450 in 2 days on comc) . i got tired of pressing the "flagged for shipping" button 450 times and with the shipping rate, it just makes feebay easier.

As a business owner (multiple businesses), i would never pass and gouge the buyer or customer with costs that is not competitive with other similar businesses.

If i owned any type of business and sold out of ONE SHOP or website. i would not tell the customers, "ooo, since i bought each item from different wholesalers,companies,consignors and countires i have to charge you a surcharge for each item since i keep everything in different rooms or storage spaces around town, "you understand right?"... the customer would laugh in your face and tell the whole world about the idiot shop owner .

AGAIN, COMC is a great concept. Now move on to taking care of the buyers. Seems like the sellers are doing fine.

h4auto · 08-26-2009, 06:20 PM

I tell you guys what. Lets have the whole world vote on this issue.

Why dont we post this on the internet and ask what people think about the shipping rates for a 1000 card order from one company.

I have no problem with having this seen by the average business person,consumer,non card buying person to make a opinion on a
1000 card lot being shipped at $250 or priority shipped for $500 or expressed for $750..

I like COMC so keeped it here where only COMC,tim and comc user, people can read and improve on the system.

But if you have complete confidence that comc has great shipping rates, why dont we post this on other internet forums,sites for other people that are non-biased to comment on.
