I submitted an order to be shipped on 1/16 with a due date of 4/19. Still waiting.

On the buying front, I am having a difficult time finding cards that I want to purchase. I buy mainly low grade vintage non-sports cards. In the past I could easily find them in the $2 to $5 price range. Now, those same low grade cards are being listed for $15 or $25 or $35. They will never sell at those prices, but I can't figure out what the sellers are doing.
Yeah, COMC really shot themselves in the foot. Even if one says they didn't pull the trigger. They at least didn't administer the bandage until it was much too late. I'm expecting a terrible rest of the year for my sales on COMC. I think it all stems from their shipping debacle. I don't think people trust them.

However, people have short memories.

So... on the buying end, I keep on looking for deals, and hope the market doesn't crash by the time people start going hog wild on COMC again. I have also found some really high prices. But if I keep looking, I will find sellers who are dumping at crazy low prices. I have to keep looking every day, and sometimes get lucky. But I'll find cards at 50% of recent comps, even less. I just have to look every day, sometimes I look 2-3 times a day. Perusing COMC is like work to me now. But work I enjoy.
