All I want to do is talk about COMC - Page 583

Swipe79 · 02-12-2021, 01:38 PM

Apparently I jinxed it...

3 Week Guaranteed due 2/11 - 49/100 cards done (none uploaded yesterday or last night).

Economy Rushed Shipment supposed to ship 2/11 - Has not shipped...

Worries me that they are not hitting their elite, 3 week guaranteed, or higher priced shipping options.

My last few elite batches have been processed on time. YMMV

Swipe79 · 02-12-2021, 03:30 PM

When was your last one processed? Someone just posted a few posts back that they missed their due date on an Elite level batch. They shouldn't be missing due dates on any of this stuff.

Brother's account had a 3 week standard of 95 cards trickle in over 2 weeks and the last 30 or so on the final day.

My account is pending
Current Year 3 week due 2/19 (see them in June at this rate)
Standard 3 week due 2/19 0 of 450.

It'll be interesting to see how many of the 450 are processed in one week.

Does anyone know if cards that are labeled as "stored remotely" eventually make their way to the Redmond, WA location?

Or are they stored remotely until a buyer initiates shipping?

They get automatically moved to the main warehouse, unless they're owned by Dean's cards. Once you buy a card from Dean's, it then gets mailed to COMC and they put it in the main warehouse. It used to take around a week, but seems to be backlogged like everything else.

cruiserdaddy7 · 02-12-2021, 06:32 PM

So it sounds as if even the "best" options are now no longer reliable. It's not a good look.

Thank you for the info!

Does the enhanced security fee only apply to items that are "listed" for sale? If I send in 5 $200 cards, but only have one listed, do I pay the enhanced security fee for 5, or 1? If a card isn't "listed" for sale, then how would they know what it is worth? Keeping certain cards unlisted would only apply to multiples of the same card... when one sells the next would be listed.

On January 1st, 2019, we will introduce an Enhanced Security Fee for items with an asking price of $50 or more.

Card has to be for sale in order to get charged the fee.

I haven't been getting a lot of sales either lately. The most I got was about 100 cards sold near Black Friday and Cyber Monday. I haven't sold much since then. A few big ones during playoffs though.

2. I notice on many raw cards there is a separate listing for "EX to NM" and also one that is just raw with no notes. Often the EX to NM listing is priced higher than many of the raw cards - why? Are they using PSA grading terms? EX to NM seems like a lower grade....

Thanks for the help! I've been enjoying the commentary on these boards, you all are very helpful!

***Update***

They processed my batch overnight, which was one day late for Elite. They gave me a slight discount on the fees and the upload was accurate.

Not that I am aware of, unless you were the submitter. You can roughly determine when it was processed by COMC based on the item number. But cards from Upper Deck ePack can have card numbers starting at 28 million or so, and be moved over to COMC today and then show up for sale the first time right now.
There is one seller listing a bunch of cards he must have submitted a couple of years ago, because they are all coming in with 40M item numbers, but are in the Newly Listed section, so this is the first time they've been priced.

Congrats on saving 20%.

My 3-Week G processed this morning - two days late and 20% off. Now...how about shipping my cards.

Swipe79 · 02-13-2021, 01:21 PM

You may need to change your expectations a little.

Baseball and basketball are selling well right now because one is in season and the other is coming up. A couple hundred cards (almost exclusively football) is not that many and it leaves a pretty narrow focus for buyers. For reference, I have close to 3,000 cards in my port right now and I sell around 20-30 cards most days.

Unless you want to drop prices to "steal" status things will probably move at a pretty slow pace until people start to think about football again. If you want sales all year round, it's best to have a variety of sports and types of cards.

Yeah, I plan to expand. I am huge on NFL and I know enough about WWE to get into that as well. I also tried a few Star Wars blasters recently (Mandalorian). However, when it comes to NBA, NHL, etc. I don't know a lot and need to research and learn about the sport itself.

Swipe79 · 02-13-2021, 06:13 PM

Sounds like a solid plan - variety and also having new stuff in your account. Run a small sale to get eyes as well.

Speaking of sales......someone I know has a nice one running right now..

My Current Year - 3 Week is about 5 weeks past due and they only added 4 of the 200 cards. The 4 they added came the day before the estimated due date and nothing else since with the 196 other cards. How long has Current Year - 3 Week been taking everyone else?

A couple months based on the responses in this thread.

Thanks for the purchases!

Those were fun and a great value for a while, until they jacked the price up.
