Sport Slots? Is that like a casino game?

Its great for buyers, have no clue if it would be worth your time (it doesn't seem like an attractive option for me personally)

Not a lot of traffic there anymore, but sometimes a good place to pick up low value cards to finish sets

Might be worth while to just use the b/s/t here with a spreadsheet or listing of your stuff. Update it as needed, etc

This site was a honey hole during 2020-21 for cheap base cards and Prizms to flip.

I'm one of the largest sellers on Sportlots. IMO, it's worth selling on there. The site has just undergone an upgrade. If you haven't been on there in awhile, you might want to check it out!

Seconded, I use it for set building. Actually not a huge fan of the new interface but I’m sure I’ll get used to it.

Don't believe people that tell you it's dead for sellers. I sell about a grand every month and plan on clearing 2k with S1 and Prizm releasing this month. I have quite a few buyers that will even wait for my inventory to upload for each set before they do their set filling. It's all about having fair prices, shipping that is reasonable, and be fast.

I love buying there but the new format is awful. Why they thought that was a good idea is a mystery to me.

This is the way. I always keep checking for listings when the new products drop. Shipping isn’t always the fastest but it’s definitely the cheapest.

I sell on it. Since the update I have seen a heavy dip in sales, could be coincidental. If you do decide to sell I suggest getting your inventory loaded prior to actually selling, and open the store on the first day of the month.

I buy and sell on it. Buying has been a PITA lately with idiot sellers not packaging cards properly.

I know the old interface was outdated, but it worked and I liked it. Not crazy about the new one honestly.

I haven’t bought anything for a few months but I just haven’t been buying anything lately. I need to finish a few sets so I will probably be buying some sooner or later.

Never heard of this place but it sounds like this is where everyone goes to sell their common base cards rather than throwing them out like any reasonable person would?

the old interface was simple, compact and easy. 1998 internet sometimes was better.

There is something within me that just won't let me throw away a baseball card. I'm very unreasonable.

Packaging cards properly? It's pretty much PWE right with cards of that sort? Are people just sloppy and they put a bare card in a PWE???

They have a concept called the box, so instead of the seller sending straight to me they send it to the box ..then many times you get really cheap shipping. They can do this because they may have 15 customers choosing the box and they just send all 15 orders to the box. Then I may have 20 sellers I am buying from and then I just wait until they all get to the box and get one shipment to me.
It's much more economical this way and I also doubt many people are just buying one card from a seller unless it's a really expensive card which is not what sport lots specializes in. You'd need to buy a good 10 cards or more from a seller to make it worth your while and for the shipping to make sense.

Ah, I see...assuming shipping to the box can cause some issues at times.
