Topps Living Set - Page 168

Bcwcardz · 05-19-2018, 10:22 PM

Well, I had my first living set problem. I got the Pujols week in and it looks like someone stepped on the package because the box is crushed and the cards jostled. Corner problems. It’s only the 3 cards but I want them nice. Should I contact Topps CS or just take it up the whazoo?

Unfortunately I'll never make a dime that way because you will always have the sellers who sell for dirt cheap with free shipping just to make 25 cents forever. That's why I never presell anymore either. With all due respect to Jake and all the hard work he has done I simply let guys like him sell 500 at $5 each (which is basically free) and then when the prices finally go up in a week or two I'll jump in and list all the cards I've been sitting on. Up to this point I have been making great money this way that is of course until all the low lifes out there starting saying that haven't received their cards so they get them for free. Now I'll just lower my initial price a little and add first class shipping for $2.66. It worked well with the replacement Judges I got back from Topps last week. Sold all 18 in 3 days for $18.99 each plus $2.66 shipping. My other option is to sell in bulk and charge for shipping but people don't seem to want to buy more than 2 at a time unfortunately.

If we all charge for shipping then that would solve the problem pretty damn quick but obviously that won't happen. People just suck!

I only had it happen once and now I only ship First Class. I can't play the game of free shipping for a card purchased for .99 cents.

I sell a few cards for .99 and 1.99 and not once in all the years I've been doing this has someone said they never received the card. Now I send a card someone may have paid $14.99 for well protected in a very rigid photo envelope but without tracking and they say it never came.

I would contact topps, recieved my set and although its packed just perfect....cards sandwiched between two foam pieces, could not move, they had the white corner wear thing going on in the black box at the bottom. Annoying

Why and how is amazon selling living set singles ?

Can individuals sell through amazon ? Like check out my cards ?

COMC sellers can opt in to have their cards listed on both eBay and Amazon. We only get 80% of the list price, if sold.

If I list a card at $5.75 on COMC, it shows up on those two sites as $9.99 (0.25 + $3.99 for shipping and handling). If the card sells on eBay or Amazon, I only get $4.60. If I cash out, it's $3.68 for me. To break even on a $3.75 card, I have to sell at $6.33 assuming I want to cash out. It costs $0.30 at a minimum to list a card.

Since topps reps monitor this board/thread, I'm almost positive the Scherzer is on the list for Mayumi, if not already completed and ready to go.

A few BGS 9.5 closed last night. I think they closed on the low side. That is where the market is now. Hoskins only for $107. People were just paying $100 for a raw card.
