These are currently listed on COMC by Deans. They are listed as Mint, but they look more like VG. I wonder if they are accepting offers?

They've done this a couple of different times with VG-EX level cards listed for thousands of dollars as Mint. I just keep reporting them to COMC to have them removed. Why they haven't restricted Dean's from making fools of COMC I am not sure. Since Dean's has possession of the cards, I guess they're not subject to the upgraded storage fees for cards over $50 each.
Subject them to that fee on cards like this and they'd owe some coin and be less likely to repeat this mistake or show of impertinence.

You can quickly find what you paid for a card while on its page, but what if you sell/ship it. Can you still see purchase history from here?

Newgistics, now, and the off-chance that you've marked your own cards to be shipped and accidentally send them along with the cards you sell to someone else. The other issue I could see is not changing your address back and sending additional packages to the wrong person.
I am a bigger fan of sending them to myself and labeling/packing myself. Less room for errors.

You can still see your purchase price in the overall page at https://www.comc.com/Manage/Purchases?PurchaseYear=2019 or by checking the prices in the https://www.comc.com/Manage/ShipmentHistory

If I were to use the bulk editor to lower prices across my port is that the only way to reflect a price change on the eBay listings?

I feel like I may be missing out on sales when my port is on sale (using the promotions manager) but those sale prices are not posted on eBay.

Sent hundreds of packages to other people. Never had a problem. The address defaults back to your address after you send a package. Will not use ground (newgistics) for shipment to other people.

You could also go into the individual items and mark them down that way. It'll get updated on eBay at some point. I believe people posting here have said sometimes in about an hour but I would give it up to a day to see it reflected.

Just keep in mind your sale price on COMC will now be even lower, if that was also your intention.

MasonAsher · 12-19-2019, 12:03 PM

If I buy something on COMC, do I have to have it shipped or can I leave it in the store? I'm not seeing an option to "not" ship it.

Thank you. I was planning to pause the COMC sale and lower prices to see what moves on ebay. Then resume another COMC sale after that.

I do not want to continuously increase the COMC sale percentage without giving ebay a shot also.

This is my liquidation plan! 5% COMC Sale one week, Then lower all prices 5% the next week. Then another 5% COMC sale the next week, Lower all prices 5% the week after. and on and on.....

Yeah, you can either just leave it in your inventory(NFS) OR you can re-list at a new price, just make sure you click the "save" icon after repricing.

Thanks -- I was scared because I didn't see an option to place in inventory prior to buying with Paypal, but I used store credit and got it. Thanks!

Does anyone know what the formula or % is that COMC marks up cards when they list them on Ebay? Is it a different % for cards under/over a certain amount? Have they stopped offering free shipping on ebay? Looks like all cards are $4.99 now.

WOW! You have some sick, sick cards in your port.

And you're welcome. Best of luck to you, now I see why you are so worried about it.

Yes but it would be a lot more convenient to see it on the item page

mjohnatgt · 12-19-2019, 05:07 PM

I mark all my cards over $2.50 down 6% every month or two, and run sales regularly as well. So that's how I do it, sportscardsnow.

Graded or raw? And if graded, any of the Finest/90s Chrome cards? Those cards are probably all sheet cut anyway. That's why I note them separately.

sfgiants4life · 12-19-2019, 09:06 PM

Raw...some old Donruss Elite's. I took delivery a long time ago. I think it came from StorageUnitFinds

I'd measure them if you can find them and go from there. Probably lower risk, but old Donruss Elites are a card that could be trimmed and still get a 9, and thus it would be sold raw in a min 10 sub.

sfgiants4life · 12-19-2019, 09:12 PM

I'll check..but chances are they are long gone.

sfgiants4life · 12-19-2019, 09:15 PM

So...how long before they get removed from COMC? A month?
