All I want to do is talk about COMC - Page 98

xbignick · 09-25-2017, 03:27 PM

Reminds me of those vending machines that take your money and don't register. Bought $20 and then $25.

Really want to buy a few from a person's sale, feel free to check out my link to the left...a couple items like the psa Trout under or psa 10 seager RC under ebay. Just lowered a few.

Found a nicely priced card and can't even buy it.

It took about 20 or so minutes, but it finally showed up for me.

(don't purchase more store credit, unless you want more than one transaction)

I'm so close to just having anything worth $15+ send back to me and going the ebay route, even though I don't want to. Nothing is moving on there anymore. Just ran a 50% off sale, and almost the only stuff that went was stuff under 0.50. I don't want to deal with the raw cards and selling them, but I think it would be better than just stagnating them on COMC. Maybe it will pick up in October, but I doubt it

Having an average month sales-wise. Pumping new inventory in every other week seems to help. Will probably run my end of month sale this week, but I don't think I'd spent any money on promotions so far this month.

sfgiants4life · 09-26-2017, 12:57 AM

I know some of you track the new ebay listings from COMC. Is it a steady decline in total listings? I have been starting to follow this and I notice that total listings has declined. As well as my listings.

I started to follow this because I noticed a steep downturn in sales. I am at around a 1/3 of the sales I've been averaging over the last six months. I wonder if it is the decline in ebay stuff. I know a few others have mentioned declines.

Any thoughts on this?

He had a post looking to buy COMC ports. I sent him a PM and posted in his thread.

Didn't have the decency to reply. bye bye

Swipe79 · 09-26-2017, 08:34 AM

I always thought he was a decent guy. He bought a few different ports from me for fair value. A couple times it didn't work out and I sold to someone else.

Just because he bought your port a few times, doesn't make him a nice guy.
FTR he bought a couple of mine also. That doesn't change my view of him.

Swipe79 · 09-26-2017, 09:51 AM

Are you saying I'm not allowed to have an opinion on the matter? I had a few conversations back and forth with him and always felt he was an okay guy - didn't say he was nice.

Just odd that everyone is deciding to air grievances about the guy after he is banned and can't respond.

Where did I say you're not allowed to have an opinion, I stated my opinion on the guy and it seems I'm not the only one that feels that way.

Bummer, never had an issue with him. But I see it looks like he went off in some other threads. That would be why I avoid those threads. My opinions tend to not run in line with the loudest speakers.

A Shame, but on the COMC front, hopefully I can move my port in the next couple of weeks. Sold probably 20 cards or so this week, so not horrible.

He basically asked to get banned, you know the mods have no problem granting those requests.

Swipe79 · 09-26-2017, 11:04 AM

In my original post, I stated he was a decent guy.

Here is your response. It sure seems like you're letting me know that my opinion is invalid.

This is going to get to a National Anthem thread level of dangerous if we're not careful.

The level of negativity in this one and the other might be equal.

I truly can't comprehend how one can came to that conclusion.
So now it seems like I did. I can tell you, no one else will came to the same conclusion you did.

Swipe79 · 09-26-2017, 12:51 PM

It'd be like someone stating their opinion as, "I think Topps is decent. Sometimes I buy it, sometimes I don't."

A person overhears this and says, "Just because you've purchased Topps before doesn't make it nice."

Do you see it now? It just seems like you were saying I couldn't think he was a decent guy, because in your opinion he's not.

Different subjects of course, but alot of dislike for COMC on a daily basis.

It seems more are getting out than in, sluggish sales etc.

Not sure if it's just a loud few, but COMC seems to be trending down. Not along ago people were loving the ebay partnership etc.
