    Comc?

    Hey all..was wondering if COMC is a good place to buy cards?
    I noticed YG's are cheaper there than ebay which is a good thing...but maybe there is a reason for that?
    Can you contact sellers to ask about card condition?
    Is there any other sites to buy lots of cards?

    thanks

    YGs are cheap on COMC because they handle epack for UD. There are so many copies on there it's just a race to the bottom.

    I like COMC. Bonus is being able to combine shipping with multiple sellers. I find it's only worth using the site if you build up a whole bunch of cards and have the stack sent to you at once. One or two cards? Not worth it. The costs can be a little misleading. First off, that's US currency. Shipping is $5, I believe it's $0.25 per additional card, and there's a 5% fee for duties on your total order. Add it all up and convert the currency...not so cheap anymore.

    I've also heard shipping is super slow at the moment. As in months to receive your package.

    Ok cool lots of good info, thanks! I'm thinking 10-20 YG's so it sounds like it maybe worth it.
    cheers

    Yes, I love buying on COMC, but due to the pandemic, shipping is crazy slow!

    COMC has become the world's largest vendor for sports cards. They don't have everything, but you can find almost anything you need on the site. Most common cards be found, and if it's cards from a product that is on ePack you can generally get them for blowout prices.

    As others have mentioned, the pandemic has SIGNIFICANTLY impacted their business. They've been in semi-lockdown throughout and, combined with the hundreds of bored collectors who have been sending their collections in for processing to be stored at COMC, it's a nightmare. I submitted a shipment request for about 55 cards I'd accumulated over a few months on August 28th, paid $35US for "rushed" shipping on that. The cards finally shipped on Thursday. So it's a good time to build up an inventory there, but you will be waiting well into 2021 to actually see the cards in your hands.

    Also, if you want check on ebay for come listings. As they let you combine shipping for 10 days free I believe. As I bought from them on ebay but not from their site. Can avoid the fees from COMC directly as you will deal with comc on ebay versus the site. Just some more food for thought.

    With the exception of stock images from epack releases, all COMC cards can be looked at in relatively high detail (front and back).

    COMC marks up their cards significantly on their BIN auctions on eBay. Unless they are running an auction with actual bidding, I'd suggest going straight to COMC to buy the card rather than BIN on eBay.

    COMC marks up their cards significantly on their BIN auctions on eBay. Unless they are running an auction with actual bidding, I'd suggest going straight to COMC to buy the card rather than BIN on eBay.

    COMC is getting better with this... there is now a “send it to auction” option for COMC account holders. The bidding starts at $0.99 and the final price is the sales price. If you win one of these you have the option to have it added to your COMC account directly (and save on the ridiculous eBay global shipping rates). COMC’s ‘fee’ for this is a $3.00 flat charge plus a percentage. You have to sign up each card to do this (unlike the BIN way below, which is a sign up once and all/most cards are in the program). I suspect COMC and Cardzio use similar mass upload interfaces.




    Re Bin:

    I do agree that the prices are laughable. What COMC does is that once you sign up for the passive eBay listing feature (different than from above), COMC will list random selections from your portfolio at your asking price on COMC plus the eBay slice plus the CPMC slice. A $5 COMC card turns into a $12 eBay via COMC card that way. It was so strange on the first day I saw one of my COMC cards on eBay.... I was using eBay sales values to price my COMC stuff and lo and behold - there is my card #/15. I don’t know what standard COMC uses to pick out these cards for BIN auction - seems like $0.25 all the way up to super high end 1/1 McDavid autos. You get paid out when the transaction on eBay is completed and COMC takes care of everything. They take a small slice of your asking price as a commission.

    I use the COMC eBay auctions as a ‘red flag’ for PC cards having been put up on COMC. 99.999% of the time I just head over to COMC and buy it from the owner and have it put in my portfolio for later shipping.
