COMC---well all know what that is right? Checkoutmycards.com so what does everyone think? I have been a buyer there for a few years and have done the turn around and resell, but I had never sent any cards in until the end of 2010. I have been a satisfied buyer but I am not sure what I think of it as a potential seller. As a cheapskate I of course went for the 8 week listing..... and the cards still aren't listed-- of course the deadline is 2/28 which means they will go up right at the deadline. Which seems mighty convenient. The order has been listed as 35% processed for at least 3 weeks now. This says to me cards are in the system and will get posted at the last minute possible, all in the name of getting sellers to opt for the higher priced faster processing. That may work for some folks, but to me, not sure it's going to work. Oh well I guess I shall see how it goes.
I am working on completing a few trades right now---been awhile and its nice to be working on trade packages.....of course i am waiting on a few addresses to get these packages sent out. Assuming the rain, ice, snow combination we are currently getting doesn't keep me from getting to the Post Office, I am going to get out my first non-North American trade! I have a package ready to ship down under to Jon of RGB Cards who claims to be Australia's foremost baseball card blog since 2010--- and I have to agree!!! So one new trade and a package to my favorite blogger and top trader--- some chap who posting as infrequently as me these days.... I am sure he is working his ass off!!! That would be The Collective Troll of course! So guys look forward to some mail....
Anyone else looking to trade look below for my current want lists...these are the sets I am focused on right now.....
as always....LET'S MAKE A DEAL!!!!

100% agreed on COMC. Last time around, they emailed me saying that the cards were added to my account (at 11pm on deadline day), and when I went to price them all, they still weren't there. Didn't end up getting added until the following afternoon.
We're talking about 100 cards, not 5000. There's no reason it should take them as long as it does.
mine is like 42..... and I had a sneaking suspicion that was going to be the case...... and you confirm it....excellent.....
of course 11 minutes after I posted the previous comment... I get the email saying the cards have been added AND they are available for pricing( I checked- they are). I go to bitching about them and boom they come through with 3 days to spare....who could have known.... now to price some cards..
I love COMC (as a buyer)... not sure if I'll ever send cards in (especially after reading this post). I could understand them pushing it to the deadline date if they're overloaded... but if it's just to get people to pay extra money for faster service... then that's not cool.
Glad to see in your comments that they've prepared your cards with 3 days to spare.
I have been buying like crazy over there for a year and a half and got a coupon on the black friday shipping special for free $10 of processing. Sent my cards in listed them at slowest rate.
Cards were added by COMC day before deadline, and within a few days I had sold a couple cards on semi lowball offers. Then I got an offer for all 80 cards left in my inventory at about 70% of asking price. DONE!
I have also had a group of about 10 cards that were purchases relisted that were bought as a lot.
It seems that there are many flippers on the site who purchase whole inventory from smaller sellers like you and I
Good luck
