Do you think COMCs should offer the service at a cost? Beckett would have an agreement with COMCs and people could have the service if paid for. I don't know if that'd work or if anyone would pay for it but would it be better than just removing it?[/QUOTET]

To answer your question, yes COMC should offer that service at a cost. Like I said, if I were trading cards in the million card giveaway --- it was no real secret that most of hte players used COMC to look up their cards values. Now, yes COMC should charge for that service since that is offered through their system. It is a legit cost of their buisness to license (sic) data from Beckett. Hey, I wish that information was still free BUT COMC is correct on that and that is the real reason when all is said and done as to why this needs to be a paid service. Otherwise, it's a work around the Beckett system and that is not fair to either COMC or Beckett.

If they would only publish their sales data, there would be no need for Beckett pricing.

I'm not sure if I would want them to do this. I would go insane seeing all the deals I missed out on. It's just better than I not know :mrgreen:

Didn't Naxcom do this very thing? And we all see how that worked out for them.

I thought Naxcom's primary failings were their awful interface and terrible database.

Therion · Oct 8, 2012

I more meant that Naxcom tried the tracking thing and it almost never told you anything that was worth knowing.

Why would anybody continue to buy a large amount of the more common cards from comc when many of the dealers on beckett marketplace have free shipping on orders of $50.00 or more no matter how many cards are ordered? 25 cents per card is just pure greed.

It's always been 25 cents per card unless you ordered in bulk, when it was 15 cents per. You raise a vaild point though. However, that's not COMC's problem.

RustyGreerFan · Oct 9, 2012

I would disagree that it is greed. COMC is completely different than sellers on Beckett. For what COMC offers, they have never been that great for commons UNLESS you are very particular, in which case they are awesome. You get the giant scans of front and back. They are also different in many other ways including the fact that they have to have actual employees identify the cards and process them, actual employees pull the cards from their giant inventory, they have overhead, etc. They are just a completely different animal.

Yes, Burbank can make more sense than COMC. But, for me, it's pretty rare that I want to buy $50 of commons. I think I have only done that once in my life.

It will be their problem when customers take their business else where and they lose money. It doesn't cost 25 cents to ship an additional card. Give me a break.

Again, they have always charged that and it hasn't hurt their business.

This is true but it does cost $3 usually for a card on eBay, so to be able to accumulate verious cards on their site and ship in one single order, that is worth the money to me. I pick up little cards here and there because of this... otherwise, I pass on them on eBay because I'll need a $1 card or less and pay 3x that in shipping.

and how much is a toploader, $0.20?

I used to click "add toploader" to my cards but recently I"ve just been making shipment requests without using that option and in each case all of my cards (or at least the more expensive ones) have been toploaded.

Their packaging is awesome.

It is amazing. I never spend the $$ on top-loaders, and my cards are always packed securely in nice, neat, new penny sleeves.

If they did that, it would be a lot harder to flip cards on there. Because if someone could look up and see you only paid $5 for a card, it would be harder to ask $20, even if that is what the card is worth.

That's true, but you could always flip them on ebay.
