Because if they did it a bunch of times a year Black Friday wouldn't bring them as much business IMO.
COMC has really slowed down recently it seems like.

I agree which is why they should try and have the free shipping sales for buyers and free ads for sellers more often. It's great how many dupes people send in. I wonder how much it has hurt not having the free Beckett pricing for everything.

It seems like business started to decline rapidly after the Beckett fiasco.
I've been finding more and more people that are just listing way way over ebay. I don't understand why people would think that people on COMC are going to pay double on there as opposed to ebay.
I have most of my stuff priced for dirt cheap and still haven't sold anything in weeks. And its not like I have things that people don't want. Tons of bowman stuff, color, parallels, GU. I think I'm not going to be sending in anymore things.
The one thing that I do like is I'm able to buy tons of Gardner low end stuff for my Gardner PC and it only costs 3 dollars to ship.

Prices do seem higher.
I do like the new filter they have on the Promotions that displays the % off BV. There is one guy running a Promotion for 25% off his prices, but his sales shows up as only 1% off BV because he had his prices jacked up.

Yeah I like that filter too. So many sellers will run a 50% off sale but right before that just double all their prices. Its absurd.

I just started a 3 day 50% off promotion. Already moved enough low end stuff to cover the promotion cost. Just about everything I have priced higher than $10 is stuff that I have the only one on there, so I'm hopeful that stuff gets some action. Only uploaded stuff a month ago, so figure it will be slow until the season starts

Nice. Some sellers run promotions the right way but the majority don't IMO.

Just started on comc. Listed 80 items with the $20 first time seller credit and I'm enjoying it so far.
The majority of the stuff I listed and have sold has been low end and I've been striving to be competitive in price.

I'm just glad I finally managed to unload some of the Iwamura and Fukudome Calbee cards I submitted a couple of years ago. Fading Japanese All Stars don't sell like they used to.

Fading Japanese All Stars sold well at one point?

Oh yeah, sales were brisk before they actually made their respective MLB debuts. When .320 hitters in Japan become .250 hitters in the US, things tend to cool down a bit.

Ouch.
He has pulled that one on me twice. I will never make another offer or buy from him again.

I actually don't like that offers can be made on COMC. Items used to be priced to sell, not to generate a bigger offer

Raising prices after an offer always stumps me. Unless it's a really hot card/player, all raising it does is piss off the guy who offered and make people less likely to offer going forwards
He just did that to me a week ago. That's messed up.

It seems like a fairly common practice so I guess it's a risk to try and get a better price on a card.
