Do you/would you store base chromes on thepit?

Depends. Are they chromes of guys that are “longshots”- e.g. going to cost $.10 to store a card of some 27 yo who may never make it and even if he does, it’s going to be a $1 card? Are they guys who are going to likely move up in price fairly soon? Do you just have 1-2 chromes of each guy or do you have 10+? Would it be better to sell the chromes in 1 large lot now + take that $ + put it into something else? For every buchholz, there are a lot of duds and more often than not, it’s better for people to sell their random chromes in bulk on ebay.

I have a bunch of chromes that are pretty much taking up space right now and are all available for trade on thepit. I was wondering if anyone has any opinions about just storing cards there. I know they won't necessarily send me the exact copies if i ask for them back but thats not a concern of mine right now. It costs $0.10 per card to place them into my portfolio. Its also really easy to sell and dropship cards from thepit. Looking for any good/bad stories or experiences with them. I know that i kept my Buchholz in there and made out real well after his no-no so I am leaning towards moving all the chromes that are on their market there tomorrow.

why send them when you dont have too. You can still sell them w/o having the cards there.

No idea. But i submitted 36 cards like 2 months ago and then a -$3.60 balance appeared and when I asked thepit staff they told me about the $0.10 per card charge.

I've never heard of the .10 thing. You sure about this?

NM: Your right. Still worth it. 100 cards of a player get hot. You can sell instantly and usually for more. Worth the $10.

Thepit is just as good as Ebay when it comes to a player getting hot, called up, or throwing a no-no etc. People buy like crazy without really thinking about it. Most recent example. Wade Davis chromes were selling better on thepit.com than Ebay.

I agree 100%. thepit offers a chance to move a lot of quantity quickly. It's far less of a hassle than eBay, that's for sure and allows you do sell in a small window of time.

Ebay is such a hassle. Thepit makes it simple to unload bulk. No shipping, complaining buyers, returns, chargebacks, etc. Like someone said earlier. Sometimes the window is small and thepit lets you take advantage of it. Unlike Ebay.
