COMC: Hope it's not a bait and switch

Anthony · Feb 23, 2013

I bought this card on COMC. I e-mailed them and hope to get a replacement or my money back. The bottom corner looked rough on the COMC scan, but I got the card today and that bottom corner is beat.

edit: Yeah, it's the same card--just more damaged than the original scan from COMC shows. I guess the next time I look at an image on COMC I should assume any damage should be considered as more significant than shown. Good to know going forward.

Looks like the same exact card but there was problems with the bottom corner layering already and then it probably got further damaged when it was put into a penny sleeve.

Yeah, the bottom left corner looked bad, already.

Also, it would have had to have been COMC to "bait and switch", right? I don't sell through them, but don't they scan and ship themselves?

that bottom left corner is hammered in the original scan. I'm sure you can still return it if you'd like.

You'll get a refund for sure. COMC's customer service is top-of-the-line. Just email them and say you weren't happy with the condition of one of the cards you received. They'll refund you no questions asked.

They will probably give you a refund and not even ask why you would buy a card with a scan you admit has a rough corner and then ask to return it.

So you bought a damaged card....and then want to return it because it's too damaged?

They'll give you the refund, but you're the exact person I try to avoid on eBay. My blocked list thanks you for making this thread.

I highly doubt COMC did a bait and switch. I must say they are not very careful handling thicker cards though.

email their customer service and they'll give you a refund no problem. I've had to do it before and never had issues

if you look at the bottom corner, and the top right edge, it's the same exact card. just looks like your scanner is a little bit clearer than whatever they used

Somebody said it earlier in the thread, I think it's pretty clear that the bottom left corner was compromised, and then when a packaging person at comc put it in a penny sleeve it was wrecked some more. They aren't trying to bait and switch or show misleading scans, but the packaging department shouldn't have sent out a card they damaged further. You won't have any problem getting a refund.

I can tell you that I've bought about 1,500 cards on comc and I've had issues like that with fewer than 5 cards. No matter how good a seller/site is there will be screwups once in a while. At least they'll fix the issue. I mean I've bought new paperback books on amazon before where they were accidentally packed poorly and the cover got creased, but if I cared enough to get it replaced or get a refund they'd be on top of it. People make mistakes.

Got an e-mail response from COMC. I just need to send it back for the refund--a non-issue, ultimately.
