COMC sellers suck.

maxe0213 · Feb 18, 2015

Just like many of the other complaints. I recently tried to offer on a chrome auto. I sent an offer for three bucks below the offer price (I was ready to pay the list price, but was seeing if they could negotiate.) So I got an email that they declined and I logged back in to purchase it. However, the price was now bumped up by 5 bucks to a price I do not want to pay. It was a 35 dollar card or so and I offered 32.

That seller has now lost by business forever and will never purchase from them again.

F' ing ridiculous. If this was ebay, oh the scathing message they would receive from me.

Happens all the time. There's another thread around here about it.

Yeah I've seen it. Couldn't find it though.

Its just a ridiculous selling practice in my opinion and it frustrates the hell out of me lol.

Why don't you post what seller that is. What you describe happens for a variety of reasons - some are legitimate and others are not.

Your title makes it sound like all sellers on COMC suck, whereas it was really just one. My experience is that a few do.

Agreed, be specific! Don't paint all sellers with the same brush. You clearly haven't submitted any offers on any of my cards. Until you give me the opportunity to reject and reprice something, I don't belong to that club.

I'll wait.

Ha that old thread was one that I started, yes I find this practice frustrating, I don't know why sellers think that this is a good way to conduct business. I actually overall love COMC but I do think that their prices have cycled up a little bit. But I think as sellers sit on their cards longer and more copies come onto the site it will settle things down again. Also I've found it helps to just be willing to walk away if it's not the deal you want, usually with patience you can get the card your looking for, at the price you want to pay.

I think I've maybe raised the price of one of my cards once, at most twice, and both times it's been because I priced it incorrectly at the get go, and adjusted it to market price.

Rarely anything I have isn't either the lowest priced on the site or the only one, and I'm always down to move inventory

Of course, the other part of your sentence was,,, I was willing to pay the full price.

If you knew it was a good deal, why give the seller an alert they may have underpriced an item. Grab said item and move on.

If only COMC had a message board. Oh, imagine the fun that could be had. So many sellers would be publicly called-out for being morons.

It wasn't a good deal. The original price would've been about ebay maybe slightly above. Why not try to save that little extra credit so I can get something else too. Smh.

So true, so true.

The seller was Amberkow or something very similar to that.

I didn't not mean to state that all sellers suck

I know that plenty are very good sellers (I myself sell on there and accept virtually any offer I receive.) It just seems like quite a few sellers are starting to do this.

You don't really have anything I'm looking for. I have made quite a bit of credit after my submission so I'm trying to buy a few higher end cards instead of lower end stuff.

Well then, I think we have identified your problem. You're collecting the wrong stuff! If you were collecting the stuff I sell, you wouldn't be having these problems. Just sayin....

LOL! I like that. That is funny.

Gotcha - there are a couple of guys on the site notorious for doing what you describe and this isn't one of them.

Check out Maskerede - I bought some nice stuff from him last night and he had some other deals I was tempted to pull the trigger on.

Since November I think I've added $400 in credit. Of that, 95% has gone to Maskerede. He had some great deals on 2012/2013 Panini USA cards. When he does sales he does not mess around.

He had a bunch of sick patches and autographs from Trinity in his port last night. I bought a few of them.

I like to think I have some good deals as well - auto accept at 20% off of my prices - http://www.comc.com/Users/XFactor,sh,i12

Didn't accept my offer, I was countered....

Yeah I went and bought a Meadows Elite Die Cut Auto for well below ebay.

Nice price on his stuff.

I don't think I'll be buying from you

You undercut me all the time. Do you check your cards prices every single day?
