  • This is the first video in an ongoing series of videos that I will release periodically that is a guide to using COMC. COMC is one of the largest sports cards marketplaces online, and it is a platform I have been using quite a lot of. This video will look at how to get started on the right foundation, and then in future videos we will look at a variety of strategies, approaches and things that can help you with using COMC. Hopefully this series is helpful for you!

    Great stuff for the beginner getting into comc. Like you I have tons of cards on comc, waiting for a shipment of purchased cards. Thanks for sharing

    Amazing! Very informative and useful. Personally, I have been hesitant of using any online platform. After this video, many of us will understand the payment structure. Thank you for taking the time to put this together. Looking forward to more.

    Been using comc for ages but still not aware of all the bells and whistles...so I'll be along for the whole series. SRP and hsitory points is a funny one, not overly valuable in themselves, but the sheer potential for comc to know the most up to date selling price for a whole bunch of cards is almost unrivalled! Imagine if all those data poitns were added to 120point for example...

      I really do wish COMC could add its sales data to the mix and be freely accessible. Transparency in the sports card market is good. COMC has lots of data.

    Great video thank you so much! Have you ever considered buying a port and just buying another persons comc store? Seems like there are some good deals

    • @scoa
      @scoa  8 місяців тому +1

      I used to look to do that, but its really hard to find the good deals. When you look closely at most ports, it seems like mostly junk. I used to look at it regularly to try to find good deals, but never really found much. I did buy a port once, but it was a small one for like $60.

    Great video.
    I hate they charge TAX on store credit.
    I did not know about waiving the shipping fee when I buy. I seldom buy.

      I didn't know they charge tax on store credit either, but I'm in Oregon so I don't pay that particular tax. I've actually only ever lived in a place that has sales tax for one year of my life and it never failed to weird me out lol. For the full year I kept doing double takes, like wait what that wasn't the right price

    totally agree that SRP is useless. They should get rid of it, even more not for each and every card a SRP is available. So what to do with it. The history credit seems to be a money grab? If I want to know the price on bigger overall markets, everybody goes to 130piont or ebey. So what does comc really want to sell me with that history. What the cards have sold for on their platform. Hm, that is not the overall market price, so nice try. Comc has automated that feature anyway. be more customer friendly, you have already fees for conignment plus the 25c / $1 fee on top (for whatever that is), the 5% fee for sales, and 10% cash out fee. Those are a lot of fees, if your business can't survive without history credits you may overthink your business strategy?!

    • @scoa

      Yeah, I agree with you on all that. Getting rid of SRP is better than leaving it the way it is. I will look at future videos how it actually gives room for people to make really bad decisions or even for bad actors to be deceiving when doing things like pricing their full ports for sale. They've either gotta get a way for it to automatically change to reflect something close to like an average real comp value or just get rid of it completely.
      And I agree about the history points too. I'd say either give all access to all users or just don't have it. They are making so much money from me, from all those little fees you talk about when I am selling at a decent volume, that the fact I have to add credit to the store or outright buy history points is the only way to access them feels wrong. And the history points have their limitations anyways, since you can't really look through and see more recent sales prices or anything, just a large picture of 4 years worth of stuff. That far zoomed out has limitations in its usefulness. It's not data worth paying extra for.
