I usually firs...I hardly ever use the cart at COMC. I usually first add a card to my watch list. The watch list acts the same as the cart but without the potential purchase claim. So often a card will be sold off my list and I will have to search for another copy to put on my watch list, or if the card is flying out the door and I have the "credit" I'll pull the purchase trigger and hold the card until I am ready for more to ship. Right now my purchased waiting to ship cards is 14 (I've been buying a few here and there every few days) and I have a huge watch list of 60-some or more cards. I need to buy more credit to buy more from my list and to get a decent sized shipment sent. Harder to find cards or cards that keep getting sold off the watch list I purchase ASAP and let them wait for shipping.CaptKirk42https://www.blogger.com/profile/16039278539984069944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-79600412402521622802019-05-10T13:02:13.420-04:002019-05-10T13:02:13.420-04:00Michael, I too use the COMC watch list. And yes wh...Michael, I too use the COMC watch list. And yes when the copy of a card you are looking at gets sold and you have to search for another copy. Sometimes when a card gets sold from my watch list like that when I search for another copy instead of adding it back to my watch list. Sometimes I have to buy a copy because it keeps selling. About 95% of the time I will watch the cheapest copy of a card, or the cheapest but still nice looking one. I sometimes skip super off centered cards or cards with too much missing paper damage.CaptKirk42https://www.blogger.com/profile/16039278539984069944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-40322836309786471662019-05-10T12:49:40.831-04:002019-05-10T12:49:40.831-04:00I don't use the COMC cart.

Then once I have a bunch of cards sitting in my inventory I ship them all together. I've had cards sitting in inventory for months upon months. <br /><br />I have also had good luck with Sportlots. Mostly for commons though. <br /><br />http://thoughtsandsox.blogspot.com/2019/04/going-blind.htmlAdamEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107347958456472504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-81355487446875419542019-05-10T11:26:33.833-04:002019-05-10T11:26:33.833-04:00I have a theory that my COMC cart is associated wi...I have a theory that my COMC cart is associated with a particular web browser and computer (probably using cookies or some such geekery).<br />I prefer adding cards to a watch list, which follows my user ID wherever I log into COMC.<br /><br />The other frustrating aspect is when multiple copies of a card are for sale, but the particular one I'd flagged is sold. Sometimes I wish a second string copy could must appear in my cart in place of the one no longer for sale.Michael Otthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02686386203568984793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-69133494162218317272019-05-10T08:57:57.576-04:002019-05-10T08:57:57.576-04:00I've said before that I usually start out on C...I've said before that I usually start out on COMC looking for a couple oddballs, and most of the time find a seller on Sportlots that's much cheaper overall. I did put in a COMC order about a month ago. The only way that I let stuff sit in the cart is if I've picked them out at work and can't get to finishing the purchase at home for a day or two. Otherwise, I buy right away.<br /><br />I was on last night and decided to find my last five or six 2005 Donruss Champions. Ended up with about 120 cards from the same seller in SportLots.GCAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14713246271197550543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-8403326329443820402019-05-10T08:42:53.708-04:002019-05-10T08:42:53.708-04:00I don’t visit the comc site to often.

Then when you click the buy button, it is instantly yours. <br /><br />I’m not positive on cart vs. non-cart prices. But I have been very happy disposing of all my random $2 cards pulled from buying some baseball cards with my groceries most weeks. Then I can get all the $1 inserts, etc. I want for various collecting projects. It’s like trading for me, really. No other way I could trade a 2018 Opening Day Rhys Hoskins insert for 3 2018 Big League Nickname parallels like I did today, basically. <br /><br />The only real key is to not send in cards with too many copies already listed. <br /><br />BaseSetCallinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05508114484929386332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-21662024023029552082019-05-09T22:11:03.516-04:002019-05-09T22:11:03.516-04:00I do the same as Billy but honestly didn't kno...I do the same as Billy but honestly didn't know you could lose cards from the cart.
