Looking for input of what to do with cards that don't sell...

[drew1096]

Hi all, just curious what everyone does with all the inserts, rookies, patches, autos etc, that don’t sell on trade sites or eBay.

I’m in the process of selling all my stuff off and I know a bunch won’t sell on eBay so what to do with them after??

Thanks,
Andrew

I have not used it yet to sell, but many HI members seem to have success selling through comc.com, specifically cards they just want to get rid of without all the hassle.

I will let one or more of the experienced members take it from here.

Good luck

I send mine to comc. I send in waves. 1000-1200 cards here, sell singles until my selling volume drops. Then I just sell the port and buy stuff that I want. My mcdavid yg canvas 10, my two Laine YGs in 9.5 abs my two matthews YGs in 9.5 are primarily due to selling $1-$4 cards through comc.

COMC.com. Everyone should be using it at this point.

COMC is a good option, as you can send the cards to them and not worry about storage, shipping, etc.

If there is a lot of low-end stuff you know you'll never, you could always give them away to charity, or give them to kids at halloween?

That's what I started doing with my 90s commons. I mix sets, a full teambag per kid in addition to the candies.

I do the same.

For the most part: Serial Numbered Cards, Inserts, Rookies, Parallels, Jerseys, Autographs - anything I consider low end (and getting $1 + s/h would be tough though forums or eBay) ends up on COMC. I will not send anything from a product that is sold on ePack though.

If you price things at 75 cents or lower, there is no storage fees - you just pay the initial 25 cent-per card loading fee. For things you want more than $1 for... you will have to pay that 1-cent-per-month fee.

After that, it's simple. You sell some stuff here or there, and you build up cash to buy things you want. That port becomes an asset in itself, and can be flipped too. A port with 100s (or 1000s) of cards, even if they're "lower end" is worth something. If you've got 2k cards you paid $500 to list, and your asking price on all of them is 75 cents (so users would pay $1) I would bet there is a market that someone would be the whole lot in the 40-cent-per card range. Is 15 cents per card profit a lot? Nope.... but it's 40 cents x 2000, so you get $800 for the port, which is a $300 profit on a bunch of low end cards you didn't want.

I just wait until I get a decent size amount and then sell it as a lot on eBay. You will not get top dollar but you will get something for pretty much nothing.
