RT if you used both sides of the binder page in the early 90's

It’s the 50th anniversary of the “Rudy” game tomorrow. I likely have one of the more extensive collections from that game. Well, I’m selling it all. The story and the person has soured on me. https://t.co/Dr27CuqWTT

And psst - COMC - don't change just because I posted this!

My Estimated Security Fee for next month is down to $10.37 and that savings is going to my pocket, big or small Thanks for coming to my ted(card)Talk

Do I still have cards subject to the Enhanced Security Fee? Absolutely (Some might be overpriced too, I don't care! ping me if interested)

By spending about 20 minutes just going thru those 400+ listings on that single view, I got my items subject to the fee down to sub-200. In none of these cases did I feel I was compromising on the value of the card, and I even got a few quick sales from the price fixes!

However, here's the turn: as I went thru my listings yeah some merited $100/$500/$1K+ price tags... There were also relics of 2021 that were priced at $52 & not moving Countless cards (mainly Bowman Prospects & NBA Silvers) were +$100 while comparable ones were avail for $7

Thankfully, it's not exactly something COMC is trying to hide In your dashboard, you can filter to just items subject to the fee very easily The first time I did, there were +400 Items I had that were subject to the fee Again... 😀 or 🥸, depends on you

Is that high? Is that low? I don't know. But it is my money. So I went back to see what that fee is for: "Applies only to items with a List Price of $50.01 or more" and also noticed that 1¢ is PER DAY on those items... that can add up quick

I sell enough expensive cards on COMC that I had never dove in to it before myself, always just chalked it up to "I'm doing fine and profiting every month, let's not line-item it all." For some reason, this month, I just thought I'd review it. -> $16.32 a month

On the surface, it's incredibly nominal - 1¢ for every $1,000 you have listed... no big deal right? If you are a small seller, it's super tiny. If you are a huge seller, it's a small fraction seemingly.

So, what is it? The answer lies in this incredibly boring and a bit confusing fee, the Enhanced Security Fee

Well, sixty bucks is sixty bucks, so yeah, this meant a lot to me to realise overall that I could make a few easy changes and save this much money.

2nd - you may be thinking, "$60 in fees??? That's all this build up was for, $60 a year???"

1st - you may be thinking, "$60 in fees??? How are you spending that much in fees there?"

Ok, after 10 Years selling on COMC, I just learned a trick (or detail) that is going to save me ~$60 a year in fees moving forward.

Had a thought this morning... Based on my tweets, do you think I am:

Let’s be clear: bidding on your own cards is WRONG. There’s no gray area here. It’s WRONG. Don’t do it.

Can’t even make this up.. 2 minutes later this song comes on the randomizer 😂

dang... walking distance from my old apt
