Back on topic: Most of my large purchases are "port sale" buys on COMC, where the normal rate for buying collections is 15-30% of the initial list price of the cards on COMC. My best buy was a collection of 5,000 cards that were initially listed at $10,000 individually that I negotiated the seller down to $1,100. However, many of those cards listed for $1 each originally were actually $2-5 cards that I repriced even higher once I got them.

That port buy is what made me so interested in COMC and started my collection of cards this past couple of years.

What's a port buy?
