Default COMC flipping thread

I've been on COMC (just sent in another batch of 400 cards) for probably six months now, and have done a little of the flipping (and a lot of the Challenges) in order to pay for my submission fees. I also bought one port from another user, and have sold a few from that group. I've never blown out my discounts since I'm lowest on site or better condition than cheapest, but always accept up to 20% off and listen to offers of 50% off, and have accepted some of them.
Here are some of my flips:
1998 Shannon Sharpe printing plate Was $25.25 SOLD $35 *Unidentified player when I bought it; saw it was Shannon Sharpe and had them list his name; made it easier to sell*
Jameis Winston baseball card Was $9.25 SOLD $8.80 *Should have priced it higher knowing I was lowest on site*
Sean Manaea printing plate Was $8.00 SOLD $12.50
Silk Sitting Bull card Was $7.04 SOLD $18
Justin Upton Auto card Was $6.25 SOLD $7.35
1973 Topps Hank Aaron Was $5.85 SOLD $6.50
Kris Bryant insert Was $4.81 SOLD 2.96 *Bought before the site got flooded, now cheapest is $8*
1963 Roger Maris WS card Was $2.69 SOLD $3.30
1911 Washington Monument Was $2.65 SOLD $3.75
1997 Silver Dan Marino Was $2.17 SOLD $5.90 *part of port purchase*
1997 Bowman Best Chipper Jones Was $1.81 SOLD $2.00
1962 Jell-O Kubek Was $1.75 SOLD $7.50
Early Flag/Indian tobacco cards Were $1 each SOLD $2.25 each

The other cards I've sold were all from the port which I acquired for a dime and re-sold for a dime; still have 200 or so cards from that group. So for those that think there's not bargains on the site, I have found many. You just have to know what cards are worth and jump on them when they get listed undervalued.

I haven't bought anything since Shrove Tuesday since I gave up online purchases for Lent. I've actually done good so far and haven't bought a thing. Hopefully some of you are getting the deals since I've opted out until Easter.
