Yup. COMC is good for a lot of things, but not prewar. Seems like none of the prewar sellers there have any idea what the stuff is actually worth, and even at a 50% discount, it's still priced at 2x the actual value.
I get the sense that the reason for this is that the vast majority of folks selling on COMC only know about modern cards, and when they somehow get a beat-up Goudey, they get excited and slap a $150 price tag on it without doing any research.
ETA: I just did some browsing around and it's definitely not as bad as it used to be. Very low prewar inventory and not exactly bargains, but prices aren't that outrageous.
