I think they are probably fine to deal with as a consigner as long as you don't expect to get crazy prices like seen in some of their auctions. It is too easy for folks with a crooked bent to use their services as a platform to manipulate auctions, and they have proven lackluster in going after this element, probably because of all the extra money these auctions bring in.

I think for 90% of mid value items you can basically get the same price from one of the auction houses that advertises here that charges no commission to the consignor. If I had a $100,000 card I might want all the eyeballs of ebay, but for most $250 cards I think you will do just as well elsewhere. I sold with PWCC once and was colossally disappointed. Guess I should have hired a friend to shill for me.

I'm starting to think Steve doesn't care for pwcc.

Seriously, I've consigned with with them multiple times and have no huge complaints, and am frequently surprised at some of the prices I get. The only disappointment I had with them was with modern unopened. For that I would look elsewhere or sell yourself. Otherwise I will continue to use them.

I've bought a lot from them. Some cool stuff. But as far as selling, I can list the odd card or two I see these days on BST or on ebay. I can also type "worthy of consideration" of whatever the magic words are. Also could throw in "has many attributes of a higher grade."

I have never consigned to PWCC (or any AH), and have only purchased a few things from them - all good on each purchase. However, if/when I do consign, I would probably give my rare and/or relatively higher-value cards to one of the big auction houses- I just feel that is the better route for $10k+ or rare cards, as I want the quality (not quantity) eyes looking at that stuff. That said, if I do consign more common cards and/or cards that would likely bring under say $10k, I think I would definitely give PWCC a try.

I might look into JVSC auctions. They run bi-weekly auctions that might be a good fit with your material. I have not consigned with them as I don’t sell much, but I have purchased, and the experience was outstanding.
