Understatement. As an aside, I think pwcc’s most recent auction weak - that recycled Cobb PC is a highlight, and it’s busted.

I was there most of the week. For those actually interested, I went walking by there a number of times, as it was both near the restrooms and near the ebay booth where they were handing out $10 coupons. They were normally empty or had folks there in ones and twos looking at the displays of cards. I saw one or two people either selling or consigning, seated at a table talking with a PWCC rep. Other than that, it was one of the quietest and most empty setups in the entire convention center.

Extending the deadline...
...because they didn't get the consignments they were expecting?

eBay has a booth? |

ebay had a setup that was about 15x15 with a countertop set up on 3 sides, with a handful of ipads. You walked up and entered your name, email, phone number, and answered one or two questions about whether or not you sold things on ebay, and they entered you into a raffle and gave you a $10 off coupon that is useable on any transaction for more than $10. It was actually a heck of a deal. I *may* have gone back a couple of times to get extra coupons. They worked right away, we used a couple from right inside the convention center. The folks there were very nice and quite friendly. They even gave us little ebay Sharpies.

I think Brent is learning the hard way what Ed Norton said many year ago about the sewer, "be nice to the people you meet on the way up . . . because you are going to meet the same people on the way down."

StockX was right behind eBay. It is trying to be an eBay alternative with PSA graded cards in the major sports. Their deal is that they act as an escrow: you ship to them, they get items to the buyers, so no horse-arounds with delivery. The rep told me that they recently had a very favorable evaluation with some venture capital people and expect a very large investment to fuel the expansion into other sports cards. There are no listing fees and you don't send them the card until payment is in hand. I hope they do emerge as a viable eBay alternative; if not, at least they had good snacks at the booth.

Exactly what I was thinking. We can't talk about the scandal, but I can tell you we use only the finest shag carpets with our displays. That's helpful.

I hear certain lawyers will only walk on the most plush carpet. When I heard there were only hundreds of cards altered I thought of the shark tank Mr. Wonderful saying....when a business is a dud "Your business will make you HUNDREDS of dollars......but it's not worth investing in, I am out!!"
The few times I walked by the PWCC booth there weren't too many people at it. .

Now that would have been entertaining -- the Wizard of Oswego trying to convince the Shark Tank folks to invest in his notes or vault or whatever.

Would've been fascinating, and even cooler to see Mr. Wonderful tear into Brent's "vision".... "I like the Vault idea, but tell me how you arrived at these Tenets". And where are all these recently graded MINT cards coming from? And how many more are there? Too bad they are now more likely to be cast in a starring role of American Greed.

Just received an email from PWCC...
"....Vault ingestion fees are waived for purchases from a PWCC Auction so the only fee for this service is the fee for the first year of storage, equal to 0.5% of the market value of the assets." I would never consider any vault that's going to INGEST my collection but that's just me. To me ingestion means something absorbed that doesnt come out looking the same |

I am a bit surprised that in this environment they are out there encouraging people to avoid sales tax, but that's just me.

Ive never once purchased anything from PWCC Marketplace so they are confused there
No shame in their game |

Nobody would ship to the Vault to avoid sales tax, now would they? And it's not being marketed to encourage that, is it? It must be the cynic in me reading it that way.

Are you insinuating that you have your pwcc purchases stored in their vault and when it comes time to sell...lookie here....while your cards were being stored PWCC decided that your cards were worthy of a bump and they had their doctors work them over...resubmit them and now they're worth even more...for everyone?!?!

I usually quit reading when someone uses words like "Vault ingestion."

He means something like "accession," presumably.

As a former 220 pound gymnast, I can only comment on vault indigestion, which can be associated with projectile regurgitation.
