Only one member jad22(much respect to you sir) said anything about the cards being listed too cheap.

That's because the Aaron wasn't listed too cheap. It wasn't a "giveaway" price. The same card on Ebay nets what the seller was asking for here. $600 on Ebay is actually LESS than the $550 he was getting here.

If this is a "horror story" you have lived a pretty blessed life.

I don't see it as a question of ethics. It's business. It's up to COMC to list things correctly. It's no different than cherrypicking the obscure variations that aren't listed in Beckett, but are worth a decent premium.

Of course they are going to say it's not available. I'm skeptical. My previous shipment from them included the following from DeansCards:

'64 Mays/Aaron #423 with a '66 Ernie Broglios #423 sticker on back ($1.50)
'64 Kelley/Siebert #552 with a '64 Aspromonte #252 sticker on back ($1.15)

It was handled poorly by COMC. They should have contacted me prior to buying it out of my account when I had it marked for shipment and at least offered my cash back. Since it was considered a sale, the paypal I put in became store credit.
