It seems as if this is just a formal promotion of what already exists. Amazon already has a lot of signed memorabilia. Some of it is through legit dealers like Mill Creek or Steiner, but at insane markups. And there are others who are suspect and sell material that would certainly be removed from ebay.

Yup.


Especially hate the fact that you can buy a store on Amazon, and they encourage sellers to piggy back off the pictures and descriptions of other sellers.

I've even done it myself with a few items, because they don't let you put up your own listings if you don't pay for an Amazon store. They MAKE you piggyback off other listings.

Their fees are insane and their shipping credits are nowhere near actual cost on many items. Forces you to actually jack the price up on a lot of stuff.

Oh, did I mention you only get paid in 15 day cycles............and then it takes a few days to actually clear your bank.

Yeah, it's funny. Amazon and Ebay should just stop flirting with each other and tie the knot.

amazon used to have auctions, but they didn't do well so ended.

I would guess most sellers sell books on amazon, which may explain the image sharing.

Rich, I have an account with them (checkoutmycards), but I've never purchased store credit. Do you know anyone who has purchased from them?

Thanks.

Default Comc
Chris -- I'm a vendor on that site and on many of the newsgroups people talk about their COMC experiences as buyers.

99.5 percent of time, cards are packed beautifully and safely. In addition, they do their best to put good scans and note any real problems with cards.

It is a very respected site and if there are some Jeter's you need, I would not hesistate to use that site.

Thank you, Rich. That's one thing I did observe. There was card I was looking at that was priced very low, but it was noted in the description the defects on the card, hence the low price.
