Where do you guys sell cards these days?
It used to be that if I had some cards that I didn't want, I could come here and find a fair buyer. A lot of times I could make a few bucks above eBay and everybody was happy. It was a great marketplace. When TCC started going down in attendance, I tried to move some of my business to SCF. For a few month at SCF, I could find people that would buy for the same price as eBay or maybe a couple of bucks lower.
Well it seems that those times are over. No one buys baseball cards on TCC anymore and all of the people on SCF want to buy for resale, 30% below eBay. That's ridiculous.
So the obvious choice would be eBay, right? Nope. About a month ago I listed twenty or so items on there. Books, movies, cards, etc. Sale prices were decent, but 3 out of the 20 ended up demanding refunds for no real reason. However under the eBay buyer protection, there wasn't anything that I could do other than refund the people and try again. 85% success isn't acceptable when I am not at fault.
With my three main sites no longer available for sales, I don't know where to sell my cards. Does anyone know of other places that pay fair prices? I thought I might try craigslist, but I know that there are a TON of scammers on there.
I'm just wondering where you guys do your card business at.

Yeah, not sure where the best place to sell anymore is. It never hurts to list stuff on a card site with the notation that "prices are firm" so if someone wants it they know you will not haggle on the price. I bought a few items on the site Dwight mentioned, but they are in the mail. Got some decent prices, but not sure how the sellers market is as that was the first I had heard of the site. Ebay is to tough with all the fees.

Ebay is to tough with all the fees. That site went live a couple weeks ago, so it's not reaching large number of folks yet, so time will tell on it. Sportlots and COMC appear to be hard to make any money unless a power seller least from what I can see, but I've only tried Sportlots before and that was with lower end stuff. But overall it is more of a buyers market than a sellers market right now with a few exceptions in certain players or vintage stuff.
