I know we all look for alternative options on selling our cards, so I thought I would share my experience with Checkoutmycards.com. I have bought there on several occasions and have been happy with the experience. But recently I decided to ship some cards to them that don't get alot of attention trading and try them out.

I will share my experience with you as it goes..

I shipped 165 cards to them on 3/1 that were received on 3/4.

I selected the 4 week service (cards are uploaded within that amount of time) with a charge of $36. Postage was $9. Within a few days, my account stated that 10% had been processed and my fees were withdrawn from my account. Since that time, no other cards have been uploaded. I can't actually process them until the whole batch is completed.

I have also purchased some cards to "flip" (yeah, our favorite word around here). Most were purchsed for .25 and relisted for somewhere between .50 and .75. Not gonna get rich, but gives me something to do while I wait for the batch to be completed. They are mostly Classics, so I don't have to do much research on them...and some of them I can actually use for my collection, so if they don't sell, I will be happy to receive them.

I will update periodically and give feedback on when my batchgets completed...and of course sale results. They boast some pretty impressive numbers of cards and transactions...we will see how it pans out. I did also see that they have classified ads as well where people essentially list their entire inventory for one price....interesting.

Tonight I checked out the classifieds (also known as Port sales). There are often people selling their entire stock for one price..or advertising reduced prices or the fact that they set their rules to automatically accept all offers at a certain percentage.

I found one who had said they had reduced alot of their prices to 80% off and to accept 50% offers...so that $2 I collected this morning was used to purchase a 1958 Bob Cerv (with no special notes about condition) for $1.... a SI for Kids Magic Johnson and a buck for a 1958 Cerv...sounds like a deal to me!!

I hit that sale up too. Got about 100 cards. Last week he had them at 70% and 50% offers and got some already from him. He has some good priced stuff if you can search through it.

An update from my end. My cards hit Saturday. I think someone was buying as I was pricing, as cards started dissapearing pretty quick. When I noticed this, I started pricing higher. I jumped right in blindly and sent 1,500 cards in my first batch and have been getting a decent amount of sales/offers a day. Some things are selling for higher than I thought, and some things I'll probably have to lower quite a bit before I get any bites. Like I mentioned above, I chose to reinvest some of my profits in the sale above, and continue to buy when I see cards at a good deal. I've even bought some Jets cards for my PC that I have sitting aside untill I get enough together to make it worth a shipment home.

Also, prior to my cards hitting, I cleared out what I accumulated from buying (and selling) through a port sale (selling everything I had at the time) for $213. So in the month that I was waiting for my cards to load, I had turned my $100 I left in my account into $213. Not too shabby. I've got another lot ready to ship and so far this sight has been a ton of fun.

Beanchat, don't mean to hijack your thread but figured I'd give my take too. From your comment above, I do think we get 90 days (I know it was more than 30) for any cards we originally sent in to avoid the $.01 month storage fee, so hopefully that is the case.
