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 Within a few days, my account stated that 10% had been processed and my fees were withdrawn from my account.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.

QUOTE(beanschat @ Apr 12 2012, 04:57 PM) alright...I admit it...today's big move was going over to NYMETSJETS store and picking up a couple of Donruss Classics I could use...also turned down a $2.20 offer on a Votto RC...I turned it down..my $3 listing price is the lowest on the site by .99 so I think I'll hold out on that for a bit. Haha, I didn't even realize you bought some off of me. I bought quite a few of those in one of those 50% off sales. I still have that 1 of mine held out of what I've been shipping in for you (I think it's a Craig Stelz maybe). Maybe I'll just include it and sell it to you for a penny and you can ship it to yourself when you build up enough cards. It would save me the shipping of 1 card to you. An update from my side. I ran a two day advertisement (paid $4) starting last night for 20% off and taking offers on my cards and sold a decent amount last night and this morning (probably 30 or so cards total). I did buy a nice Stan Musial GU/Auto #'d /5 yesterday for $35 and then ended up selling it for $40 (had it at $50, then had to give it up for the 20% off). I was actually dissapointed it sold and probably should have cranked the price up a bit more as that was one I wouldn't have minded shipping home eventually. Oh well, at least I made $5 on it, I'll remember that next time I buy a card I might want to keep. Also, I opened my account up to take offers from Amazon (which essentially just lists all your cards on COMC on Amazon.com). You have to agree to take a 20% discount on your price to pay the amazon fees but other than that, it just flips a switch and your cards are there by the next day. So if your looking for the Alex Rodriguez 1999 Stadium Club Triumvirate Illuminator that you've always wanted, and search for it on Amazon, bam, you'll see my card. Pretty cool, however I don't think I've had a single sale from Amazon today. I guess not that many collectors go to Amazon to buy cards right now.
