I never see people getting full comps for cards on places like the B/S/T or Instagram, Facebook, etc.
Is it really a full comp if the seller is getting a minimum 20% less? I consider a comp the actual money received for said item to the seller as an expectation for myself if selling.

When selling on the B/S/T I can sell at a 10% discount over eBay comps and still make a minimum 10% more than the same seller by avoiding eBay or consignment fees. Auction format differs depending on auction house, but the seller does not receive the juice so they are still doing better on true sales price.

A discounted sales price still equates to a higher sales price in essence to a seller.
