Default Did COMC just kill their business model?

So I logged onto COMC for the first time in a while ... and I see that they have added a huge amount of cards .... which sounds good ... BUT then I learn they're all from Dean's Cards.

So, basically now I can't use COMC without tripping over the same (overpriced) inventory that is clogging up Ebay.

Wasn't there someone who was working for COMC that posted a while ago that said it was his job to work with sellers to encourage them to lower prices (because stuff wasn't moving on COMC)?

So your plan to get more sales is ... bring in an even more expensive supplier, flood your site with these expensive cards, thereby reducing the pressure on people to lower their prices (because the old prices now look cheap)... at the same time when you were complaining you didn't have enough sales?

The best thing COMC has going for it ... good front and back scans. The next best thing it has going for it though ... inventory that is not on Ebay. I think they just destroyed half of their big advantage.

Will be interesting to see if they survive.
