Can someone please explain comc?

I agree with John's post, I signed up and sent in around 500 cards a couple months ago and have had good success with moving off-grade vintage stars and semi-stars in the $10-$20 range. In my opinion if you price those type of items reasonably you can move them. I would not recommend commons though.

What about off grade Mantles, Koufax Paige in the 100-200 range?

I can't stand ebay anymore and would rather sell these on COMC, however when I look, the sales history of these cards is small. Do people not buy these cards there?

Part of the issue is, on those higher dollar cards, the sellers price their cards into museum pieces. For whatever reason, they over-value their cards once they hit COMC. Not sure if it's due to a lack of market competition on COMC, or what. If you priced your Mantles/Koufax/Paige at fair market prices, or even cheaper than that, I bet they would sell.

COMC does not have a maximum shipping charge. Until they do, I won't deal with them.

What about sales history? I see where it lets you check the prices of sold, but is there a way to see the sales volume and the date it sold?

To get sales volume and sales history, you need to have History points. I think every account starts with 1,000, but you can get more if you do their "video game" like Challenges. To use a history point, you click on the bar graph/histogram picture below the card. It will show you the monthly sales history, and the highest prices paid for the card on site per grade. If you mouseover the prices, they'll show which month the highest price was paid. One point of consideration: a card can be sold hundreds of times between sellers/flippers on COMC shown in the histogram, so you want to look at the number of times the card has sold down in the pricing information section. Those are the times the card was actually delivered to a buyer.
