4 Sharp Corners discount timing question

BaltimoreYankee

I have a few cards in my cart on their web site. I know they often put the cards on sale. The five I have in the cart are at 10% off.
Does anyone know if I should wait until later in the month? I recall them going to like 14% off at times.

They haven't been as predictable recently as they were in the past, but I usually wait for 14/15/20% before placing an order unless it's likely to be gone quickly.

ETA: 10% is pretty much the worst they offer, it's 14% on PSA10/BGS9.5/SGC98s this week and 10% everything else. They had a similar sale on 8s a couple weeks back, so I think 9s are due sometime soon.

OK, I think I figured out their current pattern. Next week should be 15% off everything if I'm correct.

Are you on eBay or their website?

On their web site. I know they run a little cheaper there.

Thanks - I will sit tight as I feel the items will still be there. Will check back next week.

Their main page hasn't been updated and I haven't received the email yet, but all the cards I checked appear to be 15% off.

I tracked their discounts for a number of months. I could not find a pattern. But yes, 10% off is as low as it gets.

LarkinCollector

It's a 3 month cycle, next should be 20% off $xx or less, last time it was $30.
Then 13% off 9s, then 12% off $1k(?) and up.

@LarkinCollector Here is a list of a year of sales they ran...

Thanks for the tip! I went in and purchased the items in my cart (less one that got sold). They were all 15% off.

12/18-3/19 & 3/26-6/25 were cycles and repeated 7/2-last week. There's some minor variations, but largely the same. I think the first part of your chart was part of their prior pattern that was more highly predictable.

Gotcha. I just got the 15% off everything email from them.

So far it's following, 20% off $50 or less this week.

D'oh! All the cards I bought last week were <$50. At least I got the 15% off
