COMC- Sniping?

I have a comc account and over the past few years I've listed 5K cards or so. What I find interesting is if I list a hard to find insert or a rare Jordan type insert I get an offer or sale on it within seconds. Now to the best of my ability I do not see a way comc will notify me if any new 1993 Finest Refracors are listed so are there people on here 24/7 searching those specific cards / sets or do they have some type of internal snipe feature where they know they've scanned my card and if I list it for a price acceptable It gets purchased. I'm not trying to start a conspiracy theory here but when I price a card at 1:30am and get an offer then a straight purchase 1 minute later it makes me assume there must be some type of notification when a card hits the market for sale. Just curious if anyone has any knowledge of something like this.

    Would be nice if there was one.

    COMC definitely needs some way to notify you when items you are searching for appear.

    This is one of the cornerstones of Ebay these days after all. Can't be that complicated.

    from what you described I'd agree they mus they utilizing some sort of program.

    On each search results page is an RSS button for subscribing to the results of that search. I suspect some people use that with a RSS reader with a very fast refresh to catch deals quickly.

    I hadn't noticed that. I will check it out. I'm wondering if they have that for sellers as I got an offer on a card 1 minute after I priced it from the exact same guy that bought one of my tougher inserts the day before after I priced it 2 minutes earlier. I guess it's a cool way to snipe but if it's not available to everyone I wonder how some seem to be doing it.

    Try doubling the prices and the problem will likely go away.

    I was thinking the same thing. Are you listing these cards high enough? If the market is that hot, then the market price increases...
