4 Sharp Corners for consignment
Has anyone consigned with 4 Sharp Corners for Ebay auctions recently? If so, how was your experience? Did they handle everything professionally? Did they overall get the results you expected? Did they pay in a timely manner? Any other tips or info you suggest?

It's been about a year since I consigned with them but it was a great experience. Prices were strong, communication was great and payment was made exactly when and as promised.

Top notch, paid approximately 14 days after auctions end
As for results, they get the going rate plus depending on what it is.1 -
Me too - same as above. Also having great luck with Greg Morris - both raw and graded.

Comc seems be another option. He has his own online store for people to purchase directly without the ebay IRS BS. I've bought some stuff directly through his online store.

4SC is the new PWCC - in the most complimentary way.

Thank you everyone for your input. I'm actually pretty surprised that nobody has talked about any negative experiences. That's a great sign.

Their rates seem really good, like the same or better than selling yourself. I would certainly be reaching out to them if I was in that market.

That's a great sign.Once they start an auction, they can’t amend any part of the title or description. They can only end the auction and relist it. They didn’t put the correct title on one of my actions and I think it didn’t get the right views and less money. On another auction, they listed a few of my singles in one auction without my permission and it cost me $$$.

So on a card over 1k we pay only 5% in fees. Selling direct I believe I’m paying over 10% still. Am I interpreting that correctly, it’s a large savings to use 4SC in that range?

I don't know if there is a way to determine if a graded card they are selling was submitted by them or not but you likely will get better grades with them.
For example...I have 6 graded copies of a card. 4 are PSA 9 and 2 are BGS 9. The card has an orange border on the back which makes edge and corner condition easy to identify.
All 6 of mine look better than the one they are auctioning which also has the label of PSA 9 but not the quality. If you look this card over then you will notice a surface issue near his chin of missing color, possibly an edge issue along the right side on the front just above the lower right corner and if you can't tell the card is pretty off centered then look at the back side. It does appear to have nearly 4 sharp corners but not 4 crisp edges. 1 edge looks worse than the others.
Is this a 9 by most of our standards, I would say not. Is this a 9 because of who submitted it...possibly.
So...we can all play the game and sell our stuff through the high rollers. If you can't beat em, join em!

I assume they want to pull in the views and attention a card in that range provides.

Wow 5% vs 12-13%. Seems like a no brainer. Please tell me what I may be missing. Thanks.

It's a legit 5%. I used them for some high end slabs and I was happy with the results.
However, since they do volume your card may be auctioned with 4 or 5 other copies of the same card, which may affect your final bids depending on where your card is on the list.

Respectfully I don't understand, you are comparing your cards to the quality of certain cards listed. That is a different discussion then would you use them consignment.

As a buyer, I had been able to pick up cards at good prices with those auctions I've noticed.

My message was that you may be getting a bump in your grade if you use them for consignment based on observations dozens of people here have commented on. "If you can't beat em, Join em!" was my indirect way of saying I support the idea.

I've consigned with them and have gotten great sale prices on my items. On the flipside, I've purchased from them and have gotten some really good prices. Just the way it goes with auctions.

I may give them a shot. I have a bunch of mid-grade post war vintage I want to sell. Been looking at 4SC, Greg Morris Graded, or PWCC. The last one only because their seller rates are better than the other places, but they might not fetch the prices.

I have consigned with them recently. Communication was great and payment was fast. they did list an exact copy of my card ending just seconds off from mine. i think it hurt the final prices of both. I think auctions are too stressful for me. I would rather control prices and list bin.

I want the most eyeballs…and Heritage Auctions with its international offices would seem to have the most eyes. I recently consigned with them…and was very happy with the results. Five (5) out of twenty-three (23) cards set records for the given grade…and my auction total exceeded their estimates for my total consignment by $10k-$15k!

Would you send mid-grade vintage to HA/REA, or one of the lesser consignment places like 4SC and PWCC?

The company with the lowest percentage take might be your best option for mid-grade vintage. I was able to negotiate 1.05 x hammer price on my recent consignment w/Heritage Auctions.

Heritage has the eyeballs and bigger wallets.... don't think that those folks care for mid-grade unless pre-war Ruth, etc...

For mid-grade I would say PC Sports, DC, or 4SC. A lot of people will vouch for Probstein, My lots with him did OK but there were multiple mistakes on the listing that cost me $$ at the end.

still doesn't make sense , 4sharp does not submit cards for grading for indiviudals. they are not a group submitter. they only auction your already graded cards
