and just how long does it take for corrections submitted actually take to be implemented ?
the last time i was specifically looking for a few items for sets i'm working on i found rouglhy 20 items and literally EVERY ONE was misidentified ...some had the correct brand name but only [???] as the insert name....most however were even worse , using the wrong brand name AND had the [???] tag.....
i posed a question on the facebook page and got a reply from someone who told me how to submit the correct info which would help get them properly labeled .....i was told it usually took a few days...furthermore , he said that many NEW cards are incorrectly labeled but that most older items were correct....the items in question were all from 1999 or earlier....
a little over two months later i went back to search again....still no updates on anything i'd submitted....once again i asked how long does it take....canned reply told me it takes a few days and that about 90% of items were now correct with most incorrect items being new items or cards from some special event (i forget what it was called) held earlier in the year....
fast forward to this past week....another 5-6 weeks (so now in the 4 month range) since my previous search....what do i see ? still ZERO updates to anything i'd submitted information for....i resubmitted it this week though honestly i'm not hopeful of any actual updates being made anytime soon.....
since i've been considering adding comc to my buying/selling venues i'd been trying to do a little homework before diving in there.... on another site , i'd exchanged messages with someone from comc (i dont recall his name/user id , but i could look it up i suppose) who was answering questions about the site....he said all the right things (he was the second person who told me corrections usually were applied within 1-3 days of being submitted) , but considering i've submitted mutiple corrections that have not ben updated in over months , i still just can't put my faith in the site or the reassuring words of the staff just yet.....
While it may not be 100% perfect, since I have starting using COMC I have really enjoyed it as an alternative option to eBay and forums. I'm sure it will improve with time, and I am very glad I began using it as I've gotten a lot of good cards for good prices.
Right on David K! Noticed the link in your signature to COMC isn't working....
Thanks!

My buying has almost screeched to a halt. Seems that either things are being snapped up before I see them or they sellers just want too much. Good to hear they are doing well as this could (or maybe already has) make Tim a rich man.
Update: I switched companies so I no longer work for the service team that handles your elevator, so you should have someone tell the vendor to get off the stick and do some work!!
