Well, when they opened up Half.com to trading cards, I put 3 sets up there just to see what would happen (short answer - nothing).

Until today! I sold my first trading card set on half.com today... and for more than I've been getting for it on Ebay lately.. 8)

Turned around and got it shipped out same day too, since the order came in the morning, I was able to pack and ship during lunch. 8)

Congratulations..... and continued successes to you.

I listed a few Pokemon cards on Half.com recently but have yet to have any luck selling them. I do sell books there and do VERY well...

Health & Happiness

The cards I sold were Pokemon cards too.. 8) I put some of my TOPPS sets up there since I have so many in stock right now, just to see if anyone would bite.. 8)

I'm already preparing my Mister Lister files for the next free listing day - so all I have to do is upload and commit.. 8)

I hadn't noticed that half had added pokemon cards so your postings induced me to go look at it. I am amazed at what a mess it is.
It might make sense to have a pokemon category, but instead they are all mixed in a big "Other".
The item titles are wild.
The "Product Information" descriptions often do not match the titles, and often do provide enough information to specify a specific item.
The specific items offered descriptions often do not match the titles nor descriptions, prices all over the place, mostly high.
What's what in pokemon trading cards is more than simple enough for any typical preteen child to understand, but evidently much too complicated for the half.com staff.
http://www.halfwit.com indeed.

I would DEFINITELY like to see more breakdown on the "Other Trading Card" cateogry... It must have worked since I got one sale though - I'll probably put some more up after I return from my vacation .
