Hey all, I have a bunch of pokemon cards I'd like to sell. I did some google searching on places to sell them around my area, and suffice to say there aren't any. I then did searches about selling cards online and what ive come up with so far is basically put them on ebay. I just wanted to see though, does anyone know of a place online besides ebay where i might have luck selling them? I'm just looking into any other possible option before I make a decision

My girlfriend tried to sell her binders of pokemon cards a couple years ago on ebay and the person tried to scam her. Good luck in your quest, but I felt it was my duty to tell a fellow TL.net brother to be wary of scam artists and crooks!

Also, my girlfriend's mom used to sell her duplicates on ebay and sold a pikachu card for a dollar. Turns out, the person who bought it was 5 years old and sent her a bunch of pennies in an envelope through the mail and when it got to their house, it was nearly destroyed, and taped up by the postal service, and several pennies were missing. Of course, she didn't send him the card...and he forever labeled her a "ripper-offer". She still has trouble getting jobs.

Everyone kept their pokemon cards hoping to one day sell them for easy money.

That day has come, and everyone still has their pokemon cards so nobody is buying. Sorry.



edit: Or at least not at the prices you were hoping for as a kid. You can obviously sell anything for a low enough price.

I read this as LIQUIDating them. And somehow got excited at the idea of pokemon cards redrawn in paint with attempted holofoil in a blog. Don't ask me why. I'm tired.

So, she received the money and didn't send the card? If So then shes a liar, a cheat, an asshole. Why are you saying as if she is the one who was wronged?

Beanie Babies anyone?
It can be yours for only $380,000!!
Do you have any rare/ultra cards, or are they uncommon (at the most rare)? Make sure you know what you have, and a retail price for any card you hope to sell.
But ebay seems to be the best spot. You could throw an advert on craigslist or backpage to see if anyone is interested.
Best of luck in selling your childhood memories.

If you don't really need the money, perhaps you have a younger cousin who would love them. I gave all of my cards to my little cousin, and he really appreciated them. I did hold onto #s 1-9 though

I just tried to sell my old holo-foil pokemon cards but not even one was selled even I just asked for 1 Euro plus shipping costs. Furthermore there were really rare cards like Shinning Garados and so on. So proabably you should try to sell them in a school :-), find a kid and try to steal his pocket money or just throw them away.

I have a ton of old Yugioh cards (and by ton, I mean a metric fuckton). In theory (as in, according to the official Yugioh card price book or w/e) , my collection is worth probably around seven or eight grand (I have A LOT of first edition "rares" and various limited edition things). There's a couple decks I'd like to keep, but I wouldn't mind finding somewhere to unload the vast majority of them.

Still, if anyone is interested in buying a complete first edition Legend of Blue Eyes booster set... that would be pretty awesome. I'm kidding, I actually want to keep it. Gaia the Dragon Champ was actually from my first booster pack ever <3

Keep them. They are pretty much impossible to sell, and the memories are priceless. Well, almost.

I was an addict when it came to buying pokemon cards. I had to buy several packs every time I went to the mall back in middle school.

I actually traded a holographic card for a 200 page colored pokemon book with all the original 150 pokemon in it. Good trade imo because the cards aren't worth crap nowadays imo. The book though was good firewood.

Also instead of selling my cards... I either A.) Threw them in the trash. B.) gave em to the next door neighbor C.) Some kid on my bus stole some of my holographic cards out of my binder when I wasn't looking. GG

hello every1. im a small time pokemon card collector...im a real buyer....if any1 selling, can message me. im sure we can agreed on some kind of transaction method tat is both safe for the seller and the buyer...

this are the facts:
1) The seller got to be able to send it to malaysia(there is where i am),
2) posting method depend on quantity, cheaper the better i would think.
3) Im looking for bargain deals, means cheap, ppl who just want to get rid of their collection, or exchange for some cash...
4) i will most likely buy individual...unless buying the Whole thing is cheaper.
5) Card should be Near Mint Condition (taking several photo of different cards would be requested)
5) i know many websites selling both LOTs + Individual cards, but are expensive. they buy in bulk, 1/5 price, and resell it for 5times as much. i even bought 350 cards from a local guy, at 0.20RM/card. i was surprise when the card arrive was NearMint Condition, wasn't played. u can check currency exchange in google, just type USD MYR(My Currency) currency exchange.

Just Remember, im a small time private collector, i have a budget...so please do cheap.
