Card Buying
Buying and Trading Pokémon Cards – Fast, Fair, and Simple
Want to sell your Pokémon cards or trade them for others? It's easy with us! We offer both buying and trading of Pokémon cards at fair prices based on the largest European card trading platform – Cardmarket.com.
How Does Pokémon Card Buying Work?
We determine the price of each card based on Cardmarket Low – the lowest available price for a card in that category (considering card condition and language). Based on this value, we offer you:
-
🔄 100% of Cardmarket Low in the form of Store Credit (credit for purchasing products from us)
-
💰 70–90% of Cardmarket Low for Direct Cash Buyout (depending on the quality of the collection and card rarity)
This means that if you only want to sell the cards, you get cash. If you choose to pick out something else from our store instead, you get the full value for your cards – the ideal solution for building a new deck or expanding your collection.
You can, of course, combine the options:
We offered you a buyout of 1000 CZK, but you noticed a card you like for 500 CZK? No problem! We will gladly trade the card for you, and we will pay you the remainder (but be aware – the buyout percentage still applies here, so you'll get, for example, 80% of the remaining 500 CZK, which is 400 CZK).
And it works the other way around – did you receive an offer of 1000 CZK but want to buy a card for 2000 CZK? Great, we will deduct the buyout amount from the total, and you only pay the difference.
What Cards Do We Buy?
-
✅ Modern Editions (Sun & Moon, Sword & Shield, Scarlet & Violet) are only purchased in Near Mint condition – meaning without damage.
-
🕰️ Older Cards are assessed individually – card condition is important and affects the buyout price.
-
❌ We usually do not buy cards in poor condition (Played, Damaged) – but you can always message us. Some cards retain value even if damaged.
-
❌ We also do not buy modern bulk (i.e., common cards found in every pack).
How to Offer Cards?
-
📍 In person at our store in Prague
-
📦 By shipping carrier – e.g., Zásilkovna/Packeta (after prior agreement)
-
📸 Via photos – ideal for preliminary pricing and consultation
Tip: It's best to send us photos of the cards beforehand – this prevents unnecessary travel if the cards are not suitable for purchase.
