How will this work?
For you it will be three easy steps!
You'll use the Contact Form to apply to be a Consignor. The only requirements are that you are 18 years of age, live in the US or its territories, and are the owner of the items you wish to sell.
I'll send you my Terms of Service, we review the TOS (over email, chat, or voice call) and discuss any questions that you have, and then hopefully you'll sign up!
I'll mail you a prepaid shipping box, you'll fill the box with your items and send it back to me.
On my end, I will
Sort and scan your items
Research the current market value of your items
Create a live, shared document of our target sales prices
Take quality photos of your items
List the items on the sales platform I believe they'll do best on
Handle all customer service Q&As
Perform negotiations as needed
Collect payments
Provide speedy shipping to buyers
Send you a monthly sales statement and payment!
Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions,
even if you're not ready to pre-register just yet!

FAQs
Do I have to pay to sign up?
Nope! For the most part, the only time you'll pay me anything is paying for shipping fees if you want a card worth over a certain value returned immediately instead of at the end of our agreement term. There may be exceptions if a legal dispute arises, which are outlined in my terms of service.
Do I have to know exactly how many cards I want to sell?
Guesses are great! I really just need to know what size box to send and if you'll need more than one. Even really rough guesses like "two shoeboxes full" or "a full 3-inch binder" work. Worst case scenario you can put "TBD" in the contact form and we'll use pictures to figure it out later.
What happens if you find a really valuable card in my items?
I have three standard options in my Service Agreement for if a card is likely to be worth at or above $1,000 that you will be able to choose from:
Return the card to you immediately, with you responsible for all fees related to shipping
Return the card at the end of the agreement term, with me responsible for all fees related to shipping
Make no changes and continue to sell as planned
I am very open to discussion of further options but I make no promises to agree to suggested alternatives.
What if my cards aren't worth much?
In some cases, I'll offer to buy low value cards directly. In others, I'll create bundle packs. Worst case, we don't get any takers and you aren't any worse for wear.
How long do you keep my cards? Do I get them back if they don't sell?
My term of agreement is 6 months, with the option to renew. Once the term is complete and not agreed to be renewed, I will send back any cards that don't sell at no cost to you!
