We Buy Cards: Gamers XP Trade-In Policy

Below is a quick guide to our in-store TCG Singles Trade-In Policy - feel free to contact us if you have any questions not answered here!

How do I sell you my cards?

Bring your cards to the store! We will have a staff member price the cards out as soon as possible. Pricing cards can take a long time to do correctly, and our staff makes sure that you get the most money for your cards. If there are too many cards to price immediately, staff will take your name and phone number and call and offer a price - you can accept it or reject it as you choose. They are your cards until you either accept payment or pick up the cards. In the event that you have a large collection (equivalent of one full binder or more) that needs pricing, there will be a $25 Collection Evaluation Fee due at the time of drop-off. This fee will be returned to you in the event that we do pick up your collection.

We are working on a process for mail-in collections, but aren't quite ready to do so just yet.

How much can I expect to get for my cards?

We price all cards that we buy or sell by industry standards. All cards will be graded for condition using the TCG Magic Card Grading Scale. Cards that are damaged or smell strongly will have their prices lowered based on the condition of the card and/or may not be accepted at all. We are unable to offer an estimate for your cards until they have been evaluated in-store.

Bulk Card Pricing

We define bulk as any card valued at less than $4.00. Gamers XP pays the following rates for bulk cards:

• Bulk rares: $.10 each

• Bulk commons/uncommons: $3.00 per thousand

Non-Bulk Cards

Any card valued higher than $4.00 are considered non-bulk cards. All cards will be graded for condition using the TCG Magic Card Grading Scale and priced based on that. We very rarely buy cards as "Near Mint".

There are occasional exceptions to this policy - for example a brand new set during the first 2 weeks of release. Prices can change drastically during this period, and as such we do not pick up any newly-released cards until 2 weeks after the set releases (or 2 weeks after Prerelease dates for all Magic sets with a Prerelease).

"I just want to know how much you'll give me for my Super Mega Ultra Shiny Special Graded 15 card - can you tell me?"

We will not offer price quotes over the phone. Prices will range based on condition and version of cards and we cannot give accurate pricing without seeing the cards in person.

How will you get paid?

We can pay you your total in either cash/check, Paypal, Cash App, Venmo, or store credit. Buy orders over $25 cash value will be given a check or electronic payment. We require a state-issued physical ID or driver's license for all non-store credit payments, no matter the size of the transaction. We do not accept printouts or photographs of your state-issued identification - you must either bring your physical ID or have LA Wallet. We offer a higher rate for trade credit than for cash!

Important Note about Counterfeits

Selling counterfeit cards to stores is retail fraud. We will not return counterfeit cards to individuals; all counterfeits will be destroyed. We will pursue legal remedies in the event that a counterfeit card slips past an XP employee but is identified later. We also require a state-issued photo ID on file for all cash trades.
