Hi, Its obvious that all these shops will buy cards off you although I'm curious which one offers the best prices in general and do any of them have downsides (I was hoping to get money and not store credit)any suggestions?

it's generally not advisable to sell to stores. most will give you 30% of a cards value, and that's probably being generous. depending on the value of the card, it may not even be worth it to trade in. many stores buy corner case rares($1 or less rare cards) for 5-10 cents a piece in bulk. If you are wanting value for your cards, the best way is to trade them, or try selling them to people on here or similar sites, who will give you slightly more value than a store will.

that being said, what are you trying to sell? Any valuable cards in particular?

Pucatrade is a great website to exchange your excess cards for cards you want at a great rate. You can send your cards to someone for a fair amount of points (100 points = 1 dollar), and then you can use those points to receive cards of that value. It's pretty close to shop values.

I was pretty hesitant at first, but you can just give it a try, get 5-7 dollards worth of points by signing up and filling out info and getting cards shipped to you, without having to pay or send any card yourself.

@Souljacker - That was awesome, thanks you. I read your post, signed up, and now have 4 Swamp Full Art, on the way. Haha. I added them to my wants list and in less than 10 minutes literally all my points were gone and full art swamps on the way. Haha

This reddit post has a ton of good information about how buylisting works with many of the top sites.

I was just wondering which offered the best prices on average (Thanks RASTA_VIKIN629)....A price comparison chart would be way to much effort to be worth it but would still be nice to see :)

From my personal experience CardKingdom offers the best trade in value for cards, for store credit that is. Their prices to purchase are slightly higher but 99% of the time their trade in value offsets it compared to other places where you lose 50% or more value.
