How to Sell Guide

Make and Submit Your List

Search using the search bar or browse by selecting categories. When creating your buylist, make sure to select your condition.  Once you are done composing your list, click submit that is located at the top right of the page.  Can’t find the card(s) you are trying to sell on our buylist?  Contact Us with your list, including Quanity, Set Name, Condition, and Edition, and we will handle it personally.

 

 


Choose Your Payout Option

Once you submit your buy list.  Choose how you would like to be paid: PayPal, Check, or Store Credit.  We offer a 15% store credit bonus over cash! 

 

 

Wait for Approval Email
All buylist submissions are subject to review. We review and approve or deny all buylist submissions based on current stock quantities. If you receive an approval email, send in your card(s) to the address at the bottom of your approval email along with a copy of the approval email.  It will act as an invoice so we can confirm who is the owner of the card(s).  We HIGHLY RECOMMEND utilizing a shipping method that includes at least tracking.  We are not responsible if your card(s) is lost in transit.  If you do not include a copy of your approval email to confirm the owner of the card(s) in question, we are not responsible if someone else is accredited as the owner of the card(s) in question.

 

 

Get Paid!

Once we receive your buylist order, you will receive an email notification that we have received your buylist order.  It will be followed by another email notifying when we start the grading process to inspect whether the card(s) match the condition you submitted.  If it matches the order, the process will be fairly quick and you’ll be paid out shortly after.  If there are any errors found in your order (i.e. wrong items, wrong conditions, missing, damaged) we will automatically deduct the difference in price from your order total. You will not be contacted regarding the new order total. We will only contact you for approval if the difference in price is 12% or more or if the difference is $100.00 or more. If you wish to have your damaged items returned you must submit a request within 30 days of the date your order completes processing. You will be required to pay for the cost of return shipping.

 

 

Policies

    • Buylist price is meant specifically for Near Mint Condition cards.  If your card(s) you’re submitting is not Near Mint, do not expect to get the listed price.  It is in your best interest to leave a comment on your submission if any of the listed card(s) is not Near Mint so we can tell you before approving your buylist of how much we are paying.

    • We HIGHLY RECOMMEND utilizing a shipping method that includes at least tracking.  We are not responsible if your card(s) is lost in transit.  If your package arrives with obvious damage we will refuse delivery and you will be responsible for contacting the shipping company to file a claim.

    • If you do not include a copy of your approved email to confirm the owner of the card(s) in question, we are not responsible if someone else is accredited as the owner of the card(s) in question due to being unable to identify the true owner.

    • Buy List prices and quantities in demand are subject to change at any time, for any reason.

    • Sending us an item constitutes an offer to sell the item “as is.”

    • Illustrious Cards and Games reserves the right to refuse any offer made to us.

    • Illustrious Cards and Games reserves the right to limit the number of items submitted as well as to refuse a sale at any time, for any reason.

    • The shipping and handling cost of sending us your order is your responsibility. If your order arrives with postage due we will automatically deduct that amount from your order total. If the order total cannot cover the cost, your package will be refused.

    • Any package that arrives with customs due (this includes customs taxes, duties, or fees) will be automatically refused.

    • The payment amount is not finalized until after we receive your package and verify its contents.

Deductions

    • If errors are found in your order that results in a price difference of 12% or more or $100.00 or more, we will send you an updated offer via email. You will have three (3) business days to respond to our counter-offer. If we do not receive a response within the three (3) day period, we will assume you have accepted the offer and process your payment with the appropriate deductions applied.

    • If you wish to have any of the items returned, you must request this at the time you accept the deduction. Illustrious Cards and Games will return any requested items to you but it will be at your expense. The cost of return shipping will depend on the item type and quantity being returned.

Packing and Shipping

Failure to do so may result in an update to the order total based on current purchase prices or in your order being returned. We strongly suggest that you choose a shipping method that includes both delivery confirmation as well as insurance. Please be sure to pack your items securely. Illustrious Cards and Games is not responsible for packages not received. Please note that if your package appears damaged it will be immediately refused upon delivery and returned to you.

  • Failure to adhere to this policy may result in your orders being returned. We are not responsible for any order that is lost due to a violation of this policy.

  • We ask that you do not send products for a single order in multiple packages. Your order can not be processed until all packages arrive at our facility and just because it was shipped at the same time does not mean it will arrive altogether.  If you must separate the order into different packages, please inform us at icgbuylist@gmail.com and to clearly label outside of each package.  For example: Package 1 of 5.
