Trade-in at 80%

Trading is at the heart of the hobby, and we love helping collectors upgrade their collections. We offer 80% of current market value for trades. Every trade is valued using PulseTCG, so you can see exactly how we arrive at every price. It's completely transparent, fair, and there's never any obligation to go ahead.

Why trade instead of selling for cash?

  • You get 80% of the value as in-store credit, more than our cash offer.
  • Spend on anything we stock: sealed, singles, graded, accessories, merch.
  • No waiting for online sales or fees, so you get instant value to use the same day.
  • Supports the local shop and the community. We'd rather you trade and stay in the loop.

Bring your cards into the shop and we'll value them and sort your trade-in. No appointment needed, just pop in.

Trade-in FAQ

What's the trade-in value?
We offer 80% of our agreed value as in-store credit. So if we value your cards at £100, you get £80 to spend on anything in the shop.
Can I mix trade and cash?
Yes. You can take part as cash and part as trade-in if you like, and we'll work it out when you're in store.
Do I have to spend the credit straight away?
We'll confirm the exact policy when you visit. Typically trade-in credit is used in store, and we can explain any time limits or conditions when you're there.
What can I trade in?
Same as what we buy: singles, sealed product, graded cards, and full collections. Bring it in and we'll take a look.
