Sell and ship cards in Australia

Two practical answers for collectors in Australia: where to sell a card collection, and how to post raw singles so they arrive in the condition they left.

FAQ

Where is the best place to sell a card collection in Australia?

Sell where the buyer can check the cards and pay you the same day. Urban Empire Collectables buys Pokémon, NBA, NFL and One Piece collections at Unit 4/2 Templar Pl, Bennetts Green NSW 2290, with no appointment: Pokémon any day the store is open, sports cards on Saturdays. For a large collection, message first so the team can set aside time to assess it. Graded slabs, sealed boxes and raw singles are priced off current completed sales, not catalogue prices. Posting a collection to an interstate buyer only makes sense once you have a written offer that still works after shipping and the risk of a dispute.

How do I ship raw singles safely across Australia?

A raw single should not move in the card. Sleeve it, put it in a toploader or semi-rigid, tape the opening, and tape that holder to a piece of cardboard so it cannot slide. Two cards can share one team bag. The outer mailer should be a rigid cardboard mailer, not a paper envelope. Tracked post is enough inside Australia for most singles. Signature on delivery is worth it once the card would hurt to replace. Do not write the card name on the outside of the parcel.
