How to sell cards with Game Play (Please Read):

• You can quickly and easily find the cards you wish to sell by using either our search bar or by browsing the product tree in the upper left of the screen. Once you have located a card you are interested in selling to us, just add it to your Sell Card. Please be aware that you must be in "Buylist Mode" to sell cards to us.

(Buylist mode is indicated by the light blue box on the upper left side)

• To edit your Cart or Checkout, simply click the "View Buylist/Submit" link in the Cart Summary section.

• Follow the system prompts to complete your sell order.

• Wait for the confirmation email to arrive. 
• After you submit your buylist, we have to double-check that we want to buy everything at the posted prices. Usually this takes less than one (1) business day, but please read this email carefully when it arrives because sometimes we will make changes. If you do not receive a confirmation email within two (2) business days, please contact us here.

• Please include a print out of your confirmation email with your package. Occasionally we receive buylists with no name on them and consequently we have a difficult time locating the seller.

• Make sure that your cards are sorted in the exact order that they appear on your confirmation email. 
• If your cards arrive out of order, please expect an additional delay of up to five (5) business days before completion of your buylist. Please note that in extreme cases such as buylists of several hundred cards that arrive in no order at all, we reserve the right to either return the entire order or else assess a penalty of up to 10% of the final value of your buylist. We will contact you before processing your buylist if we intend to return it or assess a penalty.

• Remember to package your cards securely. 
• We do not want your cards to be damaged during shipment and neither should you, so please take the time to make sure your cards are well packed and protected. Do not put cards in plastic zip lock bags or wrap them with rubber bands, as these will more than likely result in damage. 
• We highly recommend packaging your cards in plastic card cases or boxes designed specifically to hold trading cards. Bubble mailers work well too, but please remember to secure the cards so that they do not become loose during transit. 
• We also ask that you please not sleeve any cards listed at or below $5.00 in value. For cards above this value, sleeves are permitted but remember that we have to de-sleeve each card in order to grade it so removing your cards from sleeves will save us time and allow us to complete the transaction faster.

• All buylist submissions must be mailed directly to our processing facility. Please address all buylists to: 

Game Play
Attention: Buyer 
838 6th Street
Clarkston, WA 99403

• While we do not require it, we strongly recommend that you purchase tracking and insurance for your package. Occasionally packages are lost or damaged in transit and we are not responsible for mistakes made by mail carriers, so in order to protect yourself and your package we encourage you to spend the extra couple dollars on both tracking and insurance.  

• Although we understand that sometimes there are delays in sending cards to us, due to the constantly changing nature of card prices we ask that all buylists sent to us are received at our facility within seven (7) business days of their acceptance. After that time, any prices we have offered are subject to change. Your buylist will remain active in our system for three (3) weeks after which time accceptance is not guaranteed.

Some things to remember when selling with us:

 

• Game Play offers payment via PayPal, Check ($25 Minimum, 3-5 Day Processing Time), or Store Credit. Please note that if you select payment via PayPal, some fees will apply. For more information, please click here.
• When selling cards with us you will have two options listed, $ (Cash) or Credit (Card Credit). 
• Cash can be paid out with the above options.
• Card Credit pays a higher percentage but can only be used on other card singles. 
• If you are a local customer, you may come in-store and do a Store Credit option, which is approx. $+50% [Store Credit option is not listed on website].
• Buylist must be submitted online and must be shipped to the store, if you would like to arrange a local drop off contact us here.
• We do not accept signed or stamped cards. Any items sent to use with those markings will be graded as Moderately Played at best and will be priced accordingly.
• Unless specifically noted, we only buy English language cards. If a non-English copy is sent in place of English ones, we will either return the items to you at your expense or buy them at 50% of their English value.
• All prices shown are for Near Mint cards, unless otherise specified. Prices will be adjusted downward if the cards we receive are graded below that. If you would like to be notified of any and all grading adjustments before we finalize and pay you for your submission, please write "HOLD ORDER" in the Order Comments section during checkout.
• Game Play is a relatively small shop and we have a reserved budget for purchasing MTG singles, because of this we reserve the right to refuse any buylist orders for any reason. We will contact you ASAP if your order is beyond our capabilities. Thank you.

GRADING SCALE:

Card condition is a very important aspect when selling cards with us, if your cards have been played out of card sleeves there are good odds they may not qualify as Near Mint and will sell for a lower rate. We use five condition grades:

Near Mint (NM): A card in Near Mint-Mint condition will show little to no visible wear. From the back, a Near-Mint-Mint card is generally indistinguishable from other cards of the same condition. A card in this category still may have one or two minor flaws such as scratches or nicks but only upon very close inspection.

Lightly Played (LP): A card in Lightly Played condition will show visible, minor or mild wear even without close inspect. If the card has specks of white along its border, expect it to be graded LP or lower.

Moderately Played (MP): A card in Moderately Played condition will show easily visible, moderate wear. A Moderately Played card will still be legal for tournament played if sleeved.

Heavily Played (HP): A card in Heavily Played condition will show obvious visible, moderate to heavy wear. A card of this condition will be carried mostly to offer discounted options to players but are not recommended for tournament play.

Damaged (D): A card in Damaged condition will show easily visible and/or extreme wear. A Damaged card may not be legal for tournament play, even if sleeved. We rarily carry Damaged cards and only recommend them for casual play or creative projects.

NM:   Buy Price 100%
LP:    Buy Price 80%
MP:   Buy Price 70%
HP:   Buy Price 60%
D:    Buy Price 50% 

We Buy Bulk (Local Only):

Don't see your cards listed? Either we have exceeded the maximum copies we want to have as a store, or your card is a magic card worth $0.35 (approx.) or less and is therefore considered Bulk. Though many MTG cards have excellent value when it comes down to raw numbers the majority of cards, especially new common or uncommon singles, are bulk. Game Play is currently buying bulk for the following:

Bulk Magic Rares: $0.08 each ($0.10 store credit, local)
Bulk Magic Mythic Rares: $0.20 each ($0.25 store credit, local)
Bulk Magic FOIL Rares/Mythic Rares: $0.20 each ($0.25 store credit, local)
Bulk Magic FOIL Commons/Uncommons: $0.04 each ($0.05 store credit, local)
Bulk Magic Battle for Zendikar or Zendikar Full Art Basic Land: $0.05 each ($0.10 store credit, local) 

 

 Game Play reserves the right to change any of these policies at anytime.
