Getting Started

What cards do you buy?

We buy a wide range of trading cards including NBA, Soccer, Baseball, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh, Magic: The Gathering, and more. We accept both raw (ungraded) cards and professionally graded slabs from PSA, BGS, CGC, and SGC.

How do I sell my cards to Swap Itt?

Log in to your account, head to Sell Your Cards, upload clear photos of each card (front and back), add the condition and your asking price, and submit. We'll review and reply within 24–48 hours.

Do I need an account to sell?

Yes, you'll need to create a free account to submit cards for sale. This helps us keep track of your submissions and communicate offers to you.

Pricing & Valuation

What is my card worth?

We recommend using eBay's 'Sold Items' filter to see recent sale prices for your cards. This gives you a realistic idea of current market value. You can also check price guides like TCGPlayer or PSA's price guide for graded cards.

How much does Swap Itt pay for cards?

We pay up to 70% of recent market value if you take cash or bank transfer, or up to 80% if you take store credit. The exact offer depends on the card's demand, rarity and condition.

Will Swap Itt value my cards for free?

Yes. Submitting cards through our online system is free and we'll send you an offer. We don't provide written insurance valuations or formal appraisals.

Can I set my own price?

Yes! When submitting your cards, you can include an asking price. We'll review it and either accept, make a counter-offer, or decline based on current market conditions.

The Selling Process

How long does it take to get an offer?

Within 24–48 hours of submitting. Large or unusual collections that need extra research can take a little longer.

How long do I have to accept an offer?

Offers are valid for 24 hours. After that they expire and you'll need to resubmit if you still want to sell.

What happens after I accept an offer?

You'll get a pickup code and a chosen store. Bring the cards to that store within 3 days, we'll check the condition matches your submission, and we pay you on the spot.

Can I change my mind after accepting?

Once you accept, we expect you to bring the cards in. If you genuinely can't make it work, contact us as soon as possible so we can release the offer.

Dropping Off Cards

Do I need to book an appointment?

No appointment needed. Just come into the store you nominated during opening hours (Tue–Sat 11am–7pm, Sun 11am–5pm — Hurstville varies) with your cards and your pickup code.

What should I bring?

Your cards, properly protected (sleeves and toploaders for valuable ones), your pickup code (on your phone is fine), and valid photo ID. The cards have to match exactly what you submitted in your photos.

Can you come to me for large collections?

No, we don't do on-site visits. Even large collections need to be brought into one of our stores.

Payment

How do I get paid?

Cash or bank transfer, paid when you drop the cards off and we've confirmed the condition matches your submission. We don't use PayPal.

Is there a minimum value to sell?

Yes. Very low-value submissions may be auto-declined because the handling cost outweighs the offer. If your cards are worth more, submit them and we'll come back with an offer.

Do you pay more for store credit?

Yes. Store credit is paid at up to 80% of market value vs up to 70% for cash or bank transfer.

Card Condition

Do you buy damaged cards?

It depends on the card. Most modern cards need to be in good condition to resell. However, for older key cards (like vintage Charizards), we may still be interested even with some wear. Please include clear photos showing any damage.

How should I describe card condition?

Be honest about condition in your submission. Include photos of any scratches, whitening, creases, or other flaws. This helps us make accurate offers and avoids issues at drop-off.

Do graded cards get better offers?

Generally yes! Graded cards from reputable companies (PSA, BGS, CGC, SGC) are easier to price and sell, so we can often offer better percentages. Include the cert number in your submission.

Bulk & Sealed Product

Do you buy bulk cards?

No, we don't buy bulk. We focus on singles (raw or graded) and sealed product.

I have a large collection — what should I do?

Submit your most valuable cards individually through the online form. For the rest, your best bet is to bring them into a store so we can look through them in person.

Do you buy sealed products?

Yes. We buy sealed booster boxes, ETBs and other sealed product. Include clear photos showing the product is factory sealed and the condition of the packaging.
