All bulk figures are starting estimates, subject to inspection. Final offers depend on condition, age, demand, duplicates, set, language and overall lot composition.

The Vault District purchases collections for resale. Offers reflect processing time, marketplace fees, shipping costs, condition, demand and resale risk.

Bulk estimator

See a starting range.

Regular bulk requires a minimum of 1000 cards. Smaller lots with higher-rarity, graded, vintage or individually valuable cards are welcome for review.

Enter the highest count of any one card. A per-card duplicate limit applies only when shown for the selected category.

Enter a category and quantity.

Starting estimate only, not a guaranteed payout. Final payment follows physical inspection, verified count and eligibility.

Individual cards

Verified sales inform every offer.

Cash purchase rates for resale are based on verified current market value, not asking price. Published percentages assume Near Mint condition and are maximum rates, not guaranteed payouts.

Highly desirable, fast-selling cards may qualify for a higher custom offer. Large collections, excessive duplicates, slow-selling cards and high-population, low-demand slabs may receive lower offers.

Condition and market review

Comparable sales, not optimistic listings.

  • Lightly Played: reduce a calculated offer approximately 15%–25%. Moderately Played: reduce approximately 35%–50%.
  • Heavily Played or Damaged cards are selective purchases only at a very low rate. Damaged bulk is generally not wanted; select lots may receive $0–$1 per 1,000 after review, never an automated quote.
  • TCGs use TCGplayer Market Price combined with verified recent sold listings. Sports uses verified recent marketplace sales.
  • Graded reviews match exact card, grade, grading company and variation. We prefer comparable sales from the previous 30–90 days and remove unusually high or low outliers.
  • Active listings, unsold asking prices and CollX estimates are not a sole basis for an offer. Without reliable comparables, we may make a conservative custom offer or decline.
  • Dents, creases, moisture damage, peeling, writing, major scratches, trimming or alterations may be declined.

The Vault District purchases cards for resale through our website/Shopify, Whatnot, and direct/local sales. Our offers are based on verified market sales and the costs and risks involved in inspecting, processing, listing, storing and reselling each card. Final offers are made after inspection.

Eligibility requirements

How to prepare a collection.

  • Standard minimum: 1000 regular bulk cards. Smaller lots are accepted when they include higher-rarity, graded, vintage or individually valuable cards.
  • Cards must be authentic, preferably English-language, and reasonably organized by game and card type.
  • Separate categories before submission where possible. Excessive duplicates may reduce an offer.
  • Counterfeit, reproduced and unofficial cards are not accepted. We may decline altered cards, questionable autographs, ownership concerns, severe damage and inventory difficult to authenticate or resell.
  • Do not ship or drop off until explicitly approved. An inquiry does not constitute approval.

Questions, answered

Before you send anything.

Are these guaranteed payouts?

No. All bulk figures are starting estimates, and individual-card percentages are maximum rates. Final offers follow inspection and verification.

What market sources do you use?

We use recent verified sales, including TCGplayer Market Price with recent eBay sold listings for TCGs and verified marketplace sales for sports; active listings are not used as market value.

Can I submit fewer than 1,000 cards?

Regular bulk requires 1,000 cards. Smaller lots with higher-rarity, graded, vintage or individually valuable cards may be submitted for review.

Do you buy damaged cards?

Damaged bulk is generally not wanted and select damaged collections require review. Valuable singles with condition issues are individually reviewed.
