โฑ 2 minutesโ 5 questions๐ฏ 4 possible results
Question 1 of 5
How quickly do you need the money from these cards?
โกImmediately. I want cash in hand today or tomorrow.
Speed matters more than maximum return
๐
Within a few weeks is fine
I can wait for the right buyer at the right price
๐๏ธNo rush. Months or longer is fine.
I am willing to wait for peak value
๐คI don't actually need cash, I want cards in return
Trade is better than selling
Question 2 of 5
How many cards are you trying to sell?
๐1 to 5 high-value cards worth AU$30 or more each
Premium singles with a clear buyer market
๐ฆA bulk lot of 20 to 200+ cards with mixed values
Too many to list individually
๐A handful of mid-range cards worth AU$10 to AU$30 each
Moderate value, might be worth listing
โป๏ธCards I want to swap 1-for-1 with someone I know
Trading directly cuts out all fees
Question 3 of 5
How do you feel about paying seller fees?
๐ฐFine with fees if the final price is well above buylist
eBay AU takes roughly 13 to 15%. Worth it for premium cards.
๐ซWant zero fees and immediate payment
A lower guaranteed price beats a higher uncertain one
๐งฎI need to calculate whether fees still leave me ahead
The maths has to work
โ
Prefer no money to change hands at all
Trade value for trade value, no fees involved
Question 4 of 5
How confident are you at pricing and photographing cards for listings?
๐ธVery confident. I know how to research market prices and take good photos.
I can list professionally
๐
Not confident. I just want someone else to handle it.
The simplicity of a buylist is worth the lower return
๐คSomewhat confident but unsure about current market prices
I should check C3 first before listing anything
๐ฌI would rather negotiate directly with a buyer or trader
Personal deal is easier than platform listing
Question 5 of 5
What is the main thing holding you back from selling right now?
โฑ๏ธTime. I know eBay pays more but listing takes effort.
The effort is worth it for the right cards
๐Finding a local or online store that wants what I have
I need to know where to send them
๐Not sure if now is the right time. Prices might be moving.
I need to track the market first
๐ฅFinding the right person to trade with
I have cards others want and they have cards I want
