The Trading Post

Let's Trade

See something you want in the shop, but don't want to use cash? Use cards instead!

How a trade goes down

  1. DM me what you're after

    Send me the card you want from the shop, plus photos of what you've got. Front and back, good light, no sleeve glare.

  2. We agree on values

    Both sides get priced off market — what cards actually sell for, not what they're listed at. Condition counts,

  3. Ship or meet at a show

    Send your side first and will send my side after inspection. Or we hand-trade in person — here's where I'll be next.

The ground rules

Trade rules

Fair values, protected cards, paper trail. Here's the short version of how I keep trades clean.

Minimum trade value: Trades start at $20 a side. Below that, shipping eats the deal — save it for a show and we'll hand-trade instead.

Both sides ship insured: Tracked and insured, every time, no exceptions. Cards go out sleeved, top-loaded, and boxed. If something arrives damaged, insurance handles it — not an argument in the DMs.

Values come from TCGplayer market: Market price the week we trade, adjusted for condition. Adjustments are part of the conversation up front, never a surprise after you've shipped.

No trade needed

Just want to buy?

No trade required — the Instagram DMs work for straight purchases too. Message me the card you're after, I'll send payment details, and your cards ship as soon as payment lands — tracked and protected, same as any shop order.
