Three Ways to Find Your Next Favorite
Sell to Us
Bring in items you own or are authorized to sell. We’ll assess what fits our current buying needs and discuss a cash offer for accepted items.
Trade Toward a Find
Ask for the store-credit offer, too. Your items are evaluated first, and accepted trade value can be applied toward a purchase. Confirm any credit terms with staff.

What We Consider
Music
Vinyl records, CDs, and tapes. Pressing, edition, playback condition, and original sleeves or artwork all matter.
Games & Hardware
Cartridge and disc games, consoles, controllers, and accessories. Bring the matching cables, manuals, and original packaging you have.
Movies
VHS, DVDs, and Blu-rays. Matching cases, artwork, playable condition, and unusual or out-of-print releases help us assess the item.
Pokémon & Cards
Cards and collections are reviewed for authenticity, set, edition, and condition. We use current market information when making an offer.
Toys & collectables
Action figures, pop culture collectables, and related pieces. Original accessories, complete parts, and packaging can make a difference.
Vintage Audio & Video
Turntables, stereos, and other vintage equipment. Call first about large items or gear with known faults so we can discuss whether it is a fit.
We don’t buy every item in every category. Condition, authenticity, demand, and what we already have in stock affect acceptance. Call ahead for large collections or anything you’re unsure about.

How Selling & Trading Works
01
Tell Us About It
Let us know what you brought, where it came from, what works, and whether you prefer cash, store credit, or either.
02
We Take a Look
We identify the exact item, inspect condition and completeness, and check function where possible. Then we review market information and current stock.
03
You Choose
We explain the cash and store-credit offers for items we can accept. Ask us to walk through the value of a particular piece. There’s no pressure to say yes.
04
Make It Official
If you accept, we verify your ID and complete a signed purchase agreement before paying or issuing credit. You receive an agreement copy or receipt.
The details make a difference
How We Value Your Items
Our evaluation considers recent market information for the correct edition and condition, along with authenticity, completeness, working condition, demand, and current inventory.
References may include Discogs for music, PriceCharting for games, TCGplayer for Pokémon, and completed eBay sales for collectables and other items.
A resale market value and a store’s purchase offer are different amounts. We’ll explain the offer for your items rather than promise one fixed percentage for every collection.
Before you head over
Bring the Whole Story
- Bring government-issued ID. Seller identity must be verified before we complete a purchase.
- Bring any matching boxes, manuals, inserts, controllers, and cables you have.
- Tell us about known damage, missing parts, repairs, or modifications.
- Keep cards and fragile items protected during transport.
- Call ahead with the approximate size and contents of a large collection.
Only bring items you own or are authorized to sell. The purchase agreement records the items, accepted price, and payment method.
A closer look at your collection
At the Pokémon Counter
Shop singles, bring cards to sell or trade, or ask for a free evaluation with no obligation. Offers reflect current market conditions.
We check authenticity and assess wear on the corners, edges, and surface. The exact set and condition matter. If you’d like to understand an offer, ask us to walk through the cards with you.
For a trade, we evaluate your cards first and apply the accepted credit toward the items you choose.
Another option for selected pieces
Ask About Consignment
Consignment lets us sell an accepted item on your behalf while you retain ownership until it sells. It can be a fit for selected higher-value pieces when you’re willing to wait for a buyer.
We work with each partner for the of the final sale price and consignment fee. Acceptance and the agreed selling price are discussed before the item goes on the floor.
Before leaving an item, review and sign the consignment agreement. Confirm payment timing, any markdowns, the consignment term, and what happens if it does not sell.
Good questions before a visit
Buy, Sell & Trade FAQs
Will you buy my entire collection?
We review items individually or as an appropriate lot. Some may fit our buying needs while others may not. Stock levels, demand, condition, and authenticity all affect what we can accept. Call ahead with an overview of a large collection.
Can I turn down the offer?
Absolutely. Ask questions, take your time, and decline if the offer is not right for you. Once you accept and payment is issued, the purchase agreement states that the sale to the store is final and the items will not be returned.
How does store credit work?
Ask for both the cash and credit amounts. Before accepting credit, confirm what it can be used for, whether it expires, and whether it can be transferred. Staff will record your credit and provide a receipt or transaction record.
Do you buy damaged, incomplete, or untested items?
Tell us exactly what is missing or not working before bringing it in. We may decline an item or assess it differently based on its condition. Acceptance is never guaranteed. If you want to keep the equipment and have it assessed for repair, visit our Repairs page.
What should I check before buying vintage items?
Ask about condition, included accessories, testing, and compatibility with your equipment. “Tested working” describes the item when inspected; vintage equipment and media can change with age and use. Review the sale terms and any written return, exchange, or warranty exception with staff before purchasing.
Is consignment the same as selling to the store?
No. With an outright sale, the store buys your item at the agreed amount. With consignment, you retain ownership until it sells and receive your agreed share afterward according to the consignment agreement. A sale or sale date is not guaranteed.
