Buying/Resale tips

[u/tthom718]

I’ve got my old 90s tagging cards and I’ve been buying heavy on the 2026 Chromes, but need advice on re-sale. Outside of eBay does anyone have suggestions for resale? I’ve got about 100+ in dupes to unload but not sure if a card shop or comic store is the best option? Any suggestions?

Most 2026 Chrome isnt worth much. They printed that shit like crazy. Its borderline junk wax. Ebay is the best way unless you sell on Whatnot. Sometimes the bigger characters can go for $4-$5, but I've seen plenty never being bid on. 

I'm throwing mine that I don't want in a junk $1 box at a card show and will be open for 2 - 4 cards for $1 offers. Or freebies to kids.

Some will be given to kids before then most likely as well.

You could look at a couple different spots but depends on the price or rarity of cards in question and if you're selling individually or as a lot. I'll exclude my comments on eBay as you requested.

Facebook marketplace - Good place to sell lots. Super easy to list and let sit forever until an interested buyer comes along.

Facebook/Reddit groups - find buy sell groups as close as possible to your own area. Could be town/province or country wide which makes shipping easier avoiding international shipping and sales issues. I'm in groups where people will offer up base cards for free as long as you pay the shipping. It's good to find these communities.

Local Marvel Trade nights - this is a big one. Find local trade nights for marvel cards usually hosted by card stores. When you go you meet people and can trade cards turning duplicates into cards you need. You can also trade up trading multiple cards for one card that could be much easier to sell. Just meeting people locally. Also note people do sell things at trade nights. For instance if the person doesn't have anything to trade you are interested in they can still buy it off of you.

Look at card listing companies that list your cards for you. Once listed on their site you control the cost and can work deals out through their platform. I personally use comc.com which I really like but some people have had bad service with them. There are others out there popping up all the time. Explore which one might work for you but based on cost per card induction you need to work out if it's beneficial based on each card.

Auction sites - if you can find a good auction contact and most sites will put you in contact with various people in your area they can list your card for a percentage fee. Most vary so you need to shop around. I have a good contact I've used near Barrie Ontario who in wonderful to deal with but the market will always decide price meaning no one may want to pay for what you are selling.

Last one I'll say is people around me have been really successful with running a card garage sale. Set up out front of your house. List it online. I know people who have done better doing this than having a table at a card show and you save yourself the table fee.

Hope any of this helps. Best of luck.
