For selling your own cards, I’d first find out what expensive rares you have and sell them separately on Ebay or directly to a MtG online reseller – I’ll ask my hubby what site he uses and post it when he replies. You can also use this site to price out your rares and hard-to-find uncommons. This takes time, but I know of individual rares that easily sell for $20-$1000 depending on the set…it could be worth the time.

For the rest of your collection, I’d list it on Ebay after pricing out what similar collections are selling for by searching Ebay for collections containing a similar number and mix of rarity as your own.

Do you know what sets your cards are from? The oldest sets (Alpha and Beta) sell for much more than the others. A few sets sell for a lot less since most of their cards have been banned from tournament play (although collectors like my husband won’t care so it’s always worth pricing them out).

Feel free to email me with what you have and I could price it out for you, or if you have a price in mind, I can see if my husband would like to buy it. We already have 60,000 cards…they could be added to the family.

Thank you for your comments. I actually have a bunch of Magic: The Gathering cards that I am looking to sell. How did you fare with these?

I’m about to buy a freezer for the garage from Craigslist since I can get a chest freezer for $50 instead of $180 at the store or an auto-defrost upright freezer for $200 instead of $550.

I also use Craigslist to sell anything I have and Freecycle to give away whatever I want.

We used Craigslist to sell a 7 year old particle board dresser for $30, a plastic rolling storage container for $20, an old digital camera for $50, and a 4 year old Posterpedic mattress for $100.

I’ve Freecycled a bent bedframe, an entertainment unit with a missing door, throw rugs, a baby palm tree, and some fixtures we no longer needed.

I’ve used Ebay to sell some Magic: The Gathering repacks since that where the buyers for those are located.

As you said, you just need to find the right place for the right thing.
