General Information, Terms, Conditions, Scotty-P-Pet-Peeves-That-Will-Make-Me-Stop-Replying-To-Your-PMs, Autobot Code entries, etc.ConditionMost everything here is in great shape, but I do not guarantee mint condition especially since most of them are never "mint" due to how they're packaged. If you are hyper-picky about condition, please ask for additional pictures. Anything with obvious problems like bends, tears, etc is noted in the listings and can be had for less than other copies of the character card that are in better condition, or even for free!
Pricing, Discounts and PaymentPayment accepted through Paypal as "sending to Friends or Family", or as goods/services but you are responsible for the associated fee if you choose that option. Items are not yours until you pay for them, but if your message expresses a desire to pay as soon as possible once confirming availability then I'll try to update the listing here as "pending" or something like that. In other words, if you waffle around in my PM box while trying to decide on something I will not hesitate to sell to someone being decisive in the mean time.
The pricing here is very arbitrary, but it generally reflects the shockingly high cost of collecting these cards. Yes, there are some cheap-o cards available here and there from time to time, but if you're really looking to complete a set things can get out of hand quickly. Pricing shown below DOES NOT INCLUDE SHIPPING (more on shipping further below.) If you're only buying one card, do not ask for a discount. If you're only buying two or three and they're $1-$3 a piece, do not ask for a discount. If you're looking to buy a handful of more expensive items or a large amount in general, I'm happy to work with you on knocking the listed prices here down!
A note on the Japanese Beast Wars/II/Neo cards - these are spares acquired through Yahoo Japan auctions for larger lots that had less than a dozen of my lacks and dude, these things were
expensive to win on auction, especially considering I had to use an intermediary service. Due to this, there are
no discounts of any kind on these, including "free shipping" deals. Still not convinced? Assuming these all sell I still won't even be breaking even on said lots. If you don't like the listed prices on the import Beast Wars cards, sorry, and good luck on your continued search. Try Yahoo Japan
TradesOh hell yeah, let's do it.
See my list here, generally speaking I will trade
heavily in your favor but this will of course depend on what it is you want in return.
Just don't ask to trade me for something not on my want list, that's not how this works.
Shipping Method and PricingEvery card you see here has already been "double-sleeved" and now lives inside a top-loader. To ensure the highest level of protection, ALL PURCHASES WILL SHIP AS A "PACKAGE" inside a small mailing box, even one-card purchases. I will not send anything through a stamped envelope. Other toys will be shipped in the most economical fashion possible. All purchases over $30 will ship insured for exact value to protect me if your stuff gets punted into a dark oblivion by the Greensboro post office, I hate those guys. Being an extremely busy professional that has responsibilities at home while also doing podcasts, pursuing other hobbies and so on, please allow up to 48 hours for me to ship your purchase but I will try to get things out as quickly as I can once paid for.
Shipping cost will depend on how much you buy. I only charge actual shipping costs, costs of shipping/packing materials has been factored in to item pricing. Due to I am happy to ship to most international destinations but please understand that USPS rates have gotten pretty high for anything going international, including just to Canada.
Most purchases will run a minimum of $6.85 in shipping costs, though smaller orders may only be ~$3-4 if I can keep your item under 6 oz. while still packaged safely.
Communication and FeedbackYou must PM me if interested (or reach out on Twitter, text me if we're irl pals, shoot me an email if you already have it, etc.) I will not be monitoring thread replies in any reliable manner. I don't have time for this sales stuff, hence this entirely too long, probably-detrimental-to-sales information dump. With that in mind, please allow up to 24 hours for replies and 24-48 hours for me to ship your purchase. Best effort will be made to mark sold items as such, as soon as possible but please understand that an item or two may slip through the cracks in this regard from time to time.
My reputation for being a fair buyer and seller is something I take very seriously. I have over a decade of stellar feedback history through
eBay,
TFW2005 and
Seibertron. Communicate clearly, deal fairly and behave with integrity and we'll be just fine. Have even made some new friends this way!
