terms and conditions

Last updated: 07/29/26

1. About these Terms

This website, sellpokemonnow.com (the "Site"), is operated by Pocket Change Collectibles LLC, a Florida limited liability company doing business as "SellPokemonNow" ("we," "us," "our").

The Site exists for one purpose: to let people who own Pokémon cards and other trading cards offer them to us for sale. These Terms govern your use of the Site, any inquiry or submission you make through it, and any transaction in which we buy cards from you.

By using the Site, submitting an inquiry, sending us photos or a card list, meeting with us, or shipping cards to us, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

Scope. These Terms cover our purchase of cards from you. If you separately buy cards from us — through our store, at a card show, or on a third-party marketplace — that purchase is governed by the terms presented at the point of sale on that channel, not by these Terms.

Any condition standards, pay rates, or submission instructions we publish are incorporated into these Terms by reference and may be updated as described in Section 8.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, to sell cards to us. If you are under 18, a parent or legal guardian must be present for and complete the transaction on your behalf. We may decline to transact if we cannot reasonably confirm this.

3. We are a buyer, not an appraiser or a consignment service

We buy cards for our own account, for resale at a profit. That means:

  • Our offers are wholesale offers. We pay a percentage of what we believe we can eventually realize, net of our costs, risk, and the time our capital is tied up. Our offer will be below retail or "market value" as reported by price guides, sold listings, or grading-company price data. This is how the business works and is not a representation that your cards are worth only what we offer.

  • We do not provide appraisals. Nothing we tell you — verbally, in writing, or through the Site — is a formal appraisal, a valuation for insurance or estate purposes, or a fair-market-value opinion you should rely on for tax, legal, or insurance purposes. If you need an appraisal, engage a qualified independent appraiser.

  • We do not accept consignment unless we agree to it separately in a signed writing. Absent such an agreement, every transaction is an outright purchase.

  • You are free to sell elsewhere. You are under no obligation to sell to us at any point before payment, and we encourage you to get competing offers.

4. Preliminary estimates are not offers

If you send us photos, a card list, a spreadsheet, a video, or a verbal description, we may respond with a preliminary estimate or range. Any such estimate:

  • is a non-binding, good-faith guess based solely on the information you gave us;

  • assumes your description of condition, quantity, edition, set, and authenticity is accurate;

  • is not an offer, and does not obligate either of us to anything; and

  • may change materially — in either direction — once we physically inspect the cards.

A binding offer exists only when we have physically inspected the cards and stated a specific price. Photographs and descriptions cannot substitute for physical inspection, particularly for vintage cards, where condition frequently differs from how it is described.

5. Offer validity

Any offer we make is open only for the period we state, and if we state no period, for 24 hours after we make it. Offers are made against a card market that moves, so an expired offer is not necessarily renewable at the same price.

We may withdraw or revise an offer at any time before payment if:

  • the cards materially differ from what you described or from what we inspected;

  • we discover damage, alteration, trimming, restoration, water or smoke exposure, counterfeits, or authenticity concerns;

  • the quantity or contents change; or

  • you add, remove, or substitute items after inspection.

6. In-person purchases

Where we buy in person:

  • Time and place are by mutual arrangement and confirmed in advance. We may meet at a public location of our choosing, and we may decline to meet at a private residence.

  • We inspect at the meeting. Inspection time depends on volume; large collections may require a separate scheduled session or may be assessed on a lot basis rather than card by card.

  • Payment is made at the meeting by the method we agree on. Cash payments above a threshold we set may not be available on short notice.

  • Either party may decline to transact at any point before payment, for any lawful reason, without owing the other anything.

  • If we schedule a visit and you cancel, are not present, or the cards are not materially as described, we may decline future appointments.

7. Mail-in submissions

Where we accept a mail-in submission, the following applies.

Shipping and risk of loss. You are responsible for packing your cards adequately. Risk of loss and damage remains with you until the package is physically received by us. This is true even if we provide you with a prepaid shipping label, packing materials, or shipping instructions — providing those things is a convenience and does not make us the shipper, the insurer, or the owner of the cards in transit. You are responsible for purchasing insurance and for filing any carrier claim. We will provide reasonable documentation to support a claim.

Inspection. We inspect submissions in the order received and within a reasonable time. We assess condition flaw by flaw and, where we have published condition standards and pay rates, we apply those standards. Our inspection determination controls.

Outcome. After inspection we will tell you the amount we will pay. You may accept, or you may decline and have the cards returned.

  • If you accept, we pay by the method and on the timeline stated at the time of submission.

  • If you decline, or if we decline to purchase some or all of the submission, return shipping is [at your expense / at our expense — pick one and state it]. Unless we have agreed otherwise in writing, returns are shipped by a method and insurance level we select as reasonable for the value involved.

  • If you do not respond to our determination within 14 days, we may treat the submission as declined and return it, or hold it pending your response.

Unclaimed property. If we cannot reach you after reasonable attempts over a period of 60 days, or if a returned package is refused or undeliverable and you do not provide a working address, we may treat the property as abandoned and dispose of it, to the extent permitted by Florida law. We will document our attempts to reach you.

Partial submissions. If a submission contains items we do not buy, we may purchase the remainder and return the rest, or decline the submission as a whole.

8. Condition assessment and published rates

Condition grading of raw cards is inherently subjective, and reasonable people disagree about it. Our assessment is made in good faith by experienced graders and is the basis for what we pay. It is not a grade issued by a third-party grading company and should not be treated as a prediction of one.

Where we publish condition standards and pay rates, those apply to submissions received while they are in effect. We may change published standards and rates at any time; changes are not retroactive to a submission already in transit to us or already inspected, and we will honor the rates in effect when you sent your cards, provided the submission arrives within any stated window.

If you disagree with our condition assessment, your remedy is to decline the offer and have the cards returned under Section 7.

9. Your representations and warranties

By offering cards to us, you represent and warrant that:

  1. you are the sole lawful owner of the cards, or are fully authorized to sell them on the owner's behalf;

  2. the cards are free of any lien, security interest, claim, or competing ownership interest, including claims arising from divorce, probate, bankruptcy, or joint ownership;

  3. the cards were not stolen and were not obtained by fraud or other unlawful means;

  4. to the best of your knowledge the cards are authentic and have not been counterfeited, trimmed, recolored, resurfaced, pressed, reglossed, or otherwise altered, and any known alteration has been disclosed to us;

  5. no grading-company case or label in the submission has been tampered with, swapped, opened and resealed, or reproduced;

  6. you have disclosed any material condition issue you know of that is not visible on inspection, including water, mold, or smoke exposure; and

  7. all information you have given us — including condition descriptions, quantities, and provenance — is accurate and complete.

You agree to indemnify us for any loss arising from a breach of these representations, including the amount we paid you, our costs of investigation, and any amount we must pay a third party asserting an ownership claim.

10. Identification, records, and unlawful items

We may require government-issued photo identification, a signed bill of sale, and a written inventory as a condition of any purchase, and may decline to transact without them. We may retain these records.

We do not knowingly buy stolen property. If we have a good-faith reason to believe cards offered to us are stolen or otherwise unlawfully obtained, we may decline the transaction, decline to return the items, and report the matter to law enforcement, and we may cooperate fully with any law enforcement inquiry, including by providing your identifying and transaction information. If we discover after purchase that cards were stolen, we may surrender them to law enforcement or the rightful owner, and you agree to refund the full purchase price on demand.

11. Payment and taxes

We pay by the method agreed at the time of the transaction. Payment timing for mail-in submissions is as stated at submission.

You are solely responsible for any tax consequences of selling cards to us, including any income or capital gains reporting. We do not provide tax advice. Where required by law, we may collect a taxpayer identification number and issue an information return.

12. Final sale

Once we pay you and you accept payment, the sale is final and title to the cards passes to us in full. We may then do anything we like with them: resell them at any price and on any channel, break them out of lots or combine them into new ones, submit them for grading, crack cases, or dispose of them.

You waive any claim based on:

  • the price at which we later resell a card, including where that price substantially exceeds what we paid you;

  • a grade a third-party grading company later assigns to a card, including a high grade;

  • our later discovery that a card was more valuable, rarer, or in better condition than we assessed at purchase; or

  • subsequent changes in the market value of the cards.

The corollary also holds: we bear the loss if a card turns out to be worth less than we paid, or grades below what we projected, absent a breach of Section 9.

13. Not investment or financial advice

Trading cards are collectibles, not securities or investments. Nothing on the Site or in our communications — including price commentary, comparable sales data, grading suggestions, or market opinions — is investment, financial, tax, or legal advice. Collectible values are volatile and can fall sharply. Any decision to sell, hold, or grade is yours alone.

14. Communications

If you give us your phone number or email address, you consent to receive calls, texts, and emails from us about your inquiry, your submission, offers, and scheduling, and, where you have opted in, about buying opportunities and market updates. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to a text or use the unsubscribe link in an email to opt out of marketing messages; we may still contact you about an open transaction. In addition, carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages

We may record or retain written communications, including photographs and card lists you send, as part of our transaction records.

15. Site content and intellectual property

Our content. The Site's text, design, photographs, graphics, logos, condition standards, and rate tables are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property law. You may not copy, scrape, republish, or use our published condition standards, rate tables, or photographs for commercial purposes without our prior written permission.

Third-party marks and no affiliation. Pokémon and all related names, characters, images, and logos are trademarks and copyrighted works of Nintendo, Creatures Inc., GAME FREAK inc., and The Pokémon Company. PSA, CGC, BGS, TCGplayer, eBay, and other names are trademarks of their respective owners. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or otherwise associated with any of these companies. We use these marks only to identify and describe the products we buy, as permitted under nominative fair use.

16. Reviews and user content

If you submit a review, photograph, testimonial, or other content to us or about us, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual license to use, reproduce, and display it in connection with our business, including in marketing. You represent that you own or have the right to submit it. We do not offer payment, price increases, or other consideration in exchange for a positive review, and we do not condition an offer on your agreement to leave one.

17. Acceptable use

You agree not to: use the Site for any unlawful purpose; submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information; offer us property you do not own or are not authorized to sell; use bots, scrapers, or automated tools to access or copy the Site or our published rates; attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site or any related system; or interfere with the Site's operation.

18. Privacy

Our handling of the information you give us — including contact details, identification, photographs, and transaction records — is described in our Privacy Policy at https://www.sellpokemonnow.com/privacy-policy

19. Disclaimer of warranties

The Site is provided "as is" and "as available." To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that any price information, estimate, rate table, or comparable sales data presented on the Site is accurate, complete, or current.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so some of these may not apply to you.

20. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost opportunity, or loss of collectible or market value, arising out of or relating to the Site, any inquiry or submission, or any transaction — whether based in contract, tort, warranty, strict liability, or otherwise, and even if we were advised of the possibility of such damages. This includes any claim that you could have obtained a better price elsewhere or at another time.

Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to any transaction or the Site will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount we paid or offered you in the transaction giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100). For mail-in submissions we decline and return, our liability is limited as set out in Section 7.

Nothing here excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including for fraud or willful misconduct.

21. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Pocket Change Collectibles LLC and its owner, employees, contractors, and agents from any claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of your breach of these Terms, your violation of any law or third-party right, or any card or other item you sold or offered to sell to us.

22. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Site, or any transaction will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Alachua County, Florida, and you and we consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

Before filing any claim, you agree to contact us and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.

23. General

Changes to these Terms. We may update these Terms at any time. The updated version takes effect when posted, with a revised "Last updated" date. The version in effect when you submitted your cards governs that transaction.

Force majeure. We are not liable for delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, hurricanes, carrier disruptions, platform outages, or government action.

Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary and the rest will remain in force.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with any published condition standards, rate tables, and submission instructions, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Site and our purchase of your cards, and supersede any prior discussions or understandings.
