Best place to sell pokemon cards

molit

I've just inherited a load (probably about 2-300) of Pokemon cards - they seem to be wide ranging and have been lovingly collected - is there a way of being paid to get rid of them through ebay :-) ? I know nothing about pokemon so could do with the collective wisdom of the forum - what are the valuable ones? Or should I just chuck them in the bin?

2001,

but in all seriousness I think which ones are worth more will depend on what edition of the cards they are, I remember Chansey and Charizard being the ones people wanted before.

Oooo I'd be interested to know too!

I have loads which belong to my son that are just stuffed into boxes and bags!
Also, yu ghi oh(sp) cards & footie cards.
Anyone have any ideas on the best thing to do with them?
Was thinking freecycle or the bin! Now I might go research Ebay!

Always research ebay first just in case you have any little gems in the collection. The basic ones though are probably only worth a few pence and they might be worth listing in large batches on a cheap listing day.

Othewise is it worth looking to see if there are any dedicated pokemon web groups where selling is allowed?

Unless they're VERY rare and/or a full set in MINT condition....they're pretty much worthless.

May be worth taking a picture of them...any "Shineys" in a prominent position...and punting them on eBay.

You never know...someone may take a risk and go for them...but anything more than a tenner plus P&P would be a good result!!

yes - they are worth putting on ebay. i buy them for my son and his friends buy off ebay too. i buy sets of 30 - 60 cards for about £4 inc postage so if u can sell them in small lots go for it. also i have seen large lots 200+ cards go for £15 +

worth ago :T

Varies on shinies as well. I sold 100 cards, 20 shinies and made £80 odd. The ones with the stars in (shiny or not!) in the lower right hand corner are the rarest, going down to diamond, down to circle

Finally managed to count up all of the cards - reckon I have 25ish shinies, 30 stars, and about 20 water power cards wihch according to a booklet i found with them are equitvalent to starred cards. On trop of that there are about 100 diamnonds, and 300 circles - should I sell them in one lot, small lots of 5 shinies and 5 stars, or just chuck them in the bin?
