Great little shop in Wilmington with a small but excellent selection of boardgames and miniatures; nice selection of card games and supplies; one of the staff was kind enough to teach my friend and I a card game we had just purchased; well worth stopping by if you happen to be in the area!

Sold my entire Pokémon card collection here. Ive been out of the hobby for a long time and went in with and open mind and was pleasantly surprised with the value they gave me for the collection. Staff was very friendly and gave me alot of personal time to go over many of the cards with me. Overall it was a very good experience.

I've been here 5 times now. The staff and people that are there are all friendly, which is the only reason this gets a 2 star review. When I went to sell 4 binders and 13 Elite trainer boxes filled with pokemon cards (The binders being all rares, the etbs were reverse holos, commons and uncommons) the owner told me the best he could do was probably 150 (the next store I went to with the same items I ended up with about 400 cash and another 200 in store credit). It's fair to say this store has the best prize support for their drafting events, but they are making money off of said drafts as well. This is the only store that charges $20 OR MORE for a draft, whereas other local areas cost $12. The final straw for me was when I showed up 2 minutes late for a draft, they were seating everyone and just starting to pass out packs, and I was told I was too late, BECAUSE IT WAS TOO ANNOYING TO HAVE TO RETYPE EVERYONE'S NAME INTO THE DRAFT. Next time just let me know I'm too late and I'll let it go. Don't tell me you're going to turn me away because you're too lazy to type 7-12 people's names. IF I return here, it will be because there is no where else to go. You will get more bang for your buck LITERALLY ANYWHERE ELSE.

Questions & Answers

Do they buy or barter for mtg cards?

They will buy for store credit that you can use to get more cards. You can ask "how many packs can I get for Purphoros?" It depends on the person though. If you're trying to barter MTG with the Yu-Gi-Oh guy for example, he's less able to be flexible.

What’s the amount they take cards for? Is it market price, under market price or above market price? (This is for yu gi oh not MTG but MTG answers would be helpful I play both)

Depends, cards below a certain value will be classified as bulk, high value cards they will research in real time and make individual offers, mood range cards will have a more standard value at about 50% market.
