What We Offer: 

Our store credit trade-in percentage is typically 50-80%, and fluctuates slightly depending on the condition of the card, how many of that exact card are in our inventory, the game you're playing, etc. For cash, we offer rates of 20-50%. Check out our buylist to see exactly how much store credit or cash you can get for your cards!

Cash Budget

Holo Haven has a significant cash budget allocated for trade-ins, but this budget can be depleted depending on the demand for cash trade-ins, and therefore we may deny cash trade-ins at times depending on the current budget and size of the trade-in. Contact Holo Haven in-person or via phone to inquire about the cash trade-in budget status, especially if you have a trade-in for more than $1000.

    Prerelease and Release Weekend Rates

    Prerelease and Release Weekend items have some of the most volatile market values in card games, and typically are far higher than market pricing after release. As such, our we only offer store credit on these trade-ins, and do so at lower rates. All new releases start at lower rates, typically 30-40% lower than our standard rates, and will return to our standard rates once the market stabilizes.

    Consignment

    Our consignment option offers the highest rates you can receive from Holo Haven. We only consign items over $100 in value, but you can consign items outside of our normal offerings, including high value supplies such as custom deck boxes, Yu-Gi-Oh or Weiss Schwarz cards, or even artwork. Our rates for consignment start at are.

    • 80% of value in store credit OR
    • 60% of value in cash

    You may choose whether or not we are allowed to consign your items through online marketplaces such as eBay and TCGPlayer. In this case, the online marketplace will take their own fee out of the sale, typically 15%. If we sell the items through one of these online marketplaces, the item's owner is responsible for any fees incurred as part of the sale of the card.

    Other Details

    All products must be in English, with the exception of custom languages such as Phyrexian in MTG.

    We follow TCGPlayer Market Values for all products with the exception of graded slabs, for which we follow PriceCharting market values.

    Sealed product can be traded in, but typically we will only accept trade-ins of sealed product that is no longer in print.

    Any trade-in containing fake or proxy products WILL be rejected and returned to you. We reserve the right to reject all your future trade-ins outright if you submit fake or proxy products.

    Cards and other items from dropped off trade-ins that we are unable to accept will be held for 15 days after the trade-in is completed or rejected and the customer has been notified. If those items are not picked up within 15 days, they will be considered donations to the store.
