We Buy for More & Sell for Less

Dark Moon Cards and Games buys singles and collections at all of our convention appearances, through the mail, or in person.  Let us know about your collection below - and we can schedule an appointment for buying.
  • We buy bulk, collections and single cards including V, EX, GX, Secret Rare, and Full Art at competitive prices.
  • Buying in person - weekends within 200 miles of Roanoke, VA or at any stop on the Con Schedule
  • Buying by mail - shipments evaluated and quote delivered within 1 business day of delivery
  • Cards should be in Near Mint condition
  • Use the form below to begin your sale
Bulk cards (non-Ultra Rares) are purchased by rarity - using the circle, diamond, or star shapes on the bottom of the card.  To speed your sale, sort your cards with Common (circle) and Uncommon (diamond) together, Rare (star), Holo Rare (star with holographic surface in the Pokemon picture area), and Reverse Holo (any symbol, holographic surface on the non-picture area of the card).

Tips:
  1. We do NOT buy graded cards - please don't include any graded cards in your collection.
  2. Bulk sales which are sorted by rarity will get the best bulk prices.  Please sort into the following categories: Common/Uncommon, Rare, Holo Rare, Reverse Holo
  3. When selling at a con, plan to leave your collection at our booth for evaluation - be sure that you remove cards you know you do not want to sell, and label your binder(s) with your name and phone number (sticky notes are just fine).
  4. We have a limited budget for cards older than Black & White era - if you have a large number of older cards, we may be unable to purchase your entire collection.
  5. While you have the right to accept or reject our offer, this is NOT an appraisal service - serious inquiries only!
