Customer Reviews

of our Magic collection selling service

Sold cards on here a few times, the last couple gradings were fair, however this order was enough to make me want to look at other options. It was a played set for sure, but the high value cards, like cyclonic rift, were graded unfairly. I feel a bit robbed. Just wanted to let you know I got the sense cards were graded lower to cut costs from this order.

The Card Conduit service is the smoothest and easiest process I've come across for bulk selling cards. The issue with this service is the grading. Though grading should be strict they seem to grade on the lower side compared to something like TCG which did cause some frustration.
Overall I would recommend this service to friends or anyone wanting to sell with the understanding you will get graded harshly so set proper expectations.

Not to bury the lede, here is the TL;DR of this review: for the best Card Conduit experience, set your grading and payout expectations as low as possible and lean into the convenience.

Not to bury the lede, here is the TL;DR of this review: for the best Card Conduit experience, set your grading and payout expectations as low as possible and lean into the convenience.

I used the Sorted service and sent in 485 cards.

PROS:
Customer service experience was great; Nick is great; responses were prompt and personal. I ran out of time preparing my order, and when I did finally ship, several cards had fallen below the $0.50 threshhold. Nick said that's fine, leave 'em in. Huge help there. My order arrived smack in the holiday season, but the CC team was still prompt in replying to my questions on Christmas Day. Payout came right on time with no hitches. Awesome.

CONS:
Even understanding that my own assessment of card quality would be high, I was still pretty disappointed by the grading. Most everything was MP or below, and the payout reflected it - I had told myself that $2,500 was the least I would accept, but... well.

The thing is, CC has to pay their clients based on a whole host of resell factors that most people wouldn't necessarily consider. And their grading is necessarily based on the demanding expectations of their own buyers. I am willing to take on faith that their grading was accurate given those parameters, but it sure feels bad to scrutinize a card, think to yourself "Yeah, this is in pretty stellar condition" and then find out that it was rated at Moderately Played and bought at 60% of the value you expected. Repeat that for 485 cards, and I would be lying if I said it didn't leave me feeling pretty bummed.

If I were to use CC again, I think it would be to maximize the convenience factor: bulk rares and so on.
If you have cards that will sell as singles, strongly consider selling them as singles. And if you do use Card Conduit, know exactly what the time saved will be worth to you.

Very easy process. Selling is fast, and I like the updates card conduit gives.

Unfortunately I only sell to card conduit after I've sold to other vendors since their grading is consistently always lower than other vendors. I've sold now thousands of cards and there is a definite pattern of unfair grading at card conduit. If you want fair grading, sell elsewhere first then if you don't have any other options or the time investment isn't worth it, then sell to card conduit.

My cards value were cut in half by the time they were processed. I understand this can happen, but several cards became literally 0. I sent in 16 planner elves that were 60 cents, only to become literally 0? You could at least give a few cents for a card you were paying 60 a few days prior.

Overall experience was satisfactory, however one card I sent was not payout at the expected value. I sent a ln Ancient Copper Dragon, Borderless Foil Variant art (#368) and during the checkout process I was informed I was going to receive $50 for it, however at the end I was paid $25.

Overall experience was satisfactory, however one card I sent was not payout at the expected value. I sent a ln Ancient Copper Dragon, Borderless Foil Variant art (#368) and during the checkout process I was informed I was going to receive $50 for it, however at the end I was paid $25. When I went to check my dashboard I couldn’t see the original offer and none of the emails about the order also had it. I am pretty certain of the offer as I shopped around and I chose CC because of the prices.

Process was simple enough. This was my second shipment. First one went great, this time I did the curated list and for my Mana Crypt, I got $20 less than the previewed amount. A courtesy heads up would have been nice if there’s a large difference than the estimate.

Process was easy. However, some cards were not evaluated properly. New ones were rated played and used were rated new and so on. They have to make money somehow.

Process was easy. However, some cards were not evaluated properly. New ones were rated played and used were rated new and so on. They have to make money somehow. If your not patient enough to list yourself and need to sell fast this is an option. You will get 70% mabe 80% what you want out of them. I got 600 less than what i wanted for mine. If I had got 200 more I would be pleased and rated 8 or 9 out of 10. Use the service but just know they have to make money somehow and it's in the evaluation process. I would recommend if one needs fast money and doesn't care to take a small bath.

Process too long and harsh grading lost 16% value.

The eziest way to sell MTG cards. Not the fastest. Plan on a month for payment. Their grading is tough. Very tough. Careful about the pricing too. They don't always give market valu for your cards. But still better payout then your local TCG.

The process was very smooth and I think the grading is pretty strict. I wouldn't recommend sending foils, be prepared to only receive LP or below.

The process was very smooth and I think the grading is pretty strict. I wouldn't recommend sending foils, be prepared to only receive LP or below. The main issue I have using CC is how pricing can shift from the time you send your package to the time it is received, and this can become very significant if certain cards had a high buylist price from one vendor and that filled up before your cards arrived, automatically putting you to the second highest vendor (yet often at much lower price). I would say that CC is the way to go for sending <$5 cards if you have a fair quantity, while it may be worth the effort to lockin prices and send more expensive cards to seperate buylists.

Used this service once before had a good experience (only reason im giving 3 stars). Grading seemed on par with tcg at the time. This time around however, different story.

Used this service once before had a good experience (only reason im giving 3 stars). Grading seemed on par with tcg at the time. This time around however, different story. Cards sold to me NM from TCGDirect, graded a MP? (that means i should take up issue with tcg about their quality they sent me?) Either way, the drastic drop in price for a MP vs NM is astounding (whats this pokemon?). Thought id be receiving around $50, (generously) would've been MP on everything according to their chart, yet somehow I came in even lower at $37. For $6 each on foil Crushing Brutality secret lair swamps ill buy them back. And any extras you have at that, ill even do better than your buylist, ill pay $8 (I mean I was only buying them at $20, ill buy them at less than half price all day). Could've fire sold everything for half price on facebook and made out better than this. This is a drastic difference in experiences using this service. To be transparent the other cards in this particular shipment were graded about right, mostly, even gave me a NM where I would've graded a LP. But $6 on those Foil Swamps is laughable.

The instructions do say that the address sometimes gets confusing for those delivering the package but the transit time seemed confusing. The processing of my order and payment came at a reasonable pace though.

If bulk, I can see their services being amazing.

If bulk, I can see their services being amazing. However My shipment being values at 30% less (which in the grand scheme of things is not that high) still felt steep compared to the exact shipment I made to Card Kingdom a few weeks before where they only values it at around 16% less (Not using credit). I took the risk cause Ive been seeing their promotions going around and must say I will not be sending card that I can sell at other buylist for a better deal. Still quick service and pretty nice that I got updated along the way. Communication was professional and I do appreciate that hence why Im leaving the review. Cheers!

I’m exhausted with a three year old and need the quick money. But I wasn’t happy with the grading. I sold over 3,000 worth of cards.

I literally bought brand new, never before played cards that went straight into double sleeves and somehow got some wonky medium played or worse grades.

I literally bought brand new, never before played cards that went straight into double sleeves and somehow got some wonky medium played or worse grades.

There’s some cards I’m very familiar with and could recall how LP or MP would be fair and possible.

Overall, needed things to be quick for cash and lack of hassle as a tired dad.

It’s an ok place if you need the cash but it isn’t my first choice if I had more time.

Cards were graded harsher than they should’ve been. Cards valued above $1 at time of shipping dropped below that and were graded as bulk once they got to them. Fine since I needed the cash but I wouldn’t be using them in the future.

The process of submitting cards (I sent in about 4600 cards, most of which was bulk commons/uncommons) was pretty straightforward. They tell you about their fees, but they don’t really tell you that 20% here and 5% there really adds up to them giving you about 50% of what they value your cards at. ... Read more

They tell you about their fees, but they don’t really tell you that 20% here and 5% there really adds up to them giving you about 50% of what they value your cards at. I’ve only done this once, so maybe it wasn’t reflective of the average experience, but it’s all I have to go off of at this point.

They are super fast with payment and willing go above and beyond on that aspect, but as far as condition goes… they grade extremely unfairly. But one man’s opinion vs another. I had the choice to decline and would have if I didn’t need the money.

The site is very informative, communication throughout the process was great, and easy payment. With that said, I will say the grading was rough. I think foils must be very harshly graded. I was hoping that the lot overall would reach the lightly played payout which I would have been happy with. I knew one of the cards I sent in was a MP card heading in, so I wasn't surprised when it received that grade. To see about half the lot receive the same grade was very disappointing, as I thought a good chunk of the lot was in LP-NM condition. Will probably try again in the future with less foils.

I am a big fan of this company, and have used the service multiple times, usually for lower to mid grade cards. This time I had some cards graded rather harshly severely impacting the value to the point where I would have much rather kept the cards. I will continue to use the service, but will now be a much more hesitant on what I send in.
