At the outset, I will say that it is clearly Card Conduit's mission to have satisfied customers. At every stage of the process they were responsive and went above and beyond to answer questions and clear up any confusion I had. I do think the FAQ could be more detailed and some key points highlighted, but those are minor issues.

My complaint pertains to grading. I have buylisted well over 10,000 MTG cards to various vendors, and the ratio of grades I've received has been about 95% NM, 5% LP, and a very rare MP, and this includes cards from all eras and values, foils and non-foils. When I sent my cards to Card Conduit, barely half received a NM grade, and more than two dozen were MP, including some I know for a fact went from a pack to a sleeve, never being played.

Of course that meant is all the added profit I'd hoped for when sending cards to them was not to be, and instead I needed to have many cards sent back to me so I could ship them to another vendor, who I know from past experience is more realistic about grading. When I told Card Conduit how surprised I was regarding the grades I received, they did do to great lengths to justify their grades, although when I produced previous buylists showing what another vendor had graded my cards, they didn't really have an explanation for that.

Still, I do want to emphasize that if you are indeed lucky enough to get your cards graded NM by Card Conduit, you could indeed make considerably more by using their service. But I'm no longer willing to take that risk going forward.

Had 2 cards that were rated at MP. The value I received for them was less than 50% of their NM price. That seems a bit low in my opinion. The rest of the prices were fair enough. I just think going down to MP takes way too large of a hit.

The process was fine and like they said but I got way less then I was hoping and would have been better just selling them myself

I sold 2 shipments of roughly 50 -60 cards of Revised and Dark MTG.

I sold 2 shipments of roughly 50 -60 cards of Revised and Dark MTG. I was surprised when the 1st shipment paid roughly 70% of the estimate, I though card were in near perfect shape, corners were crisp, minimal scuffing, and had been sorted in climate control room for nearly 30 years. CC showed me where the binders rings had marked cards and I understood where the value was lost. Before sending the second shipment I made sure the most valuable cards(dual lands) had no binder marks, but most were still marked as MP. I'm glad I kept the most valuable Dual Lands from my collection. I was disappointed with overall payments, but certainly less effort than selling individually. Would recommend, but have realistic expectations.

The process was easy, especially if you have your cards cataloged. I did feel like the grading process downgraded more cards than I would have expected, considering many of the cards I submitted had never been played but such is the quality of magic cards Wizards is producing today so I did not argue the conditions. Overall satisfied with the service and will likely reuse it in the future.

Process was easy and straightforward. No complaints really. I will say that the estimate assumes all of your cards are mint condition and they are very critical when it comes to card quality. So don't believe their rosy estimate as you likely won't be getting that, and you don't really have any bargaining power once they have your cards.

I've used Card Conduit multiple times and it's been fine. This time there were delays and even though that can be expected, it can be frustrating all the same. I felt like the reps response was unnecessarily hostile when I expressed my concern with the delay. I've had good interactions in the past when there was confusion or a mistake on my part, but this one will definitely be what I remember. Given that, they are still worth at least 3 stars because it's easy to ship a box of random cards and get cash back.

The process was easy enough, but I was unprepared for the market fluctuations in prices between my initial estimate and the actual processing of my cards. It also seemed as though many of the cards were graded much more harshly than they should have been. I'm not sure how a card that has spent its entire life in storage (much of that sleeved) can get graded as "moderately played."

All that being said, the process is super easy and I'm about to do another shipment with tempered expectations this time.

They are hard on the play damage and it's difficult to know which versions are which in their system. Overall though, this whole process is super difficult and usually low value no matter where you go and this company doesn't stand out in particular.

I sent in over $16,000 worth of cards, valued at TCG Low, and received a little less than $6,000 total. Promotional materials imply a value ratio between 60-80% but 40% would be much more accurate. Glad to be rid of the cards but I would have buylisted more if I knew what was coming.

So I’ve sent in many shipments and this might be the first time I’ve had a gripe about the pricing and conditions claimed, they were all with older cards so I think I’m going to avoid sending in my older stuff as MP quickly turns into DMG even where there is no creasing and it’s just edge wear. A little disappointed here.

Mailing from outside the US was costly and the prosses for payment outside of the US did field for some complications with payment, the service was fast and easy. Great way to unload lots of cards.

The process was pretty simple and easy. I only have a couple of gripes. One was that it took a while for everything to be processed and I didn't send in more than 100 cards. Another was that the grading system felt rather harsh and since I couldn't get returns I couldn't turn down an offer on a couple of cards. It may have been my fault, but given what I got for some of my higher value cards, I would rather have the card. That being said, I am still planning on sifting through my bulk commons and uncommons to see if it's worth sending. Now the good part was that I did receive a full breakdown of each card and I did receive the exact amount that they said I would. Even if it took longer than expected. And it was more than I would have received from my LGS. Though with my LGS I was able to deny an offer and keep my card. Highly recommended for cards valued between $1 and $5, but higher than that sell on ebay or TCG Player.

I am happy for they're service, but I had multiple people wanting just a couple of the cards for far more than what they gave me. This makes it easy but I would try another way next time.

Process was easy but value for the cards was a bit misleading. I received about half of the amount I expected from my 3k card lot selling it in bulk. In hindsight I should have sold my valuable cards separately and sent the others in. 5/10

It was easy to deal with but if you are getting rid of more expensive cards they are better to sell individually, it's a little bit more work but worth it overall this service is much better for bulk and stuff like that.

The process was easy and straight forward. It was unfortunate to only receive $200 for at least $500 worth of cards, but it's better than having to deal with the hassle of finding buyers for each card.

Process was easy. Only bad thing was getting the review of my cards and I think there was a decent amount graded lower than what they actually which means I probably got a decent amount less than I should have.

The value felt fine compared to what I expected. I mostly appreciated the rate at which the transaction was processed, the transparency throughout, and the analysis provided upon completion. I also appreciated that they sent me a picture of my shipment when it was received, which showed that the postal service had not treated my package properly. Overall the service was great. Be warned though, they do not pay anything for damaged cards, so even you have a $40 card (lowest price lp) but they consider it damaged (based on certain criteria, but likely still playable), they will not give you anything for it.
