How We Price Our Cards
Every single on Realmender is priced from its TCGplayer market price. We sell at 95% of that price, and no card sells for less than $0.15. Here is how that works and why.
We sell under market
Most card shops sell their singles through a marketplace like TCGplayer, and the marketplace takes a cut of every sale. On TCGplayer that is a 10.75% commission, plus 2.5% and $0.30 for payment processing on each order.
When you buy here, there is no marketplace in the middle, so we skip the commission. We pass that saving on to you. A card with a $10.00 market price is $9.50 on Realmender.
Why no card is under $0.15
Plenty of cards have a market price of a few cents. Every card we sell gets the same work, whatever it is worth: we check its condition by hand, photograph the exact copy you will get, store it, and then pick and pack it when you order.
That work costs more than a few cents a card, so $0.15 is our lowest price. A common with an $0.08 market price is $0.15 here. Once a card's market price is above about $0.16, the normal 95% price applies.
Prices follow the market
Market prices move, and ours move with them. Each product page has a chart of the card's TCGplayer market price over time, so you can see where today's price sits.
