How to Sell Riftbound Cards for the Best Price
By RiftCompare · · Originally published on RiftCompare
Price each card by its exact printing and condition, then sell where buyers are: TCGplayer (US), Cardmarket (EU), eBay or a local store. Fees and tips.
The short answer: look up each card's live price by its exact printing and condition, then list it where Riftbound buyers in your country already shop — TCGplayer in the US, Cardmarket in Europe, eBay almost everywhere, or a local game store if you want it gone today. Price at or just under the cheapest comparable listing for a quick sale, and work out your take-home after fees and postage before you pick a platform.
Got a stack of Riftbound cards gathering dust — duplicates, cards from a deck you've moved on from, or pulls you don't need? Here's how to turn them into cash (or store credit) and get a fair price.
Where to sell Riftbound cards, by country
| Where you live | Best reach | Also worth trying |
|---|---|---|
| United States | TCGplayer | eBay, local game stores |
| Europe | Cardmarket | eBay, local game stores |
| United Kingdom | eBay UK | Local game stores, trading groups |
| Australia and New Zealand | eBay AU | Local game stores, Facebook and Discord trading groups |
| Canada | eBay CA | Local game stores, trading groups |
| Singapore | Carousell and local stores | Facebook and Discord trading groups |
Marketplaces take a commission and a payment fee, so the same sale nets different amounts on each. Selling fees compared works out your take-home on each platform, and TCGplayer fees explained breaks TCGplayer's down fee by fee. A local store pays less than a marketplace sale but takes the whole pile at once, with no postage, no listing work and no returns to handle. Many stores also offer more in store credit than in cash.
Selling in Australia (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and the rest): TCGplayer and Cardmarket only take sellers from their own regions, so eBay AU is where most Australian singles change hands, alongside local game stores and state trading groups. Check what the same card sells for in Australian dollars on RiftCompare Australia before you price it, because US prices converted to AUD are not what Australian buyers pay.
1. Price your cards accurately first
Before you list anything, find out what your cards are actually worth today. Look each one up on the card database to see its live price across every store we track. A few things to get right:
- The exact printing. Base, alt-art, Showcase, Signature, Overnumbered and promo versions all trade at very different prices. RiftCompare labels each printing in the card name so you can match yours precisely.
- Condition. Near Mint (NM) is the benchmark; lightly to heavily played copies sell for less. Be honest — it builds trust and avoids returns.
- Which cards are worth listing now. Check the price movers — if one of your cards is spiking this week, that's the one to list first.
2. Choose where to sell
- eBay and local stores. For high-value chase cards, a wider audience can help — just factor in fees and postage when you compare your net.
- Local trading groups and Discord communities. Lower fees than a marketplace, but you're on your own for buyer trust and shipping protection.
3. Set a competitive price
The cards that sell fastest are the ones priced at or just under the cheapest comparable listing. Open the card on RiftCompare, see the lowest current price, and pitch yours accordingly:
- Want a fast sale? Undercut the cheapest in-stock listing slightly.
- Not in a hurry? Price at market and wait — especially if the card is trending up.
- Selling a whole deck? Price it as a bundle with the deck pricer so buyers can see the value at a glance.
4. Ship smart and build a reputation
- Use a rigid mailer and a sleeve + top-loader so cards arrive in the condition you described.
- Post quickly and communicate — repeat buyers come from good experiences.
- Bundle small cards together so postage doesn't eat the value of a cheap sale.
