These prices haven't been affected by the market

Seeing a lot of OC and MC cards.

I did, too - not surprising. There are some wicked pieces on there that you don't see everyday

There sure are a lot of Hindu back offerings with the T206.

I am trying to figure this out...so the seller lists X for sale
and what does REA get? Is there a hammer added to the sale
price or is it already counted in on the price of the card for sale
by the owner?

I think the listed price is the price paid by the buyer. In the email I received today, it says they are still offering an introductory 5% flat rate for a limited time which I think is coming from the seller.

18 cards in one lot? Great card but that seems like a cool collection with limited buyers.

If anyone wants to break it up, I would buy ONE.

I contacted them today. If a card does not sell after a month and you want to get it back, there is a $5.00 fee plus shipping back to you or just the $5.00 if you pick it up. I am not sure if that is a $5.00 per month fee or a one time fee.
And as of right now, it is a 5% fee.

Pretty sure it’s just a shipping fee if you want your stuff back.

From my email:

Hi Robert,

Thank you for reaching out to REA regarding your potential Marketplace submission. I am the consignment coordinator with REA and yes you would be able to drop off cards for our Marketplace. A couple requirements for our Marketplace is that all items need to be graded/ authenticated, listed for a minimum of 30 days, and have a minimum value of $100. After 30 days if an item does not sell and you would like it back, it would be $5 per lot plus any shipping costs to receive it back. In your scenario, if you were to come pick them up, it would be just $5 since we would not be shipping it back. In terms of what price items are listed at, you would decide what your items listed at. The rate for our Marketplace is 5% for the rest of 2025, for example if you had an item listed at $1,000 and it sold you would net $950. If you have any other questions please let me know.

Best Regards,

Tyler Arnold

$5 is a one time fee

So basically they hold your cards hostage forever unless you pay them. No thanks

How does that equal hostage? Lol

How does it not, if you have to pay them to get your item back?

I agree. They should provide the scans, the write up, the marketplace, the pool of buyers, and the risk of sale for free.

Great to see you posting again. Welcome back.

Hi Bill, thank you for the kind message

[theshowandme]

My 12 cards have been up for about 24 hours

Sold one

Offers coming in for others

Cannot complain

[molenick]

I don't see details for listing on the website. They may be there but I can't find them.

From what I gather it is:

• free to list but must list for at least 30 days
• $5 plus postage per item if you want an item back after 30 days
• the price listed is the price that is paid by the buyer (no buyer's premium)
• offers can be made
• consignor gets 95% of the sale price
• some restrictions on what can be listed (must be graded, not unreasonably priced*, minimum price is $100).

* to be determined by REA and the consignor

Is that correct?

[tjisonline]

Dear REA reps

please add a option to filter out "sold" items and the ability to "watch" items.

[philliesfan]

molenick - You are correct. I could not find anything on the web site either. So I emailed them and got the response I got in post # 43 which confirms everything that you mentioned except the part about being reasonably priced. I did not see anything about that.
Bob

[molenick]

Thanks. I must have picked up the "reasonably priced" part from someone else's post...or maybe I just made it up.

Probably my post. And it’s probably less about being reasonably priced and more about not being grossly unreasonably priced. But you might argue there’s not a lot of daylight there.

I should also add that I’m pretty sure the 5% selling cost is promotional for 2025, and could rise in the future.

[theshowandme]

Another key detail I would like to point out

Before REA sent me my agreement to sign, I had to provide a spreadsheet of material and initial listing prices.

That spreadsheet was added to my agreement.

That spreadsheet determined level of insurance coverage on their end.

So, in a way REA is pre-screening material before they even offer you a consignor agreement.

I like this concept very much.

Not sure I follow what you mean by "insurance coverage on both ends" - particularly the "both" part. I read the agreement to suggest that REA has insurance coverage while they're holding our stuff. But not sure where the insurance coverage for the other end comes in.

Yeah, poorly worded on my end. Will adjust my statement

No worries!

Appreciate all your insights.
