Two routes to market

How consignment works, and which route suits your card

Everything we sell goes through the Lake Card Store eBay account, either in one of our two monthly ten day auctions or at a Buy It Now price you set. Both pay the same percentages. The difference is speed against control.

The two routes, side by side

10 Day AuctionsTwice a month

Let the room decide what it is worth

We run two ten day auctions every month, one in the middle of the month and one at the end. Items of all values can be included in either auction.

Reasons to use this service

You want a fast, scheduled sale that is finished in ten days
The card is wanted right now, a chase card, a hot set or a fresh grade
Comps are unclear and bidding will find the real number

Best for chase cards, hyped cards, newly graded cards and rare items without clear comps. Read how the auctions run.

Buy It NowThree months

Sealed 1st Edition Team Rocket booster pack

Name your price and wait

Listed in our eBay store for up to three months at a price you set yourself. If nobody takes it, relist it for another three months, move it into an auction, or have it back.

Reasons to use this service

You would rather hold a price than gamble on a bidding war
Recent comps are clear and you want to aim at them
You can wait for the one collector who wants exactly this

Best for low pop slabs, niche promos, sealed product and higher end cards with solid comp history. Read how Buy It Now works.
