Trading with ABUgames?

I plan to do a trade in with an online retailer to get store credit and buy into a modern deck. I looked around and ABUgames seems to have the best trade in value. I plan to mail the cards in for the store credit, but I have a few questions.

Has anyone done business with them through the mail? Did you have a good experience with them?

What exactly is the process from my end? Do I send my trade cards and they give credit to my account or do I also send in a buying request for the exchange?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

I have also used ABU a large number of times and i have had nothing but great experiences with them.

I got a time vault this way. It was very smooth. I did a purchase at the same time I did the buylist. When they got my cards they emailed me. Two cards didn't match the condition I'd listed. One of those was inked and I had not noticed, the other was white bordered and they judged it harsher than I... I asked them to send me those two back because I felt I could trade them at full or close to full value. They had no problem with this and I felt they were very easy to work with. Everything was resolved in one evening through email and my cards arrived promptly.

FWIW, I had good experiences buying online from them a few years ago.

I have used ABUGames many times and have always come away with a positive experience (hence the repeated use.)

Your process:

  1. Enter your Buylist order. (everything you are trading in)

  2. Make an accompanying Purchase order. (Everything you want - shipping options will be included)

  3. Mail cards securely. I include the purchase order as well.

  4. They are excellent at communication. They will let you know when they have received the cards, verified the order and sent the cards to you.

  5. Receive the cards. They are usually very prompt

  6. Rinse and repeat. At this point they are my go-to buylist

ABU is an excellent business. Regarding your specific questions, you sell cards to them on their buylist page, choosing either to take cash or credit (which gives you a bonus). You then mail your cards in, they verify the condition of your cards, and they process your payment. If store credit it should be available as soon as they process it, if a check it will take about a week or so to get to you. I don't recommend PayPal if that is an option as PayPal takes a percentage.

They will cancel orders if there's a major price change.
