Buy policy: your default buy prices
The Policy tab is where your default buy price lives: what you pay, shop-wide, when customers sell cards to you. You set a percentage of the market price per condition under Default rates, and every card you have not priced some other way is bought at that rate. Per-game and per-set exceptions are made with the Buylist Wizard; single cards are priced on the Buy prices tab. Needs the Buylist feature.
The switch
Buy cards from customers is the master control — it puts "Sell to us" on the storefront. Off, and none of the rest applies.
Value limits
Guards applied to a card's market value. Leave any of them blank for no limit.
| Field | What it stops |
|---|---|
| No cash below | Cheap cards you'll only take for credit — stops you handing out coins for bulk. |
| No cash above | Caps your cash exposure on a single expensive card. |
| Don't buy below (credit) | A floor under which you won't take a card at all. |
| Default stock target | How many of a card you're willing to hold before you stop wanting more. |
The rate ladder
One row per condition (NM down to PO). For each you set:
- Buy? — untick a condition and you simply don't buy it.
- Cash % — the percentage of market you pay in cash.
- Credit % — the percentage you pay in store credit. Normally higher than cash, because credit comes back to you.
Worked example: a card with a £10 market price, NM at 40% cash / 55% credit, pays £4.00 cash or £5.50 credit.
Where you pay something different
This panel lists the games and sets that have rates of their own and ignore the defaults above. Until you make one it says so.
You don't create an override here. Open the game or set on Buy prices and use ⚙ Change rates — it starts from these defaults, so an override is a copy you then edit rather than a blank form. That is also the only place per-language rates can be set.
Each row names the scope, tagged Game or Set, and the name is a link straight back to its rates. Remove deletes the override and those cards fall back to whatever is above them — no card is left unpriced by it.
Which rate wins
Most specific first: a set override beats a game override, which beats the default — decided per condition. So you can override just NM for one set and let everything else fall through.
Rates for a rarity come before all three. Set on Buy prices with a rarity chosen, they win for every card of that rarity, even in a set that has rates of its own.
Cards you have priced individually
A price written onto a card beats every rate above. Those cards are listed at the bottom of this screen, grouped by the set they are in — which is how the Buylist Wizard writes them, a set at a time.
Remove forgets the whole group in one go and those cards go back to following your rates. It is the counterpart of removing an override: made in one go, undone in one go, rather than clearing three hundred cards one row at a time.
Languages
Rates can differ per language too, set under ⚙ Change rates on the Buy prices screen rather than here. What a foreign card is worth — the share of the English price it sells and buys at — lives on Catalogue ▸ Buy & sell config.
