Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! cards on Vinted: how it works and how to tell if the price is fair
Vinted started with second-hand clothes, but today it is one of the places where most private users sell trading cards: singles, lots, whole collections. Prices are set by the seller and can be far below or far above the real value. That is what Amber Road is for: it tells you what a card is worth before you make an offer.

How Vinted works for cards
The seller lists the item for free, with photos and a price, and pays no commission on the sale. The buyer uses the “Buy” button and pays by card or with the Vinted balance: shipping and a Vinted fee are added to the price and shown before paying.
The seller ships with a prepaid label within a few days and gets the money when the buyer confirms everything is fine.
Refunds: what Vinted provides
For purchases made with the “Buy” button, Vinted provides a refund if the item does not arrive, is damaged in transit or is very different from the description. The problem has to be reported within two days of delivery: after that the sale is considered complete.
So when a card arrives, open the parcel at once and check it: whether it is the one in the listing, its condition, whether it is genuine. Amber Road's guide on fake cards lists the checks.
What to watch out for
On Vinted sellers are mostly private users who are not card experts: descriptions are often brief, condition is judged by eye and lots rarely list their cards. That is why there are good deals, but also overpriced cards, reprints taken for first editions, and fakes.
Look closely at the photos, ask for front and back of the most expensive cards and always compare the price with the market value of the exact print: same number, same language, same condition.
How Amber Road is different
Amber Road does not sell cards and handles no payments. For every Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! card it shows the market value in euro, worked out from completed sales on the specialised markets, the price history and the differences between editions, languages and conditions.
On Amber Road you also find Trades between collectors, free: you choose the card you give and the one you want, and the site guides you through to shipping.
How to use them together
Before making an offer on Vinted, search the card on Amber Road: in a few seconds you know whether the asking price is a bargain, in line or too high. For a lot, check the two or three most important cards: they usually decide whether the price makes sense.
