Introduction
If you’re reading this, you know Noble Knight Games already – a renowned retailer specializing in Buy-Sell-Trade.
From Magic cards to RPGs, miniatures to wargames, and comics to toys, Noble Knight Games deals with a kingdom-sized volume of new and used product, and treats its customers like royalty. I can say this for a fact, because this is my first article for Noble Knight, and I have been a customer of theirs for years. In fact, as I write this, my 47th order (yes, forty seventh!) is being processed by their Trades team. Suffice it to say, I would not undergo the process so many times without experiencing a professional, seamless, and rewarding trade process. Most of my orders have involved trading games because, like many board gamers, I have a collection that probably bordered on one thousand items at one point. Now, it’s ‘merely’ a simple 300 or so.
In this article, I’ll walk you through the straightforward and rewarding trade process at Noble Knight Games, showing you each step so you can confidently and efficiently trade with the best in the buy-sell-trade space.
- To Buy-Sell-Trade with Noble Knight
If you’re looking to buy-sell-trade your games, you should look no further than Noble Knight Games, as there are a lot of good reasons for bringing your trade to them:
- Wide Range of Acceptable Items: You can offer games, books, miniatures, dice, toys, and more. Reach out to trades@nobleknight.com to inquire.
- Sell Everything at Once: Ideal for large collections or estates. The convenience is extraordinary.
- Quick Response: Typically, you’ll hear back within two or three business days.
- Shipping Covered on Your Trade Items: Noble Knight will cover your shipping on all orders, in the 48 states. For customers in Alaska and Hawaii, or internationally, Noble Knight will offer an amount for your items and also a separate amount to help with shipping.
- Reliable Payment: You can be assured of getting paid, whether in store credit or via PayPal.
- Initiating the Trade Process
The next step is to provide a list of the items you wish to sell or trade, including all original parts and noting any missing components, writing, or excessive
wear. Email your list to trades@nobleknight.com or use the trade submission form on their website. For large collections, you can send the items directly to them for assessment.
- Receiving a Quote
Once you’ve sent your inquiry or spreadsheet ‘o games and stuff to them, your buy-sell-trade journey continues, as mentioned, within a short period of time (in my experience, just a few days, but this can differ depending on a variety of things). The Trades Team will provide a fair and accurate quote for you, and will detail both what they can offer you in cash (via a PayPal payment), or in store credit (which never expires and can be used on anything in stock at their brick-and-mortar store or on their website).
- Shipping Your Items
The response from the Trades Team on your buy-sell-trade journey will include further instructions. If you choose to accept the offer, you’ll need to provide your full name, shipping address, PayPal information, and other necessary details. They will provide these instructions in their offer response, should you choose to accept it.
4a. How Many Labels?
Determine how many labels you’ll need based on the number of boxes required – one label per box. You’ll need to provide your own boxes and packing material. Moving boxes are recommended for their durability and can be less expensive, depending on where you get them (I speak from experience). Print the labels on any printer and attach them to the boxes with tape.
If you’re outside the continental USA, additional shipping options are available. Alternatively, you can drop off your items in-store if you’re near Madison, Wisconsin. Keep a record of the FedEx tracking numbers for your boxes.
- Getting Paid!
The exclamation point is mandatory here because this is truly the exciting moment! Noble Knight Games will typically process your buy-sell-trade within one to two business days of arrival. In rare cases, processing can take up to a week due to high volume or large shipments, so keep that in mind. Once the process is complete, you will receive a confirmation email, and you can opt to receive your payment in cash or store credit.
I have, at times, been known to buy things from Noble Knight Games in my own buy-sell-trade journey with them (gasp, I know), and if your total is more than the shipping threshold, they will ship it for free to you (outside of the USA will require additional cost).
And a bit of advice from a long-time buy-sell-trade type person: if you happen to find something you REALLY want to get and are worried about it being snagged out from under you – which honestly has happened a handful of times to me – ask Noble Knight to hold the item for you pending your trade and they will be happy to do so, they’ve done it for me before!
