WHY SELL TO DEADZONE

We built the process we wished existed when we were on the other side of the table.

📈
PUBLISHED PRICING

We show you the formula. Every item priced against eBay sold listings with source links. You see the exact math — not a mystery number pulled from thin air.

📝
BINDING AGREEMENT

We sign a contract before you ship anything. The agreed price is the paid price. No "re-evaluating" after we have your collection. That game is over.

🎥
VIDEO DOCUMENTED

You video your packing. We video our unboxing. Both recordings are timestamped and shared. There's nothing to dispute when everything is on camera.

PAID IN 24 HOURS

Once we accept, payment goes out within 24 hours via PayPal G&S, Zelle, or ACH. We absorb all fees. No waiting weeks. No "the check is in the mail."

🔒
NO HOSTAGE GUARANTEE

If we can't agree on pricing after inspection, your entire collection ships back to you at our expense. We never hold your items hostage. Ever.

🤝
COLLECTORS, NOT FLIPPERS

We've been in the game since 2015. We know what your collection is worth because we collect the same stuff. This isn't a side hustle — it's what we do.

THE PROCESS — 7 STEPS

Transparent from first contact to final payment. No shortcuts, no surprises.

1
SUBMIT YOUR COLLECTION

Fill out the form below with your name, collection size, and photos or a PPG/HobbyDB collection link. We acknowledge every submission within 24 hours.

2
DETAILED ITEMIZED QUOTE

Within 3-5 business days, you receive a full Collection Quote Document (PDF). Every item is listed with its eBay sold listing value, tier classification, and the offer percentage applied. Source links included so you can verify every number.

You see exactly how every dollar was calculated.
3
NEGOTIATE AND SIGN

Review the quote. Accept, counter-offer, or remove items you want to keep. Once we agree, both sides sign a binding Collection Purchase Agreement that locks in the price, items, payment method, and timeline.

The agreed price doesn't change after you ship.
4
VIDEO-DOCUMENTED PACKING

You record a continuous video showing each item as you pack it. This protects you from any "we didn't receive that" claims. We provide a packing guide and ship supplies for collections over $300.

5
INSURED SHIPPING

We send you prepaid, insured shipping labels for collections over $200. Full declared value insurance. UPS or FedEx with tracking and signature required. If anything happens in transit, we file the claim — not you.

6
INSPECTION AND VERIFICATION

We video-record unboxing and check every item against the agreement. Completed within 3 business days. If everything matches — and it almost always does — we move to payment immediately. Minor discrepancies get documented and sent to you with options.

If there's a dispute, your collection ships back at our expense. No hostages.
7
PAYMENT WITHIN 24 HOURS

Once accepted, payment is sent within 24 hours via your chosen method. PayPal Goods & Services (we pay the 3% fee), Zelle, ACH, or Escrow.com for collections over $5,000. You get a final receipt PDF documenting everything.

OUR PRICING — NO SECRETS

We publish the formula because we think you deserve to see the math.

OFFER PERCENTAGES BY TIER
Item Tier Value Range We Pay Based On
Grails $100+ per item 55-70% eBay sold listings (90 days)
Mid-Range $20-$99 per item 45-60% eBay sold listings (90 days)
Commons Under $20 30-45% Lot pricing / PPG reference
+5% Bulk Bonus (100+ items)
+3% Repeat Seller Bonus
+5% Pristine Condition Bonus

Why not 100%? The gap covers platform selling fees (10-15%), payment processing (3%), photography and listing labor, storage, market risk, and shipping to the end buyer. We show this math in every quote so you understand exactly where the margin goes.

COMMON QUESTIONS

From submission to payment: typically 10-14 days. Quote in 3-5 business days, agreement and shipping takes a few days, inspection within 3 business days of receipt, payment within 24 hours of acceptance.
No hard minimum. We've bought 5-piece grail collections and 500-piece shelves. If the value is there, we're interested. Collections under $100 total value may not be cost-effective after shipping — we'll be honest about that upfront.
Then don't sell. Seriously. We show you the math — if you can get more elsewhere, we'll tell you. No hard feelings, no pressure. We'd rather earn your trust for next time than push a bad deal today.
Minor condition discrepancies get documented with photos and sent to you with an adjusted offer. You can accept the adjustment, or we return the items at our expense. Major issues (counterfeits, significant undisclosed damage) are handled per the signed agreement. The video documentation from both sides prevents most disputes.
Yes, but OOB values are significantly lower (typically 20-40% of in-box value). We'll price them honestly and let you decide if it makes sense to sell.
Absolutely. Keep your grails, sell the rest. Or sell the grails and keep the commons. During Step 3, you can remove any items from the quote. The only thing we won't do is cherry-pick — we don't buy just the top 5 items and leave you with the rest.
