If you’re thinking about selling your used Tarot and Oracle decks, you might be wondering, “How much is my tarot deck worth?” Maybe you spent $100 on a beautiful indie deck and received a resale offer of just $35. Maybe a mass-market deck you thought was valuable wasn’t accepted at all.

We get it—and we’re here to explain the why with care, clarity, and compassion.

Let’s take a gentle, transparent walk through our tarot deck pricing process so you can make empowered decisions about your collection.

💬 First, a Loving Reminder: It’s Nothing Personal

The price we offer isn’t a reflection of your taste, your spiritual path, or your connection with a deck. It’s simply a business decision based on math, market demand, and the cost of resale.

We honor the energetic and emotional ties you may have to your collection—and we treat every seller with respect.

🧾 So, What Goes Into Pricing a Tarot Deck for Resale?

When we evaluate a tarot deck for resale, we consider:

Recent sale prices – first from our own records, then platforms like eBay, Etsy, or the creator’s website
Condition and completeness – decks missing boxes or guidebooks are often significantly devalued
Print type – is it mass-market or indie?
Rarity and demand – how many people are actively looking for this deck?

This process allows us to price decks in a way that is fair, sustainable, and aligned with the current market.

💵 What Kind of Offer Can You Expect?

If your deck is mass market, in good condition, and still in print, we usually offer a flat rate of $6.00—but only if it currently sells for $20 or more. Decks available new for $12 on Amazon generally aren’t eligible.

If your deck is indie or out of print, we typically offer 50–60% of the current resale price, after accounting for shipping, payment processing, and platform fees.

Please know that we always evaluate decks on an individual basis.

🔮 Yes, Sometimes Decks Increase in Value

There are rare occasions when a deck becomes more valuable than its original retail price—usually due to high demand, limited print runs, or creator-driven scarcity.

A perfect example? The Bonestone and Earthflesh Tarot. Originally sold for $80, the market soared after a long delay and limited release. We’ve seen it resell for $500–$700 in excellent condition.

🧠 Why Your Offer Might Be Lower Than Expected

Most sellers are surprised to learn they’re being offered a wholesale price, not a retail or collector price. That’s because we’re operating a resale business that includes:

Fees (Etsy, Stripe, PayPal, etc.)
Shipping and packing costs
Labor, handling, and listing time
The risk of holding inventory that might not sell

We also price decks so that the next person can buy it at a fair market value and feel good about the purchase. This balance is what makes the resale cycle work.

🚫 Common Misconceptions About Tarot Deck Resale

“Out of Print means high value!”
Not always. Some OOP decks don’t have ongoing demand or are expected to be reprinted.
“It’s sealed, so it must be worth what I paid.”
That’s often true for indie decks. But for mass-market titles, sealed or not, if they’re still easily available new, the resale value is lower.

✨ Final Thoughts

When we are working together for pricing your collection, lets remember:

Market value can shift
Offers are based on math, not feelings
We’re here to make the process smooth, fair, and respectful as possible

If you’d prefer to list and sell your decks yourself, you may get closer to retail value when you sell to another collector—but if you’re looking for an efficient and trusted resale process, we’re honored to help.

❓ FAQ: Selling Used Tarot Decks
