Used Pokemon toys and games typically sell for $4 to $545 (about £3 to £405) depending on the item and its condition. Toys sell on completeness above everything else. A set missing pieces is a different product from a complete one, and parents buying used have learned to ask. Counting the pieces and saying the number plainly is the single most useful thing a seller can do.

Ages, sets and completeness on Pokemon toys and games
Pokemon trading cards are identified by a set symbol, a card number and a rarity mark printed on the card itself, and the same artwork exists across several sets at very different values. Those three marks, photographed clearly, are what a buyer prices against.
- Trading cards are the whole of the value here and are described by set, number and the condition of the corners and edges
- Soft toys and figures sell steadily at low prices and do better bundled by character than listed one by one
- Board games and boxed play sets move on completeness, since a missing component makes the game unplayable
What to check before you buy
Photograph the front and back of any card of consequence, square on, in daylight and out of any sleeve, showing the set symbol and the number. Describe centring, edges and surface plainly: condition here is a description you are giving, not a rating anyone has issued.
For the checks that apply to any used toys and games regardless of the maker, see the guide to buying used toys and games.
What you keep when you sell
On a typical $274 Pokemon item, a marketplace charging 20% takes $55, one charging 13.6% takes $37 and one charging 10% takes $27. WishThrift charges neither side, so you keep the whole $274.
Listing your Pokemon toys and games
- Photograph the pieces laid out, the box, the instructions and any damage. Then give the piece count in the title
- Wash and dry everything before photographing. Toys photograph badly when grubby and parents notice immediately

Questions
How should I describe the condition of a trading card?
In your own words, covering centring, corners, edges and surface, with photographs of both sides. Some sellers refer to third-party grading companies, but unless a card has actually been graded and slabbed by one of those companies, describe it plainly rather than borrowing their vocabulary.
What makes two identical-looking cards different in value?
The set they came from and the rarity mark, both printed in small type at the bottom of the card. The same artwork is reprinted across sets, sometimes many times, at wildly different values. Photograph that corner of the card and let the buyer read it.
How much is used Pokemon toys and games worth?
Roughly $4 to $545 depending on the item and its condition. The table above breaks it down piece by piece, and each row links to a full value guide for that item.
