Terms

CrapTCG does two things. It looks up prices for trading cards of very low value, and it auctions graded low-value cards, settled in $CRAP. It is not a shop, not a broker, not a grading company, and not an investment scheme.

You must be old enough to form a binding contract where you live, and at least 18, to bid, to receive a physical item, or to hold any token associated with this project. Items are posted only where the operator can lawfully post them. Some destinations will be declined and no reason need be given.

Price lookups are free and need no account. They are provided for interest, are rate-limited, and may be withdrawn or capped at any time — the underlying data is metered and paid for. Do not scrape this site; the sources it uses have their own public terms and you can go to them directly.

Auctions are settled in $CRAP. Placing a bid is an offer to buy at that amount and, if you are the high bidder when the lot closes, it is binding on you. Lots are described honestly but sold as-is, as-available, with no warranty of condition, authenticity, grade, or value, and with no reserve unless the lot says otherwise. Title and risk pass on despatch. Any duty, tax, or customs charge at your end is yours. The operator may cancel a lot, void a bid, or refuse a bidder where there is an obvious error, a technical failure, or evidence of manipulation.

$CRAP received in an auction is split: 50% is burned on chain and 50% is added to liquidity. Neither share is taken by the operator as income. Both are on-chain transactions and can be checked by anyone. This is a statement of current practice rather than a guarantee for all time; if it changes, it changes on this page and on the front page together.

You can donate cards to the vault. Once a card is sent it belongs to the project and will not be returned, so send only what you are content to part with. Post is lost and parcels are damaged; the project cannot insure or replace anything in transit. Given the entry rule is a value under $25, this should not be a hard test — but do not send anything of sentimental value.

Prices are obtained from public third-party sources, may be delayed, incomplete, or simply wrong, and describe past or listed transactions rather than what anybody will pay you. Nothing here is an appraisal, a valuation, or advice on whether to buy or sell. Do not price your own transaction off this site without checking a source you trust, and do not present anything from here to a buyer or an insurer as an assessment.

CrapTCG grades nothing and authenticates nothing. Where grading is mentioned it is carried out by an independent third-party company paid as an ordinary customer, which decides its own outcomes, may find a card altered or counterfeit, may decline to encapsulate it, and sets its own turnaround. No grade, outcome, or timescale is ever promised.

The project's own name, writing, layout and photographs belong to the operator. Trading card games, card names, set names, artwork and logos belong to their publishers and rightsholders, who have nothing to do with this project and have licensed nothing to it. Card names and prices appear as factual reference data. If you are a rightsholder and something here troubles you, get in touch and it will be looked at promptly and in good faith.

Do not bid without intending to pay. Do not run multiple accounts to move a price. Do not submit photographs you did not take or cards you do not own. Do not post other people's personal information. Accounts doing any of these are removed and their bids voided.

The site and the project are provided as-is, without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent the law allows. The operator is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including any loss arising from reliance on a price shown here, and total liability for anything connected to this project is limited to the greater of what you actually paid the operator directly or one hundred US dollars. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

These terms can change, and material changes will be marked by the date at the top of this page. The project can be paused or stopped at any time. If it stops, it stops — except that any auction already won and paid for will be fulfilled, or the payment returned.
