How to send us your want list
Tick the cards you are missing, send the list to retroallover on eBay, and get back photos and a price before you decide anything.
Most of what we sell is not listed on eBay. Around 4,000 cards are up at any time; more than 10,000 sit unlisted in binders in Gothenburg. The want list is how you reach those. Here is the whole process, from ticking a card to the envelope arriving.
On the site
1. Tick the cards you want. Open any series page and tick the box in front of each card you are missing. No account, no sign-up. The list is saved in your own browser and nowhere else. You can tick cards from as many sets as you like.
2. Open your want list. The want list page shows everything you have ticked, set by set. Cards we have listed right now show a price and a Buy button, so those you can buy on eBay straight away.
3. Send the rest to retroallover. Press Copy list. The site formats it for you: one line per set with the card numbers, and a total at the bottom.
1957 S Set - 14, 88, 199
1962 Serie N - 3, 41
Total: 5 cards
Then press Open retroallover on eBay, sign in to eBay, press Contact on our profile and paste the list into the message. That is all you need to write. If your list is very long the page warns you, because an eBay message holds about 2,000 characters; split it into two messages if so.
What happens next
We check the binders. We go through your list against the unlisted stock and reply with what we have.
You get photos and a price. The reply includes a photo of every card we found, so you can judge condition yourself, and a suggested price for the lot.
You decide. Take the whole lot, part of it, or none of it. If you go ahead, the purchase goes through eBay like any other order.
Shipping
Two options, worldwide:
- $5.95 standard envelope
- $13.95 tracked
Cards ship from Gothenburg, Sweden. Most orders go to the US.
Who you are dealing with
retroallover has sold over 3,300 items on eBay with 100% positive feedback. Every card we send is an original from the 1950s to 1980s, never a reprint. If you want to look before you write, the retroallover shop on eBay shows what is listed right now.
Start on the series index, pick a set, and tick away.
