Sell to Moonlight Collectibles – Purchase & Appraisal Policy
Sell to Moonlight Collectibles Policy
Purchase, appraisal, verification, payment, shipping, return, and unclaimed-merchandise terms.
1. Scope and Items We May Review
This policy applies to merchandise submitted for possible purchase by Moonlight SLS Corp. dba Moonlight Collectibles. We may review trading cards, sports cards, graded cards, sealed trading card products, collectibles, memorabilia, toys, games, comics, accessories, and other hobby-related merchandise.
Moonlight Collectibles may decline any item, category, collection, or transaction at its discretion based on condition, authenticity or ownership concerns, demand, liquidity, inventory levels, resale restrictions, processing requirements, available capital, or other legitimate business considerations.
2. Market Value and Standard Offer Range
Market value is determined using confirmed comparable sold listings and other reliable completed-sale data reasonably available at the time of review. Active asking prices, unsold listings, speculative prices, unverifiable private sales, and isolated sales that do not reasonably represent the market do not establish market value.
For items approved under Moonlight Collectibles’ standard purchase program, Moonlight Collectibles may offer any percentage within a 70%–85% range of the confirmed current sold-comp market value. The percentage may be 70%, 71%, 73%, 79%, 82%, 85%, or any other percentage within that range. No specific percentage is guaranteed.
The final percentage and dollar offer depend on the collection, product type, demand, quantity, condition, authenticity, completeness, liquidity, recent sales history, expected selling time, platform and payment costs, processing requirements, inventory exposure, and all other applicable determinations.
3. Bulk, Liquidation, and Separately Valued Merchandise
Bulk cards or merchandise, large quantities of duplicates, low-demand or low-liquidity items, damaged or incomplete products, mixed unsorted collections, and merchandise requiring extensive sorting, research, cleaning, preparation, or disposal may be excluded from the standard 70%–85% offer program.
Such merchandise may be declined or valued separately under a disclosed bulk, lot, liquidation, or as-is offer. Moonlight Collectibles will identify any separately valued portion in or before the final written offer so the seller can accept or reject the complete proposed transaction with knowledge of that separate valuation.
4. Preliminary Estimates and Final Inspection
Photographs, lists, messages, online submissions, verbal discussions, and remote reviews may be used only to provide preliminary guidance. Preliminary estimates are not binding offers and are subject to physical inspection, verification, and current market conditions.
Moonlight Collectibles may revise or withdraw an estimate if an item differs from the information supplied, has undisclosed damage or alteration, is incomplete, cannot be authenticated, shows evidence of tampering or resealing, or if material market information changes before the final written offer is issued.
5. Seller Eligibility, Identity, and Authority
- The seller must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering the transaction.
- The seller must be the lawful owner of the merchandise or have documented legal authority from the lawful owner to sell it.
- A valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID and additional verification may be required.
- Moonlight Collectibles may refuse a transaction if the seller’s identity, ownership, authority, or submitted information cannot be reasonably verified.
- The seller must complete all required forms before Moonlight Collectibles completes the purchase or releases payment.
6. Mandatory Seller Authenticity, Ownership, and Lawful Possession Declaration
Every seller must complete and sign Moonlight Collectibles’ Seller Authenticity, Ownership, and Lawful Possession Declaration covering all merchandise included in the proposed transaction. The declaration must identify the seller and the merchandise or an attached inventory list and must include the seller’s handwritten signature or a valid electronic signature and the date signed.
By signing, the seller certifies and represents that:
- The seller lawfully owns the merchandise or has documented legal authority from the lawful owner to sell it.
- The merchandise is not stolen, fraudulently obtained, unlawfully possessed, pledged, subject to a lien, or subject to an unresolved ownership or third-party claim.
- Every item represented as official or authentic is a genuine original product and is not a counterfeit, proxy, replica, reproduction, unauthorized copy, altered substitute, or imitation.
- Sealed merchandise has not been resealed, searched, tampered with, reconstructed, or materially altered unless fully disclosed in writing before review.
- All material information supplied about origin, ownership, authenticity, condition, completeness, alterations, grading, and prior damage is accurate to the seller’s knowledge.
- Moonlight Collectibles may refuse or suspend the transaction, withhold or stop payment where legally permitted, preserve relevant evidence, and report suspected stolen, counterfeit, fraudulent, or otherwise unlawful merchandise to appropriate authorities or rights holders.
An unsigned or incomplete declaration is not valid. Moonlight Collectibles will not complete a purchase or release payment until the required declaration and verification are completed.
7. Appraisal, Inspection, and Exceptional Service Fees
There is no fee for an ordinary initial purchase review. If a submission requires exceptional research, authentication, extensive sorting, inventory preparation, third-party services, or other substantial work outside an ordinary review, Moonlight Collectibles will disclose the proposed service and fee in writing before that paid work begins. No exceptional service fee will be charged without the seller’s prior written approval.
8. In-Person and Shipped Submissions
In-person submissions are accepted during posted business hours or as otherwise arranged. Sellers should not ship merchandise until Moonlight Collectibles provides written submission instructions or authorization.
The seller is responsible for inbound shipping, secure packaging, tracking, declared value, and adequate insurance. Risk of loss remains with the seller until the shipment is confirmed delivered to Moonlight Collectibles. Moonlight Collectibles is not responsible for carrier delay, misdelivery, loss, theft, or transit damage occurring before confirmed delivery.
The seller should retain photographs, shipment records, tracking information, insurance documents, and an itemized inventory of all submitted merchandise.
9. Review Timeline
Moonlight Collectibles generally completes a review within seven business days after receiving all merchandise and required information. Large, complex, high-value, authentication-sensitive, or unusually mixed submissions may require additional time. Any stated completion date is an estimate unless Moonlight Collectibles expressly guarantees it in writing.
10. Final Written Offer and 72-Hour Response Requirement
Any final purchase offer will be issued in writing, ordinarily by email, and may contain itemized, grouped, bulk, or lot-based valuations. Unless the offer expressly provides a different deadline, the seller must affirmatively accept or reject it within 72 hours (three calendar days) from the timestamp shown on the offer email.
The offer expires automatically when that period ends. Silence does not constitute acceptance, and ownership does not transfer to Moonlight Collectibles merely because merchandise was submitted, inspected, or remained in Moonlight Collectibles’ possession.
Moonlight Collectibles may issue a new or revised offer after expiration, but is not required to honor the expired offer or its prior valuation.
11. Acceptance, Final Agreement, and Payment
Acceptance must be communicated using the method specified in the written offer. Moonlight Collectibles may require a signed purchase record, bill of sale, inventory schedule, policy acknowledgment, tax document, or other transaction document before payment.
After timely written acceptance, completion of all required documents, and final verification, Moonlight Collectibles will issue payment using an approved method stated in the offer. Available methods may include cash, Zelle, business check, or store credit, depending on the transaction.
Payment timing and method may vary based on the transaction amount, verification requirements, banking availability, fraud-prevention review, and applicable law. Store credit, if offered, has no cash value beyond the agreed transaction and is governed by the terms stated in the final offer.
12. Rejected Offers and Return of Merchandise
If the seller rejects the offer, the seller must, within the same 72-hour response period, either arrange and complete an approved pickup or provide a prepaid, trackable, and adequately insured return-shipping label acceptable to Moonlight Collectibles.
The seller is responsible for all return shipping, packaging requested for return, insurance, carrier, address-correction, signature, and related charges. Moonlight Collectibles will not return merchandise at its own expense. Moonlight Collectibles is not responsible for carrier loss, delay, theft, or damage after properly tendering a return shipment to the carrier using the seller-provided label, except to the extent responsibility cannot legally be disclaimed.
13. Unclaimed Merchandise and Final Seven-Day Notice
If the seller does not respond within 72 hours, fails to complete an arranged pickup, or fails to provide an acceptable prepaid return label, the merchandise will be classified as unclaimed pending final notice. Moonlight Collectibles will send a final written notice to the seller’s most recently provided email address and may also use another available contact method.
The seller will then have seven calendar days from the timestamp of the final written notice to complete pickup or provide an acceptable prepaid, trackable, and adequately insured return label. Together with the initial 72-hour period, this produces a maximum ordinary holding period of approximately 10 calendar days following the original offer email.
If the seller takes no required action before the final deadline, the merchandise may be treated as abandoned only to the fullest extent permitted by the seller’s signed agreement and applicable law. Moonlight Collectibles may then sell, donate, recycle, discard, or otherwise lawfully dispose of it and may deduct legally permitted shipping, storage, processing, or disposition costs. Any property or proceeds that applicable law requires to be retained, reported, transferred, or remitted will be handled as legally required. Moonlight Collectibles is not required to store unclaimed merchandise indefinitely.
14. Suspected Stolen, Counterfeit, Proxy, or Unlawful Merchandise
Moonlight Collectibles does not knowingly purchase stolen, counterfeit, fraudulent, unlawfully possessed, or unauthorized merchandise.
If Moonlight Collectibles reasonably suspects that merchandise is stolen, counterfeit, a proxy, replica, reproduction, unauthorized copy, resealed, fraudulently altered, or otherwise unlawful, Moonlight Collectibles may suspend the review, transaction, and payment; preserve the merchandise and relevant records as potential evidence; notify the seller; and report the matter to local law enforcement, the applicable rights holder, manufacturer, grading company, marketplace, or other appropriate authority.
The seller’s identification, contact information, signed declaration, submission details, communications, photographs, and transaction records may be provided when required or legally permitted. Suspected unlawful merchandise may be surrendered to, seized by, or retained at the direction of law enforcement or another legally authorized authority and will not be released or returned while a lawful investigation, evidence-preservation request, hold, or seizure remains in effect.
15. Offer Withdrawal, Refusal, and Transaction Cancellation
Before payment is released, Moonlight Collectibles may withdraw or revise an offer or refuse or cancel a transaction if material concerns arise regarding authenticity, ownership, seller identity, condition, completeness, fraud, compliance, pricing error, market information, or another legitimate transaction risk.
If the transaction is refused for reasons not involving a lawful hold, seizure, investigation, or evidence-preservation requirement, return or pickup will be handled under the applicable return provisions of this policy.
16. Seller Responsibility and Indemnification
The seller is responsible for the truth and completeness of all representations, declarations, and documents supplied to Moonlight Collectibles. To the extent permitted by law, the seller is responsible for losses, claims, chargebacks, costs, or liabilities resulting from the seller’s material misrepresentation, lack of lawful ownership or authority, fraud, or knowing submission of stolen, counterfeit, or unlawful merchandise.
Nothing in this policy waives rights or obligations that cannot lawfully be waived.
17. Privacy and Record Retention
Moonlight Collectibles may retain seller identification, declarations, transaction documents, communications, images, shipping records, and payment records for verification, accounting, tax, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, regulatory, and legal purposes. Personal information will be handled according to the Moonlight Collectibles Privacy Policy and applicable law.
18. Policy Acknowledgment and Updates
Before Moonlight Collectibles completes a purchase, the seller may be required to acknowledge this policy within the signed seller declaration, purchase record, bill of sale, or another written or valid electronic agreement. A website form submission alone is a request for review and does not by itself complete a sale or transfer ownership.
The policy version provided to the seller or published when Moonlight Collectibles authorizes the submission will govern that submission unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. Moonlight Collectibles may update this policy for future submissions.
19. Governing Law and Severability
This policy and transactions governed by it are subject to applicable federal law and the laws of the State of New York. If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be limited or removed only to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.
