History of PKTC:
We started out in the fall of 2015 as a new trading company centered around getting cards for a cheap and competitive price to the people. I (9999ben9) created the company because I saw an influx of prices being too high at other companies/sources for cards, and wanted to create a more fair and transparent process. PKTC started and became popular very quickly and reached 3rd largest company to ever be in the ptcgo community and arguably the most popular for a large amount of that time. We have strived to create a more simple and accurate price guide since the beginning, and have lead the charge in making ratios and trading more simple. From the very beginning, we kept in mind our goal, "to be not just a place to buy cards, but to be a place that our community can enjoy." We have accomplished all of this because of every single one of our customers along the way. As a result of months of thinking, I decided to change direction and move toward something that will be far more beneficial to the community. I have decided to keep true to our goals more then ever and make PKTC 100% community based. We believe now is the time we transition away from being a company and move towards being a community.
Goals of PKTC:
1. To provide an accurate price guide for the community.
2. To provide an area where players can trade with other players for a fair price.
3. To be not just a place to buy cards, but to be a place that our community can enjoy.
Our Purpose:
Everyone here loves the card game of Pokemon and wishes the best for the community above all else. We created this community because we wanted to create a place where a player could get everything they needed for the fairest price available. We try our hardest to find the best balance for fair values by searching on public and various other trading outlets for numerous hours each week to near 100% accuracy. We strive to serve this community by offering the best price guide possible for buying and selling cards at a fair price.
RULES:
(These rules are subject to change without notice.)
1. You must obey all rules .
2. This is an area to trade freely with others or just use as reference. Please post trade request below in an efficient and polite manner.
3. Please be patient. Sometimes people are not always checking or don't always have what you need immediately. We just ask for you to be patient and we hope that someone will help you out ASAP.
4. We (the founders/editors) are not personally responsible for trades that take place here. We will try to monitor what is going on to make sure people are not trying to abuse the system but there is a price guide here for a reason.
5. We ask that no self-advertisement happens here. This includes advertising for other trading companies or trading threads. We ask this because we do not want this to become a platform for selfishness but rather be a guide for fair trading in the community.
6. We advise not to trade with brand new accounts as this tactic is often used to trade for more copies of a card then necessary, or to beg for cards and claim they are "poor." While we hope the community will help out all new players, we also want to caution against the risks of people manipulating the trading community.
7. DON'T abuse this system. We are here for the community, so we would appreciate that all of you are as well. Please do not ask to trade for or receive items for an extremely off-base price. We of course encourage people to pay a little less or a little extra if they wish to finish a trade quicker or get a good deal, but we in no way encourage scam trades or for anyone to overpay by an outrageous amount. If this happens and we find a malicious intent, it could result in adding you to a blacklist (a list of traders who we do not encourage trading with).
To search for specific cards, type Control/Ctrl+F and then type the card you are looking for.
Be sure if you are looking for our sell value to not be in the trade-in section.
