What to look for

Sealed-only shops are retail. Singles are where a shop demonstrates it understands the market and where players and set collectors are served.

Current sets should be at or near normal retail. Heavy markups on in-print product usually mean the shop is pricing scarcity that is not there.

The rest is on the pokémon page, along with the questions worth asking before you hand over a collection.
