As a fellow collector, you know that vintage magic comes with character, history—and the occasional quirk. We do our very best to represent every piece honestly and accurately, just as we’d hope others would do for us.

Your Satisfaction is Our Top Priority

Our Magic Word

  • Every item at The Magic Collector is personally selected, carefully packed, and thoughtfully shipped. Our small size means we give personal attention to each customer and every piece. With a limited, curated inventory, we focus on quality, authenticity, and making sure every treasure finds the hands of a caring collector.

  • We make every effort to provide accurate descriptions and photos of each item, including any noticeable wear, flaws, or missing parts. If you have questions about an item’s condition, history, or functionality, we invite you to connect via email or phone.

  • While items are sold as is, we stand behind the authenticity of all the collectibles we sell. Every piece is carefully sourced and verified for its place in magic history. Collect with confidence: If any items is proven to be inauthentic we’ll provide a full refund and cover the cost of return shipping.

  • Due to the rare, vintage, and one-of-a-kind nature of the items we offer, all sales are final, and products are sold in “as is” condition. Each piece has its own history, charm, and imperfections that make it special. See below for more details on our return policy.

  • Instructions are only provided when specifically noted in the description. When provided we indicate if they are original or reproduced. We’re also happy to help explain the operation of any item we sell.

  • We want you to feel confident in your purchase. Please don’t hesitate to ask questions or request additional photos before making a decision.

    We’re also always happy to discuss the pricing of any piece. Have a question about how we arrived at a particular number? Just ask. Transparency matters to us, and we believe great collecting relationships are built on trust, not guesswork.

  • Your satisfaction is our top priority. If you have any questions or need assistance with an order, please don’t hesitate to contact us via email or phone.

  • We choose each piece because it speaks to us, and we take joy in placing it with the right collector. If the day comes when you’re ready to part with your treasure, let us know—we may be delighted to buy it back and help it find its next chapter with another appreciative collector.

Before You Buy:

Condition Terminology:

We use the following terminology in our descriptions. Here’s what each means:

  • Like new; no visible flaws. Item appears unused and may still include original packaging and instructions.

  • Minimal wear from age or light use. Clean, complete, and well-preserved with no significant flaws.

  • Light to moderate wear consistent with age. May have small scuffs, fading, or surface marks, but still displays well.

  • Noticeable wear or aging. May include minor chips, scratches, or repairs, but item is still functional and presentable.

  • Heavily worn with significant damage or loss (e.g., missing parts, visible cracks). Often of interest for restoration or parts.

  • Extensive wear or damage. Not functional or only useful as a display piece, for study, or salvage. Often considered a “project.”

Returns:

We get it—buying magic online is a bit like picking a card sight unseen. Because most of our items involve closely guarded secrets, returns are only accepted if something doesn’t match the description on our site. If you believe an item isn’t as described, please reach out within 7 days of delivery, and we’ll make it right.

Refunds are issued for the item’s original price (excluding shipping), as long as it comes back to us in the same condition. Once we’ve reviewed it, your refund will be on its way.
