Safe is a relative term.

Several reputable players on the forums here sell via eBay on occasion.
There have been some issues with fake tokens being sold online.

If you are looking for specific single tokens, or looking for assistance filling out a token build, I would suggest sending a message to one of the players on the forum here who has a token store up in the token store sub forum. maybe send a note to 2 or 3 of them to ask for assistance.

eBay might save you a small bit of money but MANY times you actually end up paying higher prices than what they sell for on the forums directly.

I buy and sell lots of tokens on eBay, I've never had a problem.

Some people sell sealed token 10-packs on eBay, or in web or forum stores (for example I do at:

discount-dungeon.com/collections/all-items/products/2017-factory-sealed-token-10-pack-pre-order-sale

When people sell sealed token 10-packs other than True Dungeon, there are a few things you have to be aware of:

1. The rare token in a 10 pack is visible through its packaging, so it's possible someone might pick over the tokens and give you less desirable rares.

2. Some people claim to be able to determine what token 10 packs have an Ultra Rare token in them (1% of them should have one) based on the look or feel of the packaging, and thus packs not from True Dungeon directly may have been mined for Ultra Rares.

Regardless of how honest a seller is it's basically impossible to prove #1 and #2 haven't happened (unless you are present when the shipment arrives and watch the box be opened I guess), so sealed token 10 packs normally sell at a discount to what they would cost from True Dungeon.

Yes


The thing to keep in mind when ordering from ebay is that, particularly for the rare and lower level tokens, better deals can often be had through this forum than at auction, especially if you are picking up at a convention rather than having them shipped to you.

I don't think that is always true. I have gotten some really good deals from ebay.

It really depends on what you are buying. I've received several deals on Ebay that was cheaper than the stores even with paying for shipping.

I guess I should have said

Do your research on a particular token's cost in the stores here before purchasing on ebay, as there are often better deals here than there.

I prefer to shop on the forum.

You can find some good deals on eBay auctions, if you're lucky.

My eBay "buy it now" and shipping prices are about 10% higher than my web store prices, because of the fees.

If you are playing on normal difficulty, it's perfectly possible to play with the 10 pack you get when you sign in for your run. A large percentage of pick up groups do just that. You can also buy tokens from TD at GenCon.

If you join a group through the forums, they will often have tokens to lend.


If you are like most of us, acquiring tokens will be come an obsession addiction serious hobby.
