All help topics

  1. On the Deal tab, tap Buy.
  2. Scan or search the customer’s cards. Tap a card’s condition (like NM) to set its condition and copies.
  3. Each card is priced at your cash buy rate (a % of market). Tap − or + to adjust this deal.
  4. Pick how you pay them in Settle up, then tap Finalize. The cards go into your inventory.

Where the numbers come from

  • Your rates are in Settings → Pricing → Buy, sell and trade rates.
  • With Price tiers on, a card’s value picks the rate: more for big cards, a flat price for bulk.
  • Condition values are used only when there’s no market price for that condition.
  • A price you type on a card always wins.

Tip. What you pay becomes each card’s cost, so your profit is right when you sell it.
