Friday evening
Choose the boxes.
Move the boxes you take into your show boxes. Everything in them is off your online listings straight away, and everything else keeps selling online while you are out.
Closed beta
Card show
Price a whole show in minutes.
Pick the boxes you take and they stop selling online. Your Pricing Rules price every card from what real copies are listed for, the labels come off the printer in one run, and all that is left is sticking them on.
Two boxes go to a show
At the table, and nowhere else.
Cards in a show box sell at your table only. They come off your online listings the moment they go into the box, and go back on when the box comes home, so nobody online buys a card that is sitting in front of a visitor.
The evening before
What does it go for at a table?
Priced from real listings.
Show prices start from what copies are listed for on Cardmarket right now: the third cheapest Near Mint copy, read through the day for every card in your show boxes. Your own margin and rounding go on top, and a card with too few listings falls back to the market trend.
Thirty minutes with the label printer
A price label on every card.
Every card in a show box gets its own label: the name, set and number, printing and condition, and the price in large type so it reads from across the table. Cards without a price are listed for you to price first, so you never print a blank.
At the show
Saturday, a bulk box on the table
Bulk, picked from a phone.
Bring a bulk box and let visitors pick from it on their phone instead of digging through it. One printed code on your table opens the list, a visitor sends what they want with a name and a time to collect, and once you approve, those cards are held for them while they finish their round.
A card sells across the table
Sold here, gone everywhere.
Hand a card over and it comes out of stock everywhere it was listed. A reservation that is collected takes its cards out of stock the same way, and the cards nobody picked up go back on sale.
Sunday night
Boxes back on the shelf.
Move the boxes back and their cards are listed online again. Switch the card show off and your show page says no show is running, until the next one.
Before you ask
- Do visitors need an app?
- No. The code on your table opens a web page on their phone, with your show boxes in it.
- Do they pay online?
- No. They reserve, and pay you at the table the way they always have.
- Do I need a label printer?
- It helps on a busy night, and your standard A4 printer works too.
