VENDR · in development
Binders, stickers and prices that went stale the day a set dropped.
Your inventory, priced live, in front of the buyer before they reach your table.
VENDR is a site under your own name for your shows and your stock, built on the fair values Forecast already computes from real sales.
The problem
A card show still runs on paper.
What you have, what it is worth and what you are asking for it live in three places, and the buyer has to ask.
The binder
Your stock is in a binder, a spreadsheet and your head. None of them agree by Sunday.
The sticker
Every time a price moves, a sticker on a sleeve has to be peeled off and written again.
The stale price
A set drops, a deck wins, a card spikes. The number on the sleeve is from last month.
The queue
A buy or a trade is arithmetic under time pressure while the next buyer waits.
The product
Three screens, from your table to the buyer's phone.
The vendor site, the live-priced inventory and the QR list, as we are designing them.
A design of the product with invented example data. No real vendor, buyer or price is shown, and none of these screens is live yet.

Live-priced inventory
Example inventory: fair value and your price for each card, with the date it was last priced.
How it works
Three steps, and the first two take a couple of minutes.
Sign up
Use your Hometown account, or make one. No second password.
Describe your business
Show seller, group, shop or online store, and the name buyers will see.
Your site and stock follow
As each part of VENDR is built, it is set up on the account you made. Nothing to manage until then.
What it does
One pricing engine, and what we are building on it.
Only the pricing engine runs today. Each card says where the rest stands.
Engine runs today on Forecast
Live pricing underneath
Forecast's fair value for every printing and condition, built from real sales. Connecting it to your stock is not built yet.
