Pricing rules
Set buy rates as a percentage of TCGplayer or Cardmarket market data. Different rates per rarity, condition, and catalogue.
Automated buylist
Automated buylist software for card shops
Manually quoting buylist prices turns trade-ins into staff-hour sinks. TCG Sync's automated buylist applies your pricing rules to every submission — per rarity, per condition, per catalogue — and handles the store credit once a trade-in is approved.

- Cash rates and credit rates configured separately
- Store credit added for you once a trade-in is approved
- Live market-data repricing of buylist rates

How it works
Your buylist pricing strategy, applied automatically
You set the rules: how much of market to pay, how conditions affect the rate, which rarities to accept. The buylist engine does the rest — across every submission, every day.
Cash vs credit separate
Pay different rates for cash payouts vs store credit. Credit typically pays 20-30% more than cash.
Credit issued for you
Once a submission is approved, TCG Sync adds the store credit in Shopify and to the customer's balance.
Market-data repricing
Buylist rates auto-update against market data. You never overpay on a card that tanked overnight.
Staff approval or auto-accept
Review every submission, or set auto-accept thresholds for low-value or bulk submissions.
Bulk submission tools
Customers paste decklists, import from MTGGoldfish, or upload CSVs. No one-card-at-a-time tedium.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Can I set different buy rates for different rarities?
- Yes. Rule cards per rarity, per condition, per catalogue are first-class. Pay 40% of market for commons, 70% for rares, 85% for mythics — your call.
- Does the buylist auto-update with the market?
- Yes. Buylist rates reprice daily (or hourly) against your chosen market-data source — same as retail autopricing.
- Can customers sell at the till as well as online?
- Yes. Buylist is native at the counter with the same condition grading and payout flow.
- Do I need staff to approve every submission?
- No. Set auto-accept thresholds (e.g. submissions under $50 auto-accept if all conditions match) and staff only reviews flagged cases.
Packages
Run your buylist on rules, not staff hours
