What gets in the way
What game stores tell us.
Paying before you've sold a thing
What they say: “$100 to $200 a month, plus 2% here, 2.5% there, plus Shopify.”
What VENDR does: Inventory and the register are free. VENDR earns 1% on what you ring through it — so it only costs you when you're selling.
LiveA price feed you can't see into
What they say: “Prices update every 12 hours from somebody else's marketplace.”
What VENDR does: Fair value from completed sales, repriced through the day, every condition its own market — the same number your customers see on Tradewind.
LiveStaff paying the wrong percentage
What they say: “Who bought that binder, and at what rate?”
What VENDR does: Buy rules staff can't override, a review rule for the cards you never auto-buy, per-person permissions and an activity log.
LiveNobody knows what a single cost
What they say: “Our COGS on singles is a guess.”
What VENDR does: Every lot carries its cost — what you paid, or your buy rule when you didn't record it. Profit is real profit, down to the card.
LiveMoney stuck in the case
What they say: “That binder's been sitting since spring.”
What VENDR does: How long every unit has been held, aging buckets, slow and dead stock, and the money tied up in each.
LiveEvents, memberships and marketing in five other tools
What they say: “One app for tickets, one for points, one for email, one for schedules.”
What VENDR does: Events and tickets, memberships, marketing and staff time in the same platform — already running Home Town's own shop in Austin.
Coming 2027
Built behind a real counter
Made in a working card shop, not a pitch deck.
VENDR was built inside Home Town Cards & Collectibles in Austin, Texas — a game store and a card show. Its buy screen, its pricing and its books ran a real counter and real show floors before they were offered to anyone else.
- Store
- a counter, a case, buylists and trade nights
- Show
- card shows with vendor tables and a floor plan
- Team
- staff with their own permissions at the register
What you get
Everything at the table, in one app.
Live pricing
Fair value on every printing and condition from completed sales. New releases and movers repriced every three hours.
Inventory
Every lot costed, every unit timed in and out. Locations, routing rules and counts that match what's on the shelf. No item limit.
The register
Sell from stock at your sell rules — cash, card or trade — with a receipt and the profit on every sale.
Buying
Stack a binder and every card comes back at your buy rate, cash and trade. One press buys it and files each card where it belongs.
Insights and books
Sales, buys and profit for any period or show, expenses, how long stock sits, best sellers — and exports for taxes.
Your team
Invite your partner or your staff. Decide what each person can buy, sell, recount or see.
Your own website
A site under your name and your domain, selling from the same inventory, with your shows or your events on it.
Events, memberships, marketing
Tickets and brackets, member tiers and points, email and text, staff schedules and time — the tools Home Town runs on today.
