I’ve been messing with a tool for collectible resale math.
The main thing I wanted to check is pretty simple:
A drop can look good at retail, but once you compare retail price, eBay sold comps, active listings, shipping, and seller fees, the spread can disappear fast.
Example focus page I made for 2025 Topps Chrome Football:
https://www.collectaio.com/focus/2025-topps-chrome-football
Right now I’m trying to make it useful for stuff like:
- Topps / Bowman / Panini drops
- Pokemon sealed products
- LEGO sets
- eBay active floors vs sold comps
- estimated seller payout after fees
Still early, but the goal is basically: before touching a drop, know if the math actually works.
For people here who resell, what data would be most useful?
- active floor
- recent sold comps
- estimated seller payout
- retail vs payout spread
- alerts/watchlists
- something else
