Intake Desk

  • Seller starts a listing, chooses intake, and follows the review window shown before handoff.
  • Counter records track photos, visible condition, accessory count, packaging, and release state.
  • Category rules keep accepted inventory and restricted inventory separated.

Authentication Fit

  • Card slabs, sealed product, sneaker boxes, electronics serial areas, and console tests are visible in listing detail.
  • Higher-value items route through checklists before auction or pickup.
  • Hub notes stay close to the item, order, and report flow.

Local Events

  • Timed drops group nearby inventory for watchlists and scheduled auctions.
  • Trade-night items can be browsed before an event starts.
  • Pickup windows help turn online interest into local handoffs.

Launch needs real locations, staff roles, chain-of-custody records, storage policy, appointment capacity, liability terms, and support ownership.
