Our mission

Bringing predictable margins to high-volume retro retail.

Stop making customers wait while your staff juggles PriceCharting tabs, messy spreadsheets, and texting you for trade-in approvals.

RetroSwap replaces the chaos of the counter with a guided, AI-assisted appraisal workflow that keeps offers consistent across every shift.

The problem

Busy Saturdays expose the flaws in improvised pricing.

Without a unified system, your newest hires are forced to guess on condition, haggle over prices, and manually cross-reference data. That inconsistency burns customer trust and leaks your margin.

  1. 01

    Slow intake and grading

    PriceCharting tabs, manual lookups, and condition checks turn trade-ins into bottlenecks during busy Saturday rushes.

  2. 02

    Inconsistent buy/sell decisions

    Different staff make different calls for the same item, creating margin leakage and trust issues at the counter.

  3. 03

    Fragmented operational stack

    Pricing, inventory, and channel workflows live in separate tools, which causes stale data, duplicate work, and texting the boss for approvals.

How we work

One operating loop: intake, value, operate.

RetroSwap centers workflows around what store teams actually do during intake, repricing, and cross-channel updates.

  1. 01

    Intake

    Guided intake catches every key variant and condition signal before the item reaches the quote stage.

    At the counter

    Front-counter teams stop missing details like Greatest Hits distinctions, inserts, and manual completeness.

  2. 02

    Value

    Market-backed guardrails convert your margin targets into a consistent buy/sell spread for every appraisal.

    At the counter

    Supervisors can set policy once and trust first-week hires to price like veteran staff.

  3. 03

    Operate

    Sync inventory and pricing updates through POS and connected channels.

    At the counter

    Your catalog stays coherent across storefront and marketplaces.

Team principles

We build for real shift constraints, not ideal demos.

Product decisions are anchored in field feedback from owners, buyers, and front-counter operators.

  • Practical Over Flashy

    We optimize for the next busy Saturday shift, not demo-only features.

  • Consistency Over Guesswork

    You should not need a decade of gaming history to run the front counter. Workflows are built so first-week hires can execute with confidence.

  • Operator Feedback Loops

    Store teams shape roadmap priorities through direct workflow feedback from owners, buyers, and rotating shift staff.

Who we serve

Focused on teams with meaningful SKU and trade-in complexity.

If your catalog changes often and pricing consistency matters every day, you are likely a strong fit.

  • Independent Retro Stores

    Single-location teams that need tighter buy/sell discipline without adding overhead.

    Best fit
    Owner-operated shops handling frequent trade-ins.
    Not ideal
    You only sell sealed inventory with fixed-price sourcing.

  • Multi-Location Chains

    Growing operators who need one operating model across stores and shared inventory decisions.

    Best fit
    Businesses with transfer and repricing coordination challenges.
    Not ideal
    Each location runs as a completely independent business unit.

  • Online-First Sellers

    Catalog-heavy sellers balancing listing velocity, grading consistency, and margin protection.

    Best fit
    Teams managing frequent listing updates across channels.
    Not ideal
    You only run occasional hobby sales with low SKU volume.
