01
Slow intake and grading
PriceCharting tabs, manual lookups, and condition checks turn trade-ins into bottlenecks during busy Saturday rushes.
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 an automated, 90-second AI appraisal workflow that guarantees consistency 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.
02
Inconsistent buy/sell decisions
Different staff make different calls for the same item, creating margin leakage and trust issues at the counter.
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.
01
Intake
Guided intake catches every key variant and condition signal before the item reaches the quote stage.
Front-counter teams stop missing details like Greatest Hits distinctions, inserts, and manual completeness.
02
Value
Market-backed guardrails convert your margin targets into a consistent buy/sell spread for every appraisal.
Supervisors can set policy once and trust first-week hires to price like veteran staff.
03
Operate
Sync inventory and pricing updates through POS and connected channels.
Your catalog stays coherent across storefront and marketplaces.
Proof
Designed for high-volume operators.
Consistent, explainable pricing logic builds loyalty in local markets by removing quote-to-quote uncertainty.

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.
Next Step
Make pricing policy executable across every shift.
Start with your current intake and repricing workflow, then standardize decisions without slowing down the floor.
