Save your money

As a collector of all vintage toys, the inventory is slacking. Nothing really to see that’s worth paying a subscription fee for.

Complete waste of money

Why would anyone pay a subscription fee when there are so many platforms that allow you to sell for free? Anyone trying this app, try facebook marketplace. NO FEES!

Love The TCA app !!

I’ve been a collector of vintage toys mainly Star Wars but also dabble with Battlestar galactica and Buck Rogers since the 70’s.
Ever since the TCA opened for business it’s been a real treat to see so many of the toys I collect all in one spot.
The navigation of the app is super easy and communicating with sellers is super easy.
I’ve already bought a few items and sold a few items and each transaction went as smooth as glass.
I also love the fact that I don’t have pricey fees drowning me either like eBay or Hakes.
I know there’s a $10 monthly fee but thats nothing like 15% seller fees or other auctions sites that charge way more that can put a hamper on the items selling or buying.
I also like the fact that there’s much more than just toys too like watches or other valuable collectibles.
It’s a win win for me having the app on demand on my phone and to be honest I love strolling through the app when I have a break to pass the time and see some cool stuff.

Amazing Concept!

In a world of 10% eBay fees, 4% PayPal fees, and 18-22% buyers premium at live auctions, it’s refreshing to buy something for the price the seller is asking, or to sell something and actually net what you Wanted for it!

I’ve purchased on this site and it went very well. I’ve sold on site and it went well too! Want rare items? They have it!

For a newer app, I can say, I can definitely get used to this!

Great collectibles addition

This app is easy to use and intuitive. Great products on there and really good value. Looking forward to seeing it grow!

High Hopes for the future

Still a very new app but so far so good - it’s easy to scroll; make offer; and even purchase items. A much better alternative than having to scroll through a bunch of other feeds, statuses, etc just to find sales items.

This is the future of sales apps - make offers, list your own stuff, all without owing the platform a portion of your sale.

Can’t wait for more updates and features to be added!

eBay’s little brother’s uncle’s goldfish

This is my personal opinion as I was signed up and I used it for a month or two. The website is very clunky and slow. Im not a computer person at all but if I paid someone to make this website/app, I would ask for my money back. There was little to no movement in inventory, when I was on there stuff wasn’t even selling. So say you do buy something, then you have to go through the hassle of working it through the seller messaging and paying. But who is paying the state taxes on the purchases? Is TCA paying the state tax on all the purchases? I don’t know, I wasn’t charged any state tax when I made a purchase, I’m assuming TCA is paying my taxes since it’s not written anywhere. Looks like this won’t last long, I gave up and just cancelled my Sub. Was a waste of money.

Sluggish, outdated, and has hidden costs

Interface is sluggish and has inconsistent design with small unresponsive buttons on some screens. Common gestures you would expect are completely missing. Searching and filtering is very limited. There is overall not much here and you’re better off with other similar apps - there are a lot of them.

Btw this app is not free - you have to pay them in their external payment system to actually do anything.

New purchase

I am a vintage Star Wars collector, but they have a bit of everything. This app is a must have for any collector. Huge inventory, fair prices, simple to use- no hidden fees. This is my new goto for my vintage purchases.

Great App/website

Cheap rate for the year to not pay for eBay, whatnot, Instagram seller fees, tons of stuff on there. Great experience!

Great App

I’m a longtime vintage Star Wars collector and I found this app easy to use and navigate. I was able to negotiate the price for an item with ease using the private chat, and there were no other additional/hidden fees, which I was appreciative of. Great overall purchasing experience and I would recommend to anyone!
