Exactly what I imagined in my own head

VendBuddy encompasses everything that I've thought would streamline my entire vending experience. The card scanner, auto-pricing, market price accuracy, performance analytics, everything. It's given me back so much time during the week that I used to spend preparing for shows or trying to figure out what I sold, what I bought, or what's even gone missing from my inventory. 10/10 would, and do, recommend to everyone.

Worth it

This is seriously the most helpful app for running card shows. It saves so much prep time and keeps everything organized. Totally worth it if you’re a vendor.

Everything I need in one place

I started using VendBuddy about three weeks ago and I'm never looking back. It makes it easy to scan all of my cards, print labels with prices and barcodes, and track my cost basis and sale prices at shows.

The card scanner is fast and accurate and keeps my inventory organized. The show prep feature is something I didn't know I needed. Before each show, VendBuddy flags any cards whose market price has drifted from my sticker price, and I can re-price the whole batch in a few minutes instead of selling underpriced cards all weekend or spending hours the night before repricing everything.

At shows, the labels and barcode scanner are the real game-changer. The labels cleanly show the price and with the barcode, I can ring up sales/trades and complete transactions in seconds instead of fumbling with a price lookup or other card scanner.
