Vendilot is the trading card app for the people who sell cards and the people who collect them. Vendors scan, price, and sell with live market data. Collectors track what their cards are worth, finish their sets, and get offers from vendors nearby. FOR COLLECTORS KNOW WHAT YOUR COLLECTION IS WORTH Add your cards and see their total market value, updated every day, with a chart that shows how it moves. You also see what vendors might pay and what you would take home selling on eBay. EXPLORE EVERY SET Browse every game and set, see what each set is worth, and flip through every card with its price. See which cards you own and exactly what you are missing. ADD CARDS YOUR WAY Search for any card and add it in one tap, import your Collectr showcase, or scan a whole stack with SmartScan (Collector+). WISHLIST AND PRICE ALERTS Save the cards you want and get an alert when one drops to your price or turns up at a vendor near you.

Everything you sell goes into your sold history. CARD SHOWS AND TRADES Find card shows and vendors near you, and check whether a trade is fair before you swap. FOR VENDORS SMARTSCAN CARD RECOGNITION Snap a photo of any card, raw or graded, and Vendilot identifies the name, set, edition, and finish, then prices it in seconds. Batch through a whole stack in minutes. QUICK QUOTE Build a buy or sell quote right in front of a customer, with live market prices across every supported game.
