ConLoot is the field guide for convention exclusives. Built for the collector who actually goes — or wishes they did — to SDCC, NYCC, C2E2, WonderCon, and every con in between. ConLoot answers the questions you're already asking on the floor: what is it, where do I get it, what should I pay, and how sure are we. What you get — A searchable archive of convention exclusives, organized by convention, booth, and vendor. Browse a whole show, drill into a single booth, or follow a vendor across events. Filter by availability, exclusivity type, booth area, or price — Free-only and unknown-price included — and sort low to high to find the deal fast. — Live eBay market data on every item: the sold range, a sparkline of recent sold comps, and a confidence chip (high, medium, low) with the comp count behind it. If we don't have enough comps to be confident, we say so. No fake numbers. — Source attribution on every claim. If a price comes from eBay sold listings, it says so. If a date or edition comes from an official vendor post or the SDCC blog, the source is one tap away. Confidence is earned, not declared. — Saved lists that work offline. The convention floor is a Wi-Fi desert. ConLoot stores your lists locally first and syncs to the cloud when you're back on signal. Read, filter, and add to your lists with airplane mode on. — Lists built for a buying plan. Keep a default list for what you're chasing, collections for what you already own, and trackers for what you're watching — each with its own color. Rate items 1–5, sort by interest or by booth location, see the live eBay price on every row, and let ConLoot group your list by event and floor zone so your walk makes sense. — Know what's gone. Items show when they're sold out — and if you follow one, ConLoot alerts you the moment it's back in stock. — Follow the vendors and conventions you care about. Get an opt-in push when a vendor you follow drops something new — "Just added" — or when an event or item you're tracking changes. An app-icon badge shows unread alerts at a glance. Every alert type is a single toggle in Account — or leave them all off. — See something wrong? Report it. Bad price, wrong booth, a duplicate — tap Report and flag it. Community reports keep the archive honest. — Run a booth? Claim and manage your vendor page. Submit a claim with your contact info and we'll route it to a real human; once you're verified you can edit your vendor name and page right in the app. Designed for collectors ConLoot is dark by default — convention halls are dim and collectibles photograph best on dark surfaces — with a light theme in Account if you prefer it. No purple, no neon, no glow, no inflated trend arrows. Just the data you came for, with the source receipts attached. Free ConLoot is free. Everything in this listing — the full archive, live market data, offline lists, vendor and event follows, push alerts — is in the box. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases. Privacy We collect the minimum to make the app work: an email for account sync, anonymous product analytics so we know which screens to fix first, and crash reports. We don't sell your data.
