Prices, trades, scanning, and what stays on your phone.
Sold-market data from Scrydex, plus eBay listing comps. New prices land once a day, late morning. Until then you see the latest snapshot. All prices are in USD.
No. They are market references, not promises. Think of them as an estimate of what a card sells for, not a quote someone owes you. A trade is always your call. Cards Bartr cannot price are flagged and left out of totals instead of guessed at $0.
Because that is literally what it is: the total of the copies that resolved a real price. If some cards did not price, they are not silently counted. The label tells you the coverage instead of implying the number is your whole collection.
Marking cards as vendor stock moves them out of your personal collection, and every collection value number in the app counts your personal collection only. Your stock’s value lives in the Vendor view. Move a card back and it counts again. Nothing is lost.
PSA 7 and 8 (and CGC 7 and 8) do not have enough separate sales to price reliably, so Bartr shows a value based on the raw-card price tier and says so on the card. Treat it as a ballpark, not a quote. PSA 9 and 10 have their own real prices.
You set that value yourself. Live pricing is paused for that copy until you clear the manual value.
How much evidence a price rests on. Tap the chip on any card to see the comps behind the number. A price built on one or two sales is a hint, not a market. Bartr says which is which.
Not currently. Prices come from Scrydex market data and eBay listings. Older cards in your collection may show a price originally saved from another source. It behaves like any other cached price.
Graded One Piece pricing is not available from Bartr’s current data sources, so those values are hidden rather than estimated. Raw One Piece prices work normally.
Fair has a band: the gap is under 3% of the larger side. On a $10,000 trade, $150 is 1.5%, comfortably inside the band. Nobody splits $150 on a five-figure deal. The footnote under the verdict shows the exact percent so you can see where the gap sits. If you want to close it exactly, cash or a small filler card does it. “NO GAP” is reserved for a perfectly even trade ($0 difference).
Dealers do not pay full market. They pay a percentage so they can resell. Setting a buy rate (like 80%) discounts that side of the trade to what a dealer would actually offer, so the verdict reflects the real deal. You choose whether the rate applies to your side, their side, or both.
Advice on top of the math: the value gap, a suggested counter, a fair counter, and your limit if terms shift. The verdict always comes from the same math as the calculator, so the two can never disagree. If a card’s identity is not confirmed or its price rests on thin comps, the Professor says so and lowers its confidence. You can try that verdict math without installing anything on the web calculator.
Yes. The lock icon in the Trade toolbar makes everything read-only. Totals and the Professor still update, and nothing can be edited by accident.
Tap Deal Complete after the handshake. Every saved trade lives in Collection, then Trade History, with the itemized receipt: what you gave, what you got, the gap, and the rate applied.
Raw cards and graded slabs, from the camera or your photo library. Bulk mode scans a stack in sequence with a running total.
Use the picker on the result to choose the right card. A wrong match is worse than a failed scan, so it is always correctable. Please report it too (Profile, then Report a Problem), since wrong matches are how the matcher improves.
Scans are cached so re-scanning the same photo does not cost another lookup. If a wrong read got cached, clearing the scan cache in the developer options under Profile forces the next scan to read fresh.
Matched is ready to add. Needs Review means Bartr is not sure and wants you to pick the right card. Failed means the photo could not be read, so retake it in better light with the card flatter.
Not for you during beta. Behind the scenes, each new photo identification uses a paid lookup. That is why results are cached, and why bulk mode groups unsure reads for review instead of guessing.
Go to Profile, then Import your collection (or Collection, then the dots menu, then Import Collection). Three ways in: screenshots of your current app, a pasted list, or a CSV export from Collectr or Shiny. You review every card before anything is added. Re-importing the same file refreshes it instead of doubling it. There is also an Undo button right after each import.
Yes. Tap the collection name at the top of the Collection tab (“Main”) to create, switch, rename, or star a default, and to see an all-collections total.
Trade Box is cards you would trade away at a show. Stock is cards you sell, which moves them to the Vendor view with asking prices, a live page, and a sales ledger. A card can be for-trade without being for-sale.
Expected, for now. Coverage is best for English Pokémon. Unmatched cards still import and scan with the price from your file. They just won’t show a card image until the catalog matches them.
Go to Profile, then Show Tools, then Vendor Mode. After that, hold the Collection tab to flip between your collection and your Vendor view.
It creates a live for-sale page with a link and QR code. Customers scan it at your table and see your stock with current prices and availability. It updates as you sell, and you can take it down any time.
Yes, if you turn on offers when publishing. Buyers send an amount. Hold reserves the card, Dismiss clears the offer.
Price My Table. One tap prices each card at quick-sale (85%), market, or stretch (110%). Adjust any card individually after.
End-of-show cash math: expected cash equals your float plus cash sales minus buys. Digital sales are left out automatically.
Dollar values across the app: live trades, Home, and collection totals. Counts stay visible. Turn it on once, or set it to switch on automatically whenever Show Mode starts.
The at-the-table mode. Privacy Mode turns on so the person across from you cannot read your values, your scans and trades get tagged to the show (and to a booth, if you set one), and ending the show gives you a trip recap.
Only if you share it. Share Profile and trade receipts are images you explicitly create and send. Nothing posts anywhere on its own.
No. Your collection, trades, and settings live on your device. No login, no email, no ads, no tracking.
Go to Profile, then Cloud Backup. You will get one recovery code. Write it down somewhere outside your phone. It is the only way to restore on a new device. There is no email reset, and Bartr cannot recover the code for you. Backups run about once a day once enabled.
It permanently deletes your collection, saved trades, price alerts, and want list from this device. It asks twice. If you have Cloud Backup on, you can restore with your recovery code. If not, it is gone.
Counts only: which features get used and where people get stuck. Never your cards, prices, searches, or anything that identifies you. You can turn it off in Profile. Turning it off also discards anything queued.
Free during the beta, through TestFlight on iOS. Android is not available yet.
Go to Profile, then Report a Problem. Type one line about what you were trying to do and hit Share. It attaches your recent activity log and build info automatically. That log is the difference between “it was weird” and a fixable bug.
No. It records once a day and needs a few days of data to draw anything. A sparse chart in week one is expected.
It is being honest. With no connection, Bartr shows the last price it saved and labels it as such, instead of pretending the number is live.
