The problem
The Local Trading Problem
Pokémon collectors have nowhere good to trade locally. Every existing option has a fatal flaw.
“eBay takes 13%”
Fees eat your profit on every sale. A $100 card costs you $13 before you've even left the house. PokeLocal charges 3% on cash sales only — and zero on trades.
“Fakes are everywhere”
Can't inspect cards before paying. Shipped cards can be swapped, damaged, or counterfeit — you never know until it's too late.
“Facebook groups are chaos”
No trust layer, no structure. Scammers blend in. Deals fall through. The community deserves better.
Local solves all three. PokeLocal makes it happen.
How it works
Built for the way collectors actually trade
Scan-to-List
Point your phone at any card. AI identifies it, prices it, and lists it in 5 seconds. Your whole binder, live in minutes.
Trade Nights
Monthly in-store events at local game shops. RSVP through the app. Meet collectors. Find that card you've been hunting.
Trust Layer
Verified LGS partners. In-person inspection before payment. The fake problem disappears when you can hold the card.
