Preview Prices re-runs your pricing formula against your entire inventory without waiting for the next sync. You see a preview of every card that would change, decide whether to save those prices in Hoard, and then choose whether to sync them to TCGplayer now or let the next scheduled sync handle it.

​
How this is different from Sync Now

These are the three actions sellers mix up most, so here’s the plain distinction:
  • Preview Prices (this page) — recalculates prices against your pricing rules and shows you what would change. Nothing is saved or sent to TCGplayer until you click Save Prices in Hoard, and even then TCGplayer isn’t touched until you click Sync to TCGplayer Now or the next scheduled sync runs.
  • Sync Now (Inventory Sync) — runs your entire sync: re-downloads your live inventory, syncs your orders and refunds, reprices all the cards based on your rules, and (on a paid plan) uploads those new price changes, all in one go. It’s the full pipeline, not just your pricing.
  • “Reprice Now” is a quicker way to update your live inventory with fresh prices, without a full store re-sync. That’s this page: Preview Prices → Save Prices in Hoard → Sync to TCGplayer Now.
Use Preview Prices after you change a pricing setting or add a new rule and want to safely see the outcome, before actually changing any prices in your store. Use Sync Now when you also want fresh inventory and order data pulled in.

​
When to use it

  • You just changed a pricing setting and want to see the impact right now
  • You added a new pricing rule and want to verify it works
  • You want to experiment with a different markup before committing
  • A card spiked in price and you want your inventory to reflect it immediately

​
How it works

  1. Click the Agent pill in the dashboard header, then click Preview Prices in the popover. The popover only shows this button after your agent has connected at least once; until then it shows a link to download the agent. On mobile, open the hamburger menu and tap Preview Prices.
  2. Hoard re-runs the pricing formula against every card (takes a few seconds)
  3. The Cards tab shows a preview: which cards would change, the old and new prices, and the net dollar impact
  4. Optionally, click Export to download the changes as a TCGplayer-compatible CSV before committing. Good for reviewing in a spreadsheet or keeping as a record.
  5. Click Save Prices in Hoard to commit, or Cancel to throw it away
After saving, Sync to TCGplayer Now appears so you can trigger Hoard to send the new prices right away. Or just wait for the next scheduled sync. Saving prices in Hoard works on every plan. Sending them to TCGplayer requires a paid plan or an active trial.

​
What it doesn’t touch

  • Locked cards are skipped entirely. If you manually locked a price, Preview Prices leaves it alone.
  • Custom listings (graded cards, signed copies) are excluded.

​
Undoing a price update

Every saved price update creates a snapshot. Go to Today > Rollback, find the price update entry, and click Rollback. Your prices go back to exactly where they were.

​
Safety

Saving a preview is blocked while a sync is in progress, so you may need to wait before applying. This prevents two processes from updating prices at once.
