Temporary Sales

Run a sale on your inventory without worrying about reverting it manually. Set a duration, and Hoard handles the rest. When the sale ends, your normal pricing rules kick back in automatically.

​

How it works

A sale is a discount that applies on top of your normal pricing. Your rules compute the price as usual (markup, never-go-down, floors, everything), and then the sale takes a percentage off that result. When the timer runs out:

1. The sale auto-deactivates
2. Hoard runs a full reprice using your permanent rules
3. Your prices return to whatever your rules say they should be

The sale discount is always relative to your computed price, not to market price. Your pricing strategy stays intact; the sale just takes a cut off the top. When a sale expires, the snap-back reprice runs through the same aggregate-drop safety checks as manual rule edits. If the post-sale commit would move too much listed value at once, Hoard holds the price update and emails you instead of silently pushing the whole batch. The sale rule still expires on time; only the price commit waits for review.

​

Example

Say you have a card with a $10 market price and your rule is 1.2x markup: If never-go-down is holding that card at $15 (because the market dropped but your price didn’t): The sale always discounts the final computed price. Your rules and protections run first, the sale applies last. No manual “undo” needed. No remembering to turn it off. No stale sale prices sitting on TCGplayer for weeks because you forgot.

What you see

• Active sales show an amber SALE badge with a countdown timer in the rules list
• Expired sales show a grey EXPIRED badge with the order count during the sale window
• Past sales are visible at the bottom of the rules list with basic performance stats

Important details

• The discount applies to your computed price, not to market price. If your rules say $12 and you run 20$9.60.
• Never-go-down still works. If it’s holding a card at $15, the sale discounts$15, not the lower rule-computed value.
• Sale prices still respect your $1 floor. No card will ever go below the floor, even during a sale.
• If two sales match the same card, only one applies (the highest-priority sale wins). They don’t compound.
• Sales appear in a separate section on the Rules page. They don’t participate in rule priority ordering.
• The expiry check runs every 5 minutes. Your sale may run up to 5 minutes past the stated duration before prices revert.
• The same discount applies every reprice cycle. A 20% off sale gives you exactly 20% off every time, with no price drift or spiral.
