Track consignment inventory
If you sell cards on behalf of other people, whether that’s a friend who dropped off a binder, a regular at your LGS, or someone who shipped you their extras, Hoard tracks who owns what, what’s sold, and what you owe. This tutorial walks through adding a consignor, assigning cards to them, and recording a payout.What you’ll end up with
- A consignor profile with their name, split percentage, and payment info
- Cards in your inventory tagged as belonging to them
- A running balance showing what you owe based on estimated sales
- A record of payouts you’ve made
Step 1: Add a consignor
Click the Consignors tab on the dashboard, then click Add Consignor.
Pick a type
Consignment (split %) — the most common setup. You sell their cards and split the revenue. They get X%, you keep the rest. The calculator at the bottom shows you exactly how a $500 sale would break down at your chosen split. Buy-In (flat price) — you bought the cards outright at an agreed price. You own them now, but Hoard tracks the deal so you can see if it’s working out. No ongoing payout obligation. Floor (guaranteed minimum) — you guarantee the consignor a minimum payout per card regardless of what it sells for. Good for high-value cards where the consignor wants certainty.Set the split
For consignment, pick a split from the preset buttons (50/50, 60/40, 70/30, etc.) or type a custom number. The calculator updates live so you can see the math.Gross or net
Choose whether the split applies to the gross sale price (what the buyer paid) or the net price after TCGplayer’s fees (roughly 10.25%). Net is more accurate if you want the split to reflect what actually hit your account.Payment handle (optional)
Add their Venmo, PayPal.me, or CashApp handle. When you record a payout later, Hoard can open the payment app with the amount pre-filled. Saves you from copying numbers around. Click Save to create the consignor.Step 2: Assign cards
There are two ways to assign cards to a consignor.From the binder (one at a time)
Open the Cards tab, switch to Grid view, and click any card. The detail slide-out has an ownership section where you can assign the card to a consignor and set the quantity.After a sync (bulk)
After each sync, Hoard checks for new cards that haven’t been assigned to anyone. If it finds any, a banner appears at the top of the binder:“12 new cards imported. Assign to a consignor?”Click the banner to bulk-assign the new cards. Pick the consignor and confirm.
Step 3: Check what you owe
Click View on any consignor in the Consignors tab to see their detail page.
| Stat | What it means |
|---|---|
| Cards | How many cards you’re currently holding for this consignor |
| Listed Value | Total value of those cards at your current listed prices |
| Est. Sold Value | Hoard’s estimate of how much has sold based on inventory changes |
| Est. Owed | Their share of estimated sales, minus any payouts you’ve already made |
| Total Paid | How much you’ve paid them so far |
Step 4: Record a payout
When you pay a consignor, click Record Payout on their detail page. Enter the amount, pick the payment method, and add an optional reference (like a Venmo transaction ID or check number). If you stored their payment handle, you’ll see a button to open their payment app directly. Hoard pre-fills the amount and recipient. After the transfer goes through, come back and confirm the payout. The payout deducts from their running balance, so the “Est. Owed” number always reflects what you still owe.Step 5: Share a report with them
Want your consignor to see what’s going on without giving them access to your dashboard? Click Share Link on their detail page. Hoard generates a private URL you can text or email them. The public report shows:- Which cards you’re holding
- Current market values
- Estimated sales
- Your pricing strategy or markup
- The split percentage
- What you’ve paid other consignors
Adjustments
Sometimes things don’t go perfectly. A card comes back damaged. A buyer disputes a sale. You need to credit a consignor for something outside the normal flow. Click Record Adjustment on the consignor’s detail page. Enter a dollar amount (negative to reduce what you owe, positive to increase it), pick a reason (return, damage, dispute, correction, other), and add a note. Adjustments flow into the “Est. Owed” calculation immediately.Tips
- Assign cards right after each sync. The banner makes this easy. Don’t let unassigned cards pile up, it gets harder to remember whose is whose.
- Use the binder’s consignor filter. The dropdown at the top of the Cards tab lets you view “All,” “Mine,” or a specific consignor. Useful when you want to see just one person’s inventory.
- Archive when done. When a consignor’s cards are all sold and paid out, click Archive on their detail page. They’ll move to the Archived tab and stop showing in dropdown menus, but all their history stays intact.
- Multiple consignors on one card? If you got 4 copies of a card from two different people, Hoard tracks separate ownership rows. Each consignor’s share of sales is proportional to their quantity.
