No download needed. You don't need to install Hoard to start using it. Upload a CSV export from TCGplayer (or Collectr), and your dashboard fills up with your inventory, market values, and pricing data. Takes about 30 seconds. ## What you'll end up with * Your full card inventory visible on the dashboard * Market values, price gaps, and profit tracking for every card * Access to search, filters, movers, and competitive position data *** ## Step 1: Export your inventory from TCGplayer Log into your TCGplayer seller portal and export your inventory as a CSV. The exact steps depend on TCGplayer's current interface, but generally: 1. Go to your seller portal at store.tcgplayer.com 2. Navigate to **Inventory** or **Pricing** 3. Click **Export** and download the CSV Save the file somewhere easy to find. If you use Collectr to manage your collection, you can export from there instead. Hoard auto-detects the format. *** ## Step 2: Open Hoard and find the import panel Go to your Hoard dashboard. If this is your first time, you'll see a welcome screen with an import area front and center. If you've been here before, open the **Cards** tab, expand **Import inventory CSV**, and choose your file there. Manual CSV import is meant for setup or recovery. If Hoard is already syncing the store, you usually do not need it. The Hoard dashboard after inventory has been imported *** ## Step 3: Drop your CSV Drag your CSV file onto the import area, or click to browse for it. Hoard reads the file and processes your cards. This usually takes a few seconds, even for large inventories. Hoard auto-detects whether it's a TCGplayer export or a Collectr export based on the column headers. You don't need to tell it which format you're using. By default, a manual upload adds or updates rows and leaves missing cards alone. That means a filtered export, like only Pokemon or one set, will not silently delist everything else in your account. Only select **Replace all inventory** when the CSV is meant to become the full active inventory. *** ## Step 4: See your dashboard come to life After the upload finishes, you land on the dashboard with your full inventory loaded. You'll see: * **Stats bar** at the top showing total listings, your price, market value, and the spread between them * **Competitive position** showing how your prices compare to the lowest listing on TCGplayer * **Top movers** showing which cards in your collection are changing in value * **Cards tab** with your full inventory in a searchable, sortable table Dashboard populated with inventory data after CSV upload The numbers update every time you sync. For now, this is a snapshot of your inventory at the moment you exported. *** ## What the numbers mean | Stat | What it tells you | | ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Your Price** | The total value of your inventory at your current listed prices | | **Market Value** | What those same cards are worth at TCGplayer's market price | | **Spread** | The difference between your price and market. Green means you're priced above market overall. | | **Underpriced** | How many cards are listed below what Hoard thinks they should be | *** ## What to do next You can explore your inventory right now without installing Hoard: * **Cards tab** — search, sort, and filter your entire inventory * **Movers tab** — see which cards are gaining or losing value * **Competitive position** — find out where you're leaving money on the table When you're ready for automated syncing and repricing, pick a plan ([Gold, Platinum, or Diamond](https://www.tryhoard.com/pricing)) and set up [Hoard Desktop](/quickstart) or [Hoard Agent](/agent-setup). Hoard will keep your inventory fresh and update your prices automatically. *** ## Troubleshooting **"Unknown CSV format"** — Make sure you're uploading a TCGplayer inventory export or Collectr portfolio export. Other CSV formats (like order exports) go to a different import page. **No cards showing after upload** — Check that your CSV has data rows, not just headers. If you exported with filters active in TCGplayer, you might have gotten an empty or partial export. **Upload seems stuck** — Files up to 50 MB are supported. If your file is larger, try exporting a single product line at a time. **Cards missing from the CSV stayed active** — This is expected for normal manual uploads. Select **Replace all inventory** only when you intentionally want missing rows delisted. If the upload would remove more than 80% of your active inventory, Hoard treats it as likely partial and skips the delist for safety.
