Your first sync — what just happened

Your agent just finished its first sync. The dashboard is full of numbers now, and you might be wondering what you’re looking at. This tutorial walks through each part of the dashboard so you know what Hoard did, what it found, and what to look at first.

The Today tab

The Today tab is your morning briefing. After a sync, it answers three questions: how’s my inventory doing, what changed, and is anything on fire?

The stats bar (top row)

  • Sales Today — revenue from today’s orders, if any. Don’t worry if this is $0 after your first sync, it takes a few syncs to build up order history.
  • Inventory Value — the total listed value of your inventory at your current prices.
  • Change This Week — how much your total portfolio value moved since last week. Green means your inventory is worth more, red means less.
  • Cards in Inventory — total number of individual listings.
  • Revenue This Month — running total from orders this month.

Competitive position

Below the stats, you’ll see a section showing how your prices compare to the cheapest listing on TCGplayer. Check out the competitive position tutorial for a deep dive on reading this.

Top movers

The cards in your inventory that moved the most in market price. These are worth looking at because they might need a price adjustment.

The Sync Log

Click the Sync Log subtab on the Today tab to see what happened during your sync.
Sync Log showing sync history with step indicators, repriced counts, and revenue impact
Each row is one sync cycle. Here’s what the columns tell you:
ColumnWhat it means
StepsGreen dots mean each step succeeded. A red dot means something failed. Amber means a non-critical step had trouble (like feedback or sales).
RepricedHow many cards got a new target price. On your first sync this will be high (every card gets priced).
SoldCards that disappeared from your inventory since the last sync. On your first sync this will be 0.
Market MoversCards where the TCGplayer market price changed.
Revenue ImpactThe net dollar effect of all price changes. Green means prices went up overall.
RollbackClick this if you don’t like what happened. It lets you undo a sync’s price changes.

The Cards tab

Click the Cards tab to browse your full inventory.

Each card shows:
  • Current — what you’re listed at on TCGplayer right now
  • Low — the cheapest listing on TCGplayer (including shipping)
  • Market — TCGplayer’s market price
  • Target — what Hoard thinks you should be listed at, based on your pricing strategy
  • Gap — the difference between your current price and Hoard’s target
  • Upside — potential dollar value you could capture by adjusting to the target
Cards with a green “On Target” status are already priced where Hoard thinks they should be. Cards without that label have room to adjust.

The Movers tab

The Movers tab shows which cards in your collection had the biggest price swings.
Movers tab showing top gainers and losers with price changes
  • Gainers — cards whose market price went up. If you have “Never Lower Prices” turned on, Hoard already raised your target to match.
  • Losers — cards whose market price dropped. Check whether your prices should follow or hold. This is where “Never Lower Prices” protects you from market dips you don’t agree with.
Use the time window toggle (1 day, 7 days, etc.) to zoom in or out.

What to check first

After your first sync, here’s a quick checklist:
  1. Check the Sync Log. All green dots? Good. A red dot on a critical step means the agent hit a problem, check the troubleshooting guide.
  2. Glance at the stats bar. Does your inventory count look right? If you have 5,000 cards on TCGplayer but Hoard shows 200, you might need to enable more product lines in Settings.
  3. Scan the Cards tab for big gaps. Sort by “Upside” to see where the biggest pricing opportunities are. If a card has a large positive gap, your price is below where Hoard thinks it should be.
  4. Check your pricing settings. Go to Settings > Pricing and make sure the markup, floor, and never-go-down settings match your strategy. The defaults are a good starting point (20% markup, $1.00 floor, never lower prices ON), but you know your business better.

What happens next

Your agent will keep syncing on a schedule (every 4 hours by default, configurable in Settings). Each sync:
  • Exports your latest inventory from TCGplayer
  • Uploads it to Hoard
  • Runs your pricing rules
  • Downloads a repricing CSV
  • Imports the new prices back to TCGplayer
You can check the Sync Log anytime to see what happened. The Today tab will always show the latest numbers. If you want to adjust prices between syncs, use the Mass Reprice button in the toolbar. It re-runs your pricing rules against your current inventory without waiting for the agent.
