Have and want lists
Lists are how matching works. A Haves list is what you will trade away. A Wants list is what you still need. Open Trading → My Lists, or My Lists from your profile menu. That page is /x/lists.
Create a list
- 1Click Add list. The modal title is Create a list
- 2Enter Name, pick Game if you play more than one, and set Type to Wants or Haves
- 3Leave Make this list public checked if nearby players should see it. Public is the default
- 4Click Create
- 5On the list, click Add Card or the upload icon to import. Search a printing, then set finishes, Language, Condition, Quantity, and — on a Wants list — whether any printing is fine
On a list you own
- Search and filter cards the same way as a collection: Table or Visual, plus that game’s sidebar facets
- The history icon opens import history for that list
- Published lists can be shared with a link or QR code
- Use the publish control to take a list private without deleting it
Getting matched
Matching uses the stores you picked and the lists you published. Open Account Settings → Trading Locations, choose up to five Preferred stores, and optionally save one Meeting place. Lootstack then matches your lists against other players who share a store or city.
- A store page shows public haves and wants from traders who listed that shop
- A city page shows the same inventory across town
- Another player’s profile can show Matched Trades between your lists and theirs
- A trade proposal can include cards from both sides, optional cash (Add cash), and a meetup at a shared store or your meeting place
- Inbox is where the proposal chat lives when something needs saying
Meet in public
Complete swaps at a game store during business hours. Lootstack never holds the cards and never ships them for you.Card condition
When you add or edit a card, Condition uses these grades. Near mint is the default:
- Mint
- Near mint
- Excellent
- Good
- Lightly played
- Played
- Poor
