Freshly Sleeved #24 - Name your price

The price isn't quite right? Make an offer. Negotiation is live on CardNexus: propose your price to a seller, counter, and close the deal (on web and in the app). And thatโ€™s not all this week: you can now ask a seller for a real photo before you buy, and graded cards finally get a home of their own.


๐ŸŽฏ Highlights

Make an offer (web & app)

Found a card you like but the price isn't quite right? You can now make an offer straight from your cart. Pick the items, propose your price (with quick โˆ’5 / โˆ’10 / โˆ’15 % shortcuts), add a note if you want, and the seller can accept, decline or counter. Accepted deals are held for you for 48 hours โ€” add them to your cart and check out at the agreed price. Everything happens in a chat with the seller, so you can follow the whole conversation. Sellers choose whether they accept offers in their seller settings.

Now you can: bundle five cards from one seller, offer 12 % under the listed price, and close the deal without leaving CardNexus.

Ask for a photo (web & app)

Want to see the exact copy before you buy? Tap the photo chip on a listing (on the product page or a seller's shop) and the seller gets a request. When they upload the pictures, you're notified and can view them right on the listing. Sellers get a dedicated inbox of pending requests, plus a Photos column in their inventory to add pictures in a couple of clicks.

Now you can: check the condition of a product or the centering on a graded-worthy card before committing.

Graded cards get their own space (web only for now)

  • Graded card selection page โ€” a new page listing graded slabs across all games, with filters by grader, grade (10 ยท 9.5+ ยท 9+ ยท 8+), finish and language. It's also featured in a new carousel on the homepage.

  • Simple | Graded on product pages โ€” switch the listings to graded copies only, filter by grader and grade, and see the top graded copy shown as a slab with the grader's logo. The link is shareable, so you can send someone straight to the graded view.

  • Graded cards now always ship in at least a medium parcel, so the shipping cost you see is the right one from the start.

Now you can: find every PSA 10 for sale on CardNexus in three clicks.


โœจ Improvements & fixes

  • Better listing details (in the app) โ€” richer seller and product info on listing sheets and prices in your selected currency.

  • Explore Games search (in the app) โ€” filter the game list directly on the Explore screen.

  • Profile on mobile (in the web app) โ€” the profile header is redesigned for small screens: identity on top, your stats (sales, verified sales, shipping time, completion rate) in a scrollable row underneath.

  • Paused shop reminder (in the web app) โ€” if you've paused your shop, your own profile now shows a banner reminding you your listings are hidden, with a one-click Unpause.

  • Homepage portfolio value in your currency โ€” the "Your activity" tile on the homepage now converts your collection value to your display currency instead of showing the wrong symbol.

  • Riftbound tags fixed โ€” card tags (champions, regionsโ€ฆ) no longer replace your own inventory tag filter, and 15 missing tag names now display properly.

  • Cart Wizard โ€” the expansion picker no longer shows the print number in the closed field, and links to the wizard open it directly on web and in the app.

  • Import โ€” the "Products added" popup no longer reopens when toggling "Show only added products".

  • Shared lists โ€” a list whose first cards you already own now shows real cards in its link preview instead of an empty grid; and a product with a broken image no longer prevents adding products to a list.

  • Added many smaller fixes and refinements across the marketplace, negotiation dialogs, cart and notifications โ€” and in the app, smoother inventory forms with a keyboard accessory bar, clearer loading states and more reliable price updates.
