Hoard vs BinderPOS

BinderPOS is a point-of-sale system owned by TCGplayer. It was built for local game stores: an in-store register, buylist management, customer tracking, and a sales counter. Its TCGplayer integration was a real and useful feature, but the product was always oriented around the physical retail use case.

Hoard is built exclusively for online TCGplayer sellers. There's no POS, no in-store interface, no buylist counter. What there is: an agent that reads your inventory, tracks market movement, runs repricing on a schedule you set, and handles the daily operational layer of a TCGplayer store — so you don't have to log in every day to keep prices current.

If you're evaluating the two, it's worth being clear about what use case you're actually in.

What BinderPOS was actually built for

BinderPOS was the right choice if you ran a physical game store and needed a register that also connected to TCGplayer. The point-of-sale functionality, in-store buylist management, and customer-facing checkout were purpose-built for that environment. If that's your primary operation, you need a replacement with similar POS capabilities — Hoard won't cover it.

The narrower job Hoard does instead

Hoard is the right choice if your primary operation is online TCGplayer selling and you're looking for something that handles repricing and sync without daily manual effort. The agent reads your TCGplayer store, tracks market movers across your game mix, and pushes price updates back to TCGplayer on a schedule.

The things it focuses on:

• Automated repricing — scheduled runs with logged decisions, not a manual "run now" button you forget to press
• Market coverage across all 25 games TCGplayer carries, not just Magic
• Floors and ceilings that protect margin, with preview mode so you see what a run would do before it does it
• Weekly receipts that show every price changed, every card skipped, and why
• Sales and refund tracking that connects pricing decisions to outcomes

The things it doesn't do: physical register, in-store buylist counter, customer-facing checkout, anything that requires a card in hand.

The fee structure difference

BinderPOS priced on a percentage of sales. Hoard prices by how often your inventory syncs — flat monthly plans regardless of how much you sell. As volume grows, the percentage model gets more expensive relative to your revenue; the flat model doesn't. Compare Hoard plans.

If you're mid-migration from BinderPOS

If you need help getting your inventory data out of BinderPOS before moving, the migration guide covers the export process and what to check before you decommission your old account.

If you want to see what Hoard does with your actual TCGplayer inventory before committing to anything, connect your store and look at the read — no credit card, no repricing runs until you say so.
