Building the trade intelligence layer
CollectIQ exists to solve one problem: connecting what buyers want with what sellers have — instantly, transparently, and at scale.
Our mission
The collectibles market is massive — trading cards, sports memorabilia, coins, comics, vintage toys — yet most shops still run on spreadsheets, Facebook groups, and gut instinct.
Buyers submit want lists that disappear into email inboxes. Sellers sit on inventory they can't move because they don't know who's looking. The gap between demand and supply isn't a technology problem — it's an infrastructure problem.
CollectIQ is that infrastructure. We capture buyer demand through any channel — web widgets, QR codes, buylists, API — and match it against seller inventory using our deterministic MatchPack engine. Every match is explainable. Every signal is routed. Every trade becomes possible.
What we believe
Dealer-first
Every feature starts with one question: does this help a real shop capture demand and move inventory faster?
Transparent by default
Open pricing, public roadmap, honest documentation. No hidden fees, no lock-in, no surprises.
Built for scale
Whether you run a single-location card shop or a multi-location marketplace, the platform grows with you.
Data-driven matching
Our MatchPack engine uses deterministic scoring — no black boxes, no AI hallucinations. Every match is explainable.
