One system for the whole selling loop.
Most tools do one piece — a price, a scan, a spreadsheet row. Curio runs the whole operation, from the moment cards land on your desk to the profit in your account — across Pokémon and seven more trading card games.
Coming soon — web first, with an iPhone app to follow for capture on the go.
The loop
Intake → Decide → List → Store & ship → Profit.
A price checker tells you a number. A spreadsheet stores it. A scanner names the card. None of them tell you what to do or what you actually earned. Because Curio holds the whole loop, every card carries its costs, its decision and its outcome — so your profit numbers are real, not reconstructed at midnight.
Intake
Add by photo or import; each card identified and given a UK-oriented realised price.
Decide
A route for every card from the actual net economics.
List
Move to listing with details and price worked out.
Store & ship
Location, SKU, sorted pick lists, Royal Mail-smart postage.
Profit
Real net profit, ROI and profit-per-hour, exportable.
Decisions★ flagship
Stop deciding one card at a time.
For every card, Curio recommends the route that makes you the most money — list as a single, bundle, sell as bulk, or hold — based on UK-oriented realised pricing, eBay fees, postage and the time each takes.
- Realised value in: a low / typical / high range per card and condition — graded values are an asking-price signal, not sold.
- Costs out: the right eBay fees for your account type, plus postage — so it's net, not headline price.
- A route out: list · bundle · bulk · hold · review, with the reasoning shown so you can trust it or overrule it.
Profit
Revenue is vanity. Profit is the point.
Curio shows what you actually keep after eBay's final value fee, postage and the hours you put in — down to profit-per-hour — and exports a clean CSV whenever you need it.
- Landed cost in: what you paid, allocated across the cards.
- Every sale netted automatically: sale price minus real eBay fees and postage.
- Time counted, so you get profit-per-hour — the number that tells you whether singles, bundles or bulk actually pay.
- One-click CSV of clean records for your accountant or your own books.
Inventory & fulfilment
From a shoebox to a system.
Every card gets a location and a SKU, so you can find it in seconds, pack a batch from a sorted pick list, and never mis-ship again.
- Assign a home: shelf, box, row, position — set before it goes live.
- Unique SKU maps the right physical card to the right listing.
- Sorted pick lists ordered by location, with image verification.
- Royal Mail-aware postage that keeps singles in the Large Letter band.
- Returns restock the card and adjust your numbers automatically.
Condition
Evidence you can see. Not a grade you can't trust.
Curio points out the corners, edges and surface marks that affect a card's condition, and lets you confirm it. It won't pretend to be a grading company — because no app should.
- Region-level evidence across corners, edges, surface and centering.
- You confirm the condition (Near Mint, Lightly Played, Moderately Played).
- Simple capture guidance for photos that give the assessment something real to work with.
- Accurate condition means fewer returns, better feedback, repeat buyers.
Buying Coming soon
Know your max buy price before you bid.
The selling side of Curio tells you what a card earns. The buying side — coming soon — tells you what you can afford to pay for it, and flags the listings worth chasing. We'll never auto-bid or snipe for you; you place the bids.
What Curio is
A decision, operations and profit tool for active UK sellers — the whole selling loop in one place.
What it isn't
A grading service, a collector portfolio, a marketplace, or tax software. We're honest about the edges so you know exactly what you're getting.
See it on your own cards.
Bring in a batch and watch it sort itself into decisions and real profit.
