The CompIQ Alliance
Your counter sells cards every day. No price tool has ever seen it.
Every tool you’ve ever paid for tracks eBay and the auction houses. So do we. The only sale no tool can see is the one that crosses your counter — and that’s the one we weight highest.
The CompIQ Alliance is hobby shops banding together to fix that. Members send anonymous sale lines — just the card, the price, the date — and the alliance turns real counter sales into sharper pricing for every shop in it. The shops that join now aren’t customers; they’re the shops that built the index.
You send
Anonymous sale lines — card, price, date. Connected once, sent automatically. You never touch it.

- The full pricing engine — every major online marketplace plus the alliance’s verified store sales, weighted above eBay.
- Your own dashboard— your sellthrough vs. the alliance’s. Know what’s hot before you restock.
- The provenance line— every comp shows why the number is right, including “N verified store sales.”
How the engine weighs a sale
Store sales carry the highest weight in the engine.
The Data Covenant
Six nevers, all structural
An alliance only works if no member can be used against another. Every promise below is structural, not a policy — not “we won’t,” but “the system can’t.”
Never your store name
Sales enter the pool with no origin attached; a comp can't be traced to a shop, even by us.
Never your customers
There is literally no field to send customer data; the API schema has no name, email, or address anywhere.
Never your costs or margins
Never collected — no field exists.
Never your inventory
Only completed sales, nothing else.
Never resold or shown with your identity
Only blended aggregates, ever.
Never used to compete against you
Collector Station's own sales enter the pool by the same anonymizing mechanism, under the same covenant.
Disconnect anytime — the feed stops immediately.
How it works — 3 steps, 5 minutes
Connect once — about 5 minutes
Shopify or Square: connect your store once and you're done. No exports, no uploads, nothing to remember. Everything else gets a one-time CSV while we build your connector.
90 days load automatically
The first sync backfills your last 90 days of sales on its own, then it just runs — background sync plus real-time.
Your dashboard lights up
Your inventory priced by the full engine, your sellers vs. the alliance's, and comps that carry the line no eBay-only tool can print: “N verified store sales.”
