Everything you need to know about live trade nights, private deal windows, and how trust works on TradeNight.

01 The basics
What is TradeNight?

Think of your favorite card show trade night, but online. Collectors join a live room, post cards, browse binders, and send trade invites when they want to make a deal. Every confirmed trade gets a trade record.

How is this different from a marketplace?

Marketplaces are static listings you check whenever. TradeNight is a live event—everyone's in the room at the same time. You see a card, you make an offer, you close the deal while the event is still going. It's built for speed, conversation, and that trade-night energy.

Can I start a trade outside an event?

Trade windows are event-first today. Join a live trade night, find the collector in the room, and send a trade invite. The private window is where both sides build the offer. When both accept the current version, the trade record is created automatically.

Do chat messages count as a confirmed trade?

Nope. A deal only counts when both sides review the current offer in a trade window and each accepts. Chat helps collectors talk it through; it does not confirm the trade.

What happens in a private trade window?

It's the 1-on-1 deal space. Each side adds cards and cash, adjusts the offer, shares extra photos or context, and chats until both sides are good. When both collectors accept the current offer, the trade record is created automatically.

What are vouches?

After you mark your incoming cards as received on a trade record, you can leave a vouch for your trade partner. Positive vouches from real trades show the community that you show up, follow through, and deal fair. Your rep grows with every good trade.

What kinds of cards can I trade?

All of it—sports cards, Pokémon, and other TCGs (Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh), vintage to modern, slabs and raw. If you'd bring it to a trade night at your local card shop, it belongs here.

Are there any fees? How do payment and shipping work?

TradeNight is peer-to-peer and takes no cut of your trades — unlike eBay and other marketplaces, there's no per-trade commission or selling fee. You arrange any cash and shipping directly with the other collector, just like you would across the table at a card show. We keep the record; the deal is yours.

Is it free?

Public trade nights are free to join today. Show up, trade, leave. No platform commission on completed trades.
