#1 - Collectable idea
Potential idea
- A collectors companion to help users start collecting (or a new type of collection), manage their collection and to discover (add to their collection).
- This will work with all type of collectables, for example: music, comics, figures
The Problem
- Hidden Items/variants: Collectors don't know about all Items and variations. For example rare regional exclusives or limited editions because there is no single catalogue.
- App Fatigue: Finding rare/older items requires constantly switching between and manually refreshing for example: eBay, Vinted, and Facebook Marketplace.
- Bad Listing Titles: Sellers write vague titles or typos (like "old plastic figure"), making good deals hard to find through regular searches.
Target Audience/Users
- Completionists: Wants to complete specific collections
- Variant Hunters: Want a visual catalogue specifically to discover all releases and print runs they didn't know existed.
- Deal Hunters: Want instant alerts the second a bargain drops on any marketplace.
- Beginners: Need a guided visual catalogue to see what items actually exist and what they should cost.
How It Works
- Master Checklist: Browse a visual catalogue that shows every item and all its variations.
- One-Tap Want List: Save the exact item or variation you are hunting for (shows current listings).
- Multi-Site Scanning: The app continuously searches eBay, Vinted, and Facebook Marketplace in the background—even searching for common seller typos.
