About Pullnomics

Pullnomics is a price utility for Pokémon TCG collectors. Every eBay listing on the site is shown next to its TCGplayer market price, shipping included, and ranked by how far below market it actually is. Nothing here is a deal because a seller says so.

Why it exists

eBay search sorts by relevance, time or price, never by value. A $38 Charizard ex looks the same as a $58 one until you open TCGplayer in another tab, add shipping, and check the condition. Sellers’ crossed-out “was” prices are whatever they typed in, and most deal sites simply repost them. We wanted a single feed sorted by the number that matters: how far the landed price sits below an independent market price. So we built one.

How it works

  • Catalog. 182 sets and 26,149 cards, from Base through 30th Celebration, plus booster boxes, Elite Trainer Boxes, bundles and packs. Market prices for every printing and variant (Normal, Holofoil, Reverse Holofoil) are refreshed daily from TCGplayer via TCGCSV.
  • Listings. Every 15 minutes the eBay Browse API is queried for new Pokémon singles and sealed products. Titles are parsed for set, number, variant and condition, then matched against the catalog with a confidence score. Lots, proxies, code cards, “you pick” menus and other noise are dropped.
  • Scoring. Item price plus shipping is compared with the market price for that exact printing, adjusted for stated condition. Listings at least 12% below adjusted market get a Deal Score from 0 to 100, weighted by confidence and, for auctions, by the chance the price still rises. The full formula is on the methodology page.
  • Sealed EV. For boxes and bundles we compute expected pull value from published pull rates and current singles prices, so the Open or Hold board shows which products are worth opening at today’s prices and which are only worth holding.

What Pullnomics is not

  • Not a marketplace. We never hold inventory, take payment or ship anything. Every purchase happens on eBay under eBay’s terms and buyer protection.
  • Not a price guide. Market prices are TCGplayer’s, republished through TCGCSV; we add the comparison, not the baseline.
  • Not a grading service, and graded cards are not scored yet. PSA, CGC and BGS listings are displayed with their grade, but until we have a sold-price baseline for graded copies they do not receive a Deal Score.
  • Not affiliated with The Pokémon Company, Nintendo, Creatures, GAME FREAK, eBay or TCGplayer. See the terms.

How it is funded

Pullnomics is an eBay Partner Network affiliate. When you click “View on eBay” and buy, eBay pays a small commission out of its own fee; the price you pay is unchanged. Commission has no influence on ranking: deals are ordered by Deal Score, which is computed from prices alone, and a listing with no affiliate tag is scored exactly like one with it. Display advertising may appear on some pages. There are no paid placements, no sponsored deals and no seller partnerships.

Who runs it

Pullnomics is an independent, collector-run project: one operator plus the automation described above. Matching is done by rules and statistics, so it is occasionally wrong; when a listing is matched to the wrong card, the “deal” is wrong too. Every card page has a report link and we tune the exclusion rules weekly. Questions, corrections and takedown requests go through the contact page.

Where to start

  • Live deals, sorted by Deal Score and filterable by price, condition and format.
  • Sealed EV board: expected value per box, ETB and bundle for every current set.
  • Deal Check: paste any eBay listing and get its score before you bid.
  • Free alerts: an email when the card you want drops below the price you set.
