Viewing Pricing Insights
See your portfolio value, per-card prices, and ask Vault Agent to find buying opportunities.
Overview
RocketVault surfaces pricing insights in three places:
- Dashboard — portfolio value, P&L, actions queue
- Card Detail — per-card price, source, suggested list price, and price history
- Vault Agent — ask "find me deals on X" and the agent scans live eBay listings priced below verified market value
This guide walks through each. For the underlying pricing pipeline (RocketVault Pricing Database vs. eBay comps vs. smart rules), see Pricing Data Sources.
Dashboard insights
The Dashboard is your home base for portfolio-level pricing. Open it from the sidebar (it's the default route, /).
KPI band
The top-of-page KPI band shows four numbers at a glance:
- Portfolio Value — total estimated market value of every card you own
- Unrealized P&L — net profit/loss on cards with a recorded cost basis, plus a coverage % so you know how complete the number is
- Listed (Active) — count and combined value of your live eBay listings
- Sold · 30D — revenue from sold cards in the last 30 days, with a trend % vs. the prior period
Actions queue
The Actions Queue is a count-and-CTA list of work that needs your attention right now: cards flagged for review, cards ready to list, sell-now signals, hot deals to buy (click through to Vault Agent for the full list), and price drop alerts on active listings.
Free vs. paid
Free plan users see an upgrade banner instead of the full dashboard. P&L, AI insights, and risk reports unlock on Collector ($14.99/mo) and above.
Card-level pricing details
On any card's detail page, you can see:
- Market Price — current estimated value
- Price Source — RocketVault Pricing, eBay comps, or Smart Rules (see Pricing Data Sources)
- Suggested List Price — recommended selling price
- Price History — past price changes for the card
- PSA 9 / PSA 10 comps — graded comp prices, shown when available; also feeds the Grading Assistant for net-EV calculations
Refresh vs. reprocess
Two distinct actions both update prices, but they do different things:
| Action | What it does | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| Refresh Pricing | Re-fetches market price using current identification | Price is stale, but card identity is correct |
| Reprocess | Re-runs full AI (OCR + identification + pricing) | Card was misidentified, so the price is wrong because the identity is wrong |
Both are available from the card detail page and from the bulk-action toolbar on the Cards page.
Understanding price sources
| Source | Description |
|---|---|
| RocketVault Pricing | Primary source — real market values, continuously updated |
| eBay Market | Median price from recent eBay sales and listings (fallback when not in primary DB) |
| Smart Rules | Rule-based estimate when no market data exists; lower confidence |
For the full pipeline including confidence levels and manual overrides, see Pricing Data Sources.
Finding deals — ask Vault Agent
Deal-finding is conversational now. Open Vault Agent in the sidebar and ask in plain English:
- "Find me deals on Patrick Mahomes rookies under $200"
- "Best deals on 2023 Topps Chrome right now"
- "Any underpriced Ohtani autos I should grab?"
Vault Agent scans live eBay listings in the background, then surfaces a stack of rich deal cards inside the chat — each with a thumbnail, the listing title, the price, a deal-score badge (Strong / Decent / Borderline), a one-line "why it's a deal" reason, and a View on eBay button that opens the listing in a new tab.
What the agent will do
- Translate your wording into filters (player, max price, sport, rookies-only, etc.)
- Scan eBay for live listings priced below verified RocketVault Pricing fair value
- Run an image-verification pass on the top results to filter out wrong cards
- Filter the raw candidates again — discard listings it judges as overpriced for the parallel/grade, wrong card, bad condition, etc., and explain borderline cuts
- Render the surviving deals as cards so you can click straight through to buy
What each deal card shows
- Deal Score (0–100) with a colored badge — Strong (70+), Decent (50–69), Borderline (under 50)
- Title — the eBay listing title verbatim
- Price — listing price; shipping if non-zero; max-buy ceiling
- Condition — RAW vs the specific grade tier the comp was anchored against
- Why it's a deal — a one-line rationale (e.g. "Listed 40% under PSA 9 fair value of $200")
- Low-evidence flag — when comp data is thin
- View on eBay — affiliate-aware link straight to the listing
Comp accuracy depends on listing accuracy
Deal scores are calculated from the listing title and eBay's Parallel/Variety fields. If a seller miscategorizes a base card as a parallel, or leaves "PSA 10" out of the title, our comp will be wrong and the discount number will not reflect reality. Always click the listing, verify the photos and seller's description, and check recent sold comps before you buy.
Free-tier preview
Free plan users get a 3-result preview on deal queries, capped at 3 queries per month. Upgrade to Collector ($14.99/mo) or higher for unlimited deal-finding inside Vault Agent.
Profit & loss tracking
RocketVault tracks your buying and selling activity:
- Cost basis — what you paid for cards (entered manually or from purchase records)
- Sold price — what cards sold for on eBay
- Profit/Loss — per-card and portfolio-level P&L on the dashboard
- Cash flow — track revenue and net profit over the last 30 days
Add cost basis on the card detail page or in bulk from the Cards page so the P&L number on your dashboard is accurate.
Export pricing data
Export your card data — including all pricing fields — as CSV from the Cards page. See CSV Export for the full column list and what's included. CSV export requires the Collector plan or above.
Common Questions
Why are some cards showing different prices than what I see on eBay? RocketVault uses median pricing from multiple data sources. Individual eBay listings may be priced above or below market. Our pricing aims to reflect fair market value, not the cheapest or most expensive listing.
Can I track prices over time? Yes — card detail pages show price history. At the portfolio level, the dashboard shows portfolio value over time and 30-day cash flow trends.
How accurate is the agent's deal-finding? Vault Agent shows cards priced below verified market value, but always verify before buying. Check the listing photos, seller ratings, and shipping costs — and confirm the listing actually matches the parallel and grade we matched against. The agent will discard candidates it judges as wrong-card or wrong-condition before surfacing the cards, but the final call is yours.
What does "low evidence" mean? Some cards have limited recent sales data. When that happens, the analysis is flagged as "low evidence" with an explanation, and confidence scores are lower.
