Crazy Porgie, Where the Deals are Insane!
Porg Depot is happy to announce our latest tool…
Potential Top Deals List
Geared towards those that are interested in getting the best deals around the PORGtential Top Deals List (aka Potential Deal List) shows the top 20 cards sorted by how much of a potential “discount” or savings there currently is for each card when comparing TCGPlayer’s lowest listed price including shipping vs. the current market price and .
Why is this only “potential” deals? Well a card’s listing prices could be lower than its market price because the card is trending on the way down and the low listings are just an indicator of where the TCGPlayer suggested market price is headed. However it could be simply a bargain deal and something worth jumping on.
The Free Shipping Factor
The TCGPlayer lowest listing price cannot determine what may or may not be in your cart from a given seller. Potential free shipping then is not part of the calculation. A $0.01 card with $1.00 of shipping would technically be cheaper on this deal list than a $0.50 card with $1.00 of shipping but potential of free shipping.
Note: The web sort on TCGPlayer does list cards with potential free shipping first so the $0.50 card would show up higher on their web interface list than the technically cheaper $0.01 listing for the same card.
Cost?
Negative. This new tool has a version that is free for everyone and the data is set to refresh daily at ~1-2am EST.
Need more frequent updates? Porg Depot Patron Tier 2 and higher that are logged onto Porg Depot via Patron will see hourly pricing updates. (Plus at Tier 2 you also get the Daily Market Report email and removal of ads on the site.)
Full disclosure, also of note is that the links to cards on the Potential Deal List use a Porg Depot affiliate link to TCGPlayer. No additional cost is incurred by the buyer. The link is provided both for convenience to the users of the tool and also as a method to help subsidize hosting costs of the Porg Depot website. If you use them, cool, and if not, that’s fine too.
Future Enhancements
Version one of the Potential Top Deals List contains data for Legendary and Rare cards that are base and hyperspace versions. Foils, Prestige, Serialized, Exclusives, Promos, etc. are currently not included. We will look to include these other variants plus showcase leaders in future versions of this tool.
Also looking into filtering, sorting, and additional quality of life options.
