the selling angle will be interesting. it's going to take a slightly different form to other marketplaces. plunda will act as a custodian of all collectibles (but potentially down the line also partner with some highly trusted sellers) so anyone selling collectibles via plunda will first need to ship them all to the plunda.co HQ for processing, photographing and grading.
so taking your Amazon example a step further, plunda will essentially offer a comprehensive Amazon-esque fulfilment service for collectibles. Or something like that. The idea being to offer a much more comprehensive service than legacy marketplaces like eBay, while keeping fees competitive with said legacy marketplaces. So it'll hopefully be an attractive alternative. However, there's some real trust required there, so it might take some time to build up a strong and trust-worthy reputation.
users will be able to deposit their collectibles for sale via plunda at the end of the first quarter of 2026 (hopefully). v excited to get the ball rolling with that. in the mean time all collectibles will be listed by me and are supplied to me via some trusted coin dealers who i'm partnered with. that way I can seed the marketplace with 1000s of collectibles to get the ball rolling too, and also sell them via eBay to keep things ramen profitable until the plunda marketplace takes off.
but yeah, also a ton of fun loot features to build, and collector facing features too! but most of those will wait until there's a few more users who can be my sample set and provide feedback.
