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.
hahah yeah this makes total sense. a family member told me that i've been saying "I just need to do X and then it'll be ready" for a while now. it's all good though, I just need to refactor how loot works a little and then it'll be ready ;)
but joking aside, will defo start focusing on the soft stuff very soon, start getting onto growing out the active user base and zooming in on PMF, and also start making money through a few eBay integration tools i built into the app. excited to see what comes next.
noice! appreciate it, still a few big changes i wanna build but it's getting there! the app still feels quite rough around the edges to me, lots of things i wanna improve. but maybe that feeling never goes away?
ahhh yeasss!! that's cool to hear!
will have a new collection feature coming in the next big update. it'll be a new type of loot: The Coin Album.
you'll be able to build a proper collection with it, by adding assets you own to a digital album. that way you can track missing dates and keep your assets organised inside the album, instead of just having them all mixed up in your assets page.
stay tuned and thanks for the interest 🙂
really appreciate you and your high spirited positivity 👍
I'll do my best, have a solid plan, and avoiding burn out by taking breaks when needed.
yeah those games are a big inspiration. will be leaning a little more into that direction in the next update. excited to get that built.
it'll be interesting to see where things end up with plunda. there's lots of experimenting to do to find a path to solid product market fit, maybe it'll involve some interesting pivots.
they got a whole pile of other loot too, any idea which SN user snagged it?
defo hold onto some of that high ticket elite loot tho, I'll be building some cool sharing features into the app that we can do give aways with!
just released the share button for elite loot
also some other small changes like adding vouchers and credits aggregates to the wallet table and upgrading some internal UI libraries :)
hahaha yeah sure, i can do that tomorrow. would be very generous gifts!
also gunna make all loot shareable with the big upcoming loot update and so you can choose the quantity to share too
it's not a bug but thanks for pointing it out. xmas crackers are not "stackable" loot. they use an inventory space for each one. the voucher that uou claimed was worth 5 crackers. going forwards lots more loot won't stack into a pile. the whole loot/inventory system is getting a big upgrade very soon, WIP!
that's a cool idea hahahah, once the next big release is out gunna start really focusing on that sorta stuff!
was wondering about building some aort of daily or weekly raffle. so you can enter each week and have a chance to win various prizes
are there many ahitcoiners on here tho?
