How MiniPrintPal works
Your collection, wants and spares
Mark the prints you own and the ones you want. For each print you choose how many to keep; anything beyond that is a spare, and your spares are your trade list. Lock a print if you'll never trade it.
Matching
Every few minutes we look for collectors who have spares you want and want spares you have, and suggest a balanced swap. You can also browse who has a spare of any print and make an offer yourself. Want “any version” of a print, or only one exact version: your call.
Trading safely
- Your address is encrypted and only shown to a partner after you both accept, then deleted 60 days after the trade.
- The newer trader ships first; equal tiers ship at the same time. New traders add a timestamp photo of rare prints they offer, and a photo of the envelope going into the mailbox. Tracking is always optional.
- Feedback is double-blind: neither rating shows until you've both rated, or 14 days pass.
- If something goes wrong, open a dispute from the trade. A moderator reviews every one.
- Report and block are on every profile and conversation.
Machines
The map shows every machine from the community sheet, plus stock reports from collectors. Reports fade after a few weeks, so a quick “still accurate” tap helps everyone. Check in when you visit to unlock achievements.
Wants near home show up on their own: when a machine near you has a print you want, we tell you. For the ones you're really after, turn on a stock alert from your want list and we'll tell you when it turns up in any machine, or in the store.
The store
Established traders can sell spares for $1 or $2 each, plus up to $1 shipping per order (until the launch month ends, anyone with 3 completed trades or MiniPrintPal+ can sell). Buyers pay the seller directly with Venmo or PayPal, and MiniPrintPal keeps track of the order: paid, shipped, received, rated. MiniPrintPal never holds your money and takes no cut. Sellers who take payment and don't ship get a strike.
Where the catalog comes from
The catalog is built from the community's shared spreadsheet and checked every 30 minutes, then improved by collectors' suggestions. MiniPrintPal is an independent fan project, not made by or affiliated with Inciardi Prints. Print artwork belongs to its artists; if you're a rights holder and want an image removed, email us and we'll take it down.
