How to trade Ana Inciardi mini prints safely

1. Set up your spares and wants

Mark the prints you own and how many you want to keep of each. Anything beyond that is a spare and becomes your trade list. Add your wants, either any version of a print or one exact variant. Lock a print if you'll never trade it.

2. Get matched

Every few minutes MiniPrintPal looks for collectors who have spares you want and want spares you have, and suggests a balanced swap. You can also browse who has a spare of any print from its page and make an offer yourself. Each month there are also loop rounds, where collectors swap in a circle so you can get a print even when nobody wants your spare directly.

3. Trade by mail, safely

• Your address is encrypted and only shown to your 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 timestamped photo of rare prints they offer, and a photo of the envelope going into the mailbox.
• Feedback is double-blind: neither rating shows until both traders have rated, or 14 days pass.
• If something goes wrong, open a dispute from the trade and a moderator reviews it.

Buying and selling spares

Established traders can also sell spares in the store. Buyers pay the seller directly by Venmo or PayPal; MiniPrintPal tracks the order but never holds the money.

Trading rare prints

Unicorns and out-of-circulation prints aren't coming out of machines, so a trade or a store spare is the way to get one. Add them to your want list so matching can find a collector with a spare, and turn on a stock alert to hear when one turns up in the store.
