The complete journey
Trade is
a loop.
Discovery is only the beginning. The Trading Block connects objects, people and structured negotiation so every step keeps its context.
01
Own.
Start with a coherent vault.
Add an item through a guided category flow. Product families keep variants—shoe sizes, phone storage, colour and vehicle trim—together while each physical listing retains its own condition, photos, ask and provenance.
02
Want.
Describe intent without forcing a rigid pair.
A want can identify a product, family, category or value band. Those signals improve discovery without pretending they guarantee a valuation or a perfectly reciprocal trade.
03
Match.
Open a directional route.
The matching system compares owned listings and wants, then explains why a route appeared. Inspect both objects and both collector profiles before starting a conversation.
04
Talk.
Keep the room connected to the listing.
Unread state, mentions, presence and realtime updates keep messages attached to the people and objects that started them.
05
Offer.
Make the proposed exchange explicit.
Select items, include optional cash, review both sides, then send. The recipient can accept, decline or counter. Every counter creates a new reviewable version.
06
Complete.
Carry context into the deal.
Accepted offers create a deal with structured milestones. Payment, shipping, inspection and identity actions appear only when their configured providers can support them safely.
