Buy, sell, or trade. The platform treats them equally.
Most marketplaces treat trading as a feature bolted on. SlapSwap was designed around the trade primitive from the start, with the same protections and fairness, with mode-appropriate dispute resolution across all three.
Buy
Browse listings, make an offer, or buy outright. Every order carries the same protections and dispute resolution as a trade.
- Search and filter across every category
- Watch items and get wantlist-match alerts
- Seller handle, grade, and cert on every listing
Sell
List individual items across every category. The listing form captures grading service, grade, cert number, format, and price.
- List in minutes from any catalog item
- Choose fixed price or trade eligibility
- Manage every listing from one place
Trade
Propose item-for-item trades, hybrid trades with a cash adjustment, or pure swaps across collections. Trade is a first-class action, not a footnote.
- Offer your listings plus optional cash
- Accept, decline, or counter any proposal
- Trade comics, Pokémon, Magic, and more
Know what is being checked.
SlapSwap checks that routed items match their listings and keeps the handoff documented. It does not replace a grader or creator.
Dallas-based inspection
A partner-led inspection space in Dallas, with chain-of-custody photography on every routed item.
Tiered inspection routing
The model requires inspection on every $2,500+ item and every trade from $1,000+. It is optional below those thresholds. The full schedule is on the fees page.
Clear verification limits
Inspection checks that an item matches its listing. Grading companies and original creators remain the source for authentication.
Documented handoffs
Routed items keep condition notes and chain-of-custody photos together, so a dispute starts with the same evidence for everyone.
Look closer.
