Custom Inventory Management Systems for Retro Video Game Resellers
Stop losing hours to manual listings and guessing at profit margins. HEX TOYS builds custom inventory systems with fast scanning APIs, automated multi-platform listing workflows, and real-time margin tracking — designed specifically for retro game resellers.
The reseller problem
Manual listing is killing your margins
Typing out titles, descriptions, and prices for hundreds of cartridges and discs per week eats hours that should go to sourcing.
Inconsistent pricing across platforms
eBay, Etsy, Discord, and in-person sales all need different pricing. Spreadsheets break. Profit leaks.
No real-time profit visibility
You bought a sealed copy for £12 and sold it for £45 — but after fees, shipping, and marketplace cuts, did you actually make money?
Inventory scattered across tools
Stock lives in a Google Sheet, photos on a phone, listings on eBay, sales data in Stripe. Nothing talks to anything.
What we build
A complete reseller inventory system with scanning, listing, and profit tracking built in.
Barcode & Catalogue Scanning API
Scan any retro game barcode or search by platform + title. Auto-pulls title, publisher, release year, and cover art from game databases. Works with phone camera or USB scanner.
One-Click Multi-Platform Listings
Generate optimised listings for eBay, Etsy, and your own store simultaneously. Platform-specific titles, descriptions, and pricing rules — all from a single scan.
Real-Time Profit Tracking
Every sale tracks buy price, sell price, platform fees, shipping costs, and net margin. See exactly which titles and platforms are making you money.
Dynamic Pricing Engine
Pulls sold listing data and current market prices. Suggests optimal listing price based on condition, completeness, and platform demand.
Condition-Graded Inventory
CIB, cartridge-only, sealed, manual-only — track every variant. Photo management tied to each condition grade with before/after restoration shots.
Mobile-First Scanner App
Source at car boot sales, conventions, and trade counters. Scan, check market value, decide to buy — all from your phone before you commit.
Built with modern technology
