How to Use Odhinbox Sell Lists to Organize Your Card Lots

Selling a bulk lot sounds easy until you’re the one doing it. You have 200 cards on the desk, a buyer asks “what’s in it, exactly?”, and suddenly you’re photographing piles, typing card names into a message and hoping nobody asks about the fourteenth card from the left.

I got tired of that, so I started building my own lots as sell lists in Odhinbox. The idea is simple: put the lot together once, check it, then send the buyer a link instead of a wall of text. This guide walks through how I do it with a 200-card Magic lot, but nothing in it is specific to Magic. The same steps work for a 100-card pack or a box of Pokémon bulk.

Before you start: set the rules for your lot

Do this on the desk, before you touch the app. A lot is easy to describe when it follows rules, and buyers trust rules. Mine are boring on purpose:

• 200 cards (or 100 for the smaller packs)

• Near Mint condition only

• No duplicates, no tokens, no basic lands

• Roughly 60% commons and 40% uncommons

Write yours down, whatever they are. They end up in the list description later, and they stop you from “just adding one more” at midnight.

Step 1: Create the sell list

Open Odhinbox, go to your lists and create a new one. Set the type to a sell list, so it’s clear this is stock you’re offering and not a wishlist or a trade binder.

Then name it like a product. I use a pattern I can read at a glance, something like Lote 200 Cartas Magic MTG - Pack 6. (Lote is just Portuguese for lot.) What it is, how many cards, which game, and a pack number. The pack number matters more than it sounds. By your third or fourth lot you’ll be glad you didn’t call everything “Bulk”.

Add two tags: toSell and bulk. Tags are how you, and anyone browsing community lists, find lots like this later. Paste your rules from the previous section into the description.

Step 2: Add the cards

Now the long part. There are two ways to get cards in, and I use both.

Search. Find the card in the TCG browser, open its page and add it to your list. Pick the right printing, because the same card can exist in a dozen sets, and fill in quantity, condition, language and foil status. The set, rarity, colour and type filters help when you’re hunting for something specific.

Scan. On the mobile app, the scanner reads the card name with OCR, which is much faster than typing when you have a whole stack in front of you. Check each result before you confirm it, mostly because of reprints.

One small tip: add cards in the same order they sit on the desk. If you sorted the pile by set, add it by set. Nothing is worse than losing your place at card 140.

Step 3: Check the lot before anyone sees it

Before you share anything, do a dull but important pass. Count the cards in the list and compare the total with the physical stack. Make sure nothing slipped in that breaks your rules: a duplicate, a token, a basic land you added out of habit. Then spot check a handful of cards for condition.

I treat this as a test run, which is probably the QA engineer in me talking. Finding your own mistake takes ten seconds. Having a buyer find it takes a message thread and an awkward apology.

Step 4: Price the lot

Odhinbox shows market prices next to your cards, so you can see roughly what the lot is worth card by card. With bulk, that number is mostly a sanity check. Commons and uncommons are worth cents, and what you’re really selling is the fact that the buyer doesn’t have to sort them.

So I look at the total, then price the lot for the time it saves. Put the final price in the description, say plainly what’s included, and keep your lots consistent so buyers know what to expect from the next one.

Step 5: Share it

Every list gets a shareable link and a QR code, and the person on the other end doesn’t need an account to open it. That is the whole point. Put the link in your listing or your message, and the buyer can see every card in the lot, exactly as you described it.

I use it with my Vinted listings: the photos and the price are in the listing, and the list link answers “what’s in it?” before anyone asks. If you post the lot, you could also print the QR code and slip it into the parcel, so the buyer can find the list again.

Lists can also be public, in which case they show up in the community lists. That’s where the toSell and bulk tags earn their keep.

Habits that make the next lot easier

• Number your packs. Pack 4, Pack 5, Pack 6. You’ll always know which one a buyer is talking about.

• Keep the rules identical. Same condition, same mix, same exclusions. Buyers learn what to expect.

• Reuse your description. Write it once, then copy it into every new lot and change the numbers.

• Keep the list honest. If you pull a card out of the physical lot, take it out of the list too, so the list never lies.

That’s it

Once you’ve built one lot this way, the second goes noticeably faster. If you try it and a step feels clumsy, tell me. Lists are one of the parts of Odhinbox I use the most, so I tend to notice when they get in the way.

Happy selling.
