How to build your restock list without blowing your cash
Restocking is where a shop makes or loses money. Buy too much of what doesn't move and your cash sits frozen on the shelf; buy too little of what sells and you lose the sale to an empty slot. The squeeze is always the same: the budget is tight and the options are endless.
Rune starts from how much you can spend and builds the list of what to restock first — leading with the cards that actually move, and fitting as many items as it can inside your budget. You buy with a plan instead of a gut feeling.
The trouble with buying on instinct
In the day-to-day rush, restocking happens from memory: you grab whatever caught your eye, whatever the distributor pushed, or whatever ran out last. The result is cash locked up in cards that don't sell, and empty slots on the ones that did.
It's not that you don't want to get it right — what's missing is a list that respects your budget and starts with what genuinely moves.
How Rune builds your buy list
You tell it how much you can spend. Rune looks at what's about to run out and what's moving, puts the cards that matter most to your cash flow first, leaves out the ones that neither sell nor move, and fills the list to fit as many different cards as it can inside your budget. The list is yours to adjust, copy, and take to your supplier.
- You set the budget; the list stays inside it
- Leads with what moves and pays the bills
- Leaves out what neither sells nor moves
- Editable, copyable, and ready to take to the supplier
What the list is (and what it isn't)
The list tells you WHAT to restock first and HOW MUCH fits your cash, using the price your cards already carry in your own stock as the reference. It's a restock guide with a plan behind it — not a table of what to pay your supplier (you negotiate that on the spot) and not an automatic order: the buying stays in your hands.
Frequently asked questions
Does Rune place the order for me?
No. It builds the list of what to restock inside your budget, leading with what moves. You adjust it, copy it, and take it to your supplier — the buying is yours.
Does the list tell me what to pay for each card?
It uses the price your cards already carry in your own stock as a reference so everything fits the budget. The real purchase price you negotiate with your supplier — the list is the guide for what to prioritize, not a cost sheet.
How does it decide what comes first?
It leads with what moves and pays the bills, leaves out what neither sells nor moves, and fits as many different cards as it can into what you're able to spend.
