Where your sales really come from
To know what really sells in your card game store, don't look at the month's total: break revenue down by game, by set and by card. It's easy to think you already know — until you look up close. A healthy-looking total hides where the money is actually born, and which part of the traffic just adds volume without holding up the register.
Rune lets you dig into your sales from the top down: from the game (Magic, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh) to the set, and from the set to the single card. You see clearly where your revenue comes from, and you stop buying and setting up your display case on a hunch.
The total hides the truth
Looking only at the month's revenue is like looking at a full shelf: it seems like everything's going great, but it doesn't tell you what to do. A category can look fine overall while one single set carries the whole thing, and the rest just takes up space and ties up cash.
Without digging into the detail, you restock and build your display case on a guess, not on what actually moves in your shop.
How Rune lets you explore
You start with the overview and drill down: pick the game, see which sets pull the weight, and inside each set see which cards actually sell. Every level answers a practical question, where to invest more, what to feature up front, what isn't worth restocking.
- Start with the game and drill down to the single card
- See which set carries your revenue
- Find the standout card inside each set
Deciding on what actually sells
Once you know where the sales come from, buying gets sharp: you double down on what pulls, feature what moves, and stop parking cash in what only pads the numbers. That's the difference between a shop that bets in the dark and one that puts money into what has already proven it sells.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know what sells most in my card game store?
Break revenue into three levels — by game, by set and by card — instead of looking at the month's total. The total hides the concentration: it's usually a handful of items holding up most of the register, while the rest just adds volume. Rune builds that breakdown from your own sales, with no report to assemble.
Do I have to build a report to see this?
No. You upload your sales export from LigaMagic and Rune organizes it all so you can browse it, from the game down to the single card, with no spreadsheet or manual report.
Does it work for more than one game?
Yes. Rune keeps Magic, Pokemon, and Yu-Gi-Oh separate and lets you explore each one on its own, without mixing the numbers.
Isn't this the same as seeing what's dead stock?
It's the other side of the coin. Here you see what drives sales so you can invest more; the dead stock view shows where your money is stuck. Together they tell you where to put cash and where to pull it out.
