PSA Pokemon Card Arbitrage

pkmnbot

Get alerted to PSA graded card auctions selling 20%+ below market, moments before they close.

If you’re already buying PSA cards on eBay, you know the deals are there, but the problem is you can’t watch every auction. pkmnbot takes care of that for you. Members who bid systematically report returns that comfortably cover their monthly subscription.

// how it works

From alert to winning bid in minutes.

pkmnbot scans eBay US and Canada live from 5pm–1am EST. When a PSA graded card hits your discount threshold with minutes left on the clock, you get an instant Telegram alert with everything you need — the card, the grade, the cert, the current bid, and the PSA market average. From there you have a 3–5 minute window to place your bid.

// membership tiers

Choose your tier

Three tiers, each with a fixed number of seats and a dedicated discount band. No two members in the same tier compete for the same card — every seat receives its own unique alert. Higher tiers are built for buyers with more capital to deploy. The deeper the discount band, the more each deal moves the needle on your monthly returns.

The waitlist

Seats are limited by design. When a seat opens up, it goes to the best applicant on the waitlist, not necessarily the first. See What makes a strong applicant? in the FAQ for what that means.

  • Joining the waitlist is free and non-binding.
  • When a seat opens, waitlisted applicants are contacted in order of fit and intent.
  • Monthly pricing is fixed at the tier’s listed rate. No surprises.

Common questions


Monthly fees are collected via Stripe at the start of each billing cycle. There’s a 3-day grace period if payment is late, and alerts are paused during that window. Seats that remain unpaid after 3 days are released.
PSA 8, 9, and 10. Primarily English-language cards, with some exceptions.
The goal is a small group of serious, long-term clients. Some prospective clients may not benefit from pkmnbot as much as others. A deal where a client can’t realistically maximize their return isn’t in anyone’s interest. The application is a chance to screen for that fit. When a seat opens, preference goes to applicants who demonstrate they’ll use the tool actively and treat it as a real investment.

Two things: capital and availability.

Availability

  • —pkmnbot runs live 5pm–1am EST, peak activity 8–10pm EST

  • —Champion: $10,000/mo

These thresholds exist to ensure you can generate a meaningful return on your subscription.

Each seat receives its own unique alert, so no two clients in the same tier compete for the same card. Seat limits exist so every client gets consistent, high-quality signal and so relationships stay manageable on both sides.
Yes. When a seat opens in a higher tier, existing clients get priority over waitlisted applicants, as long as they’re in good standing, meaning paying on time and maintaining a professional working relationship. Reach out and we’ll work it out.
Yes. Seats are revoked for non-payment. You retain access through the end of your billing period. Unprofessional behaviour is also grounds for removal.
Billing is month-to-month. Cancel anytime before your next cycle and you won’t be charged again. No lock-in, no refund requests needed.
