The Pokémon deal app I wanted for myself.

This all started because I was spending far too much time looking for Pokémon deals on eBay. Honestly, it was draining.

I collect Pokémon, but I also treat a lot of it seriously. I like finding raw cards under market that might be worth grading, I like spotting slabs that are priced under market, and I like buying sealed product for my own collection, especially when I can get it under market and hold it long term.

Basically, I love finding a deal.

What I do not like is the constant checking and feeling mentally exhausted by it.

While I was in Japan on holiday with my wife, I was still constantly checking eBay. Not because Japan was boring, obviously, it was amazing. But because I had products in mind that I wanted, some sealed products and graded cards I was after, and I knew they could appear at any time. Or a listing might suddenly drop in price. And I didn't want to miss it.

Then when I got home, I realised I was still doing the same thing. Constantly on eBay, refreshing, checking, wondering if something good had appeared. It was taking up too much time and too much headspace.

So I built DealWatcha.

Now the idea is simple: pick the Pokémon deal channels you care about, and DealWatcha watches for underpriced cards, slabs and sealed products in the background. When something looks under market, it pings you.

That way, you can spend less time refreshing eBay and more time actually enjoying the hobby.
