PRIVATE OUTCOMES
CurrentSold prices aren’t public.
When an item sells, the final price stays between buyer and seller — not the internet.
- Only buyer + seller see the final price.
- No public price history pressure.
- Discreet by design.
●No bidding wars · Private outcomes · Buying is subjective

How it works (quick)
NO BIDDING WARS
Step 2One sealed offer — no sniping, no drama.
Buyers submit a confidential offer. They can’t see competing offers, so value stays calm and genuine.
- No public outbidding.
- No last-second sniping.
- Buying is subjective — value isn’t always “highest bid wins”.
THE DEADLINE
Step 3Envelopes open together (seller view).
At the deadline, the seller sees offers and chooses the buyer they want to deal with.
- Offers arrive under the same conditions.
- Highest offer does NOT auto-win.
- Seller chooses within 2 hours (or marks no sale).
PREMIUM STOREFRONTS

Premium storefronts are curated. Retailers present stock with a branded shop page and receive sealed offers with private outcomes.
- Curated + approved to protect trust.
- Brand control: logo, banner, policies.
- Confidential outcomes by default.
