One ledger for card dealers, from the scan to the margin

Back-office software for card dealers: scan a stack, price it against the market, label it, and see your margin.

The situation: Card dealers run their business across a phone camera roll, a pricing site, a spreadsheet and a marketplace account. Every card gets typed in more than once, and nobody can say what a show weekend actually made.
The constraint: Dealers work standing at a table with a line of customers. Anything slower than a glance loses the deal, and anything that can't export its data won't be trusted with a dealer's inventory.
Why this approach: Generic inventory tools don't know what a card is; collector apps don't know what a margin is. Machete Cards treats card identity, market price and cost basis as one record, so the ledger stays true from the scan to the sale.
