Why rareOS

Built for buy, sell, trade not generic retail.

When inventory is mostly one-of-a-kind, off-the-shelf POS slows you down. rareOS pairs AI intake with a single source of truth so intake, the floor, and the back office stay aligned.

  • Built by shop owners

    Founded by people who worked the floor: intake, trade-ins, and reporting reflect real BST workflows, not supermarket POS defaults.

  • Made for collectibles

    Games, cards, comics, and vintage SKUs with workflows big-box POS never prioritized: multi-item intake, trade credit, and catalogs that do not fit one barcode per row.

  • Cloud you can trust

    Hosted infrastructure built for reliability when Saturdays spike and every location needs the same numbers.

Pricing

Enterprise technology. Small business pricing.

One simple plan. No monthly subscription, no platform tax to start.

Monthly fee

$0/month

Plus standard credit-card processing fees

No subscription. No platform tax to start. Pay only on what you sell, with the processor of your choice.

Access and availability depend on syncing your rareOS inventory online with rareDepot when it launches.

FAQ

Questions shop owners ask.

What is the best point of sale system for buy-sell-trade shops?

A strong buy-sell-trade POS needs intake, offers, trade credit, one-of-a-kind inventory, staff controls, payments, and reporting in one workflow. rareOS is built around those store operations instead of generic retail checkout.

Does rareOS work for pawn shops, resale stores, and collectible retailers?

Yes. rareOS is built for stores that buy from customers and resell unique inventory, including buy-sell-trade, pawn, resale, game, card, comic, vintage, and collectible retailers.

Is rareOS available today?

rareOS is in private beta, now onboarding new shops in small batches to keep quality high. Sign up and we'll reach out when we have capacity for your store.

Do I have to use rarePay?

No. Use rarePay and pay only standard payment-processing fees, or bring your own merchant account and keep your existing rates.

Will rareOS replace my existing POS?

Yes. rareOS is designed to be the entire register, intake, inventory, and reporting system for buy/sell/trade shops. We work with you on a smooth migration plan during onboarding.

When will rareDepot launch?

rareDepot is still in development and is not yet available in production. Marketplace timing, fees, and eligibility are not final. Everything described is forward-looking.

How does the AI intake work?

Shoot one item or a whole pile in frame. AI drafts each line with titles, categories, and suggested sell bands from major marketplaces. You confirm instead of typing every SKU.

Do you support multiple locations?

Yes. Manage every store, employee, and report from one dashboard. Volume and multi-entity arrangements are part of the Enterprise tier.
