Rip Retail. Not Resale.
Built by a father and son in Houston, TX
We got tired of watching Pokemon cards we wanted to buy sell out to bots in seconds, then reappear on eBay for 3× the price. My son and I would show up to Target and find empty shelves every time.
So we built the thing we wished existed. RipAlert watches the shelves for you — 24 hours a day. When something restocks at retail price, we tell you immediately. Not after the bots have already bought it all. Immediately.
We're not building this for the flippers. We're building it for families like ours who just want to enjoy the hobby.
— Jesse & son, Houston TX 🤘
How RipAlert Works
We Watch
RipAlert checks Pokémon Center, Target, Walmart, and Best Buy every few minutes — around the clock, every day.
You Get Alerted
The instant something restocks you get a push notification, Discord ping, and email with a direct link to buy at retail.
You Rip Retail
You buy at MSRP — not resale. That's the win.
Meet RipAssist
We also built RipAssist — an AI advisor that identifies any Pokémon card from a photo and tells you what it's worth on TCGPlayer right now. Scan your pulls right after opening a pack and know instantly if you hit.
