Built by a Dad and Son Who Got Tired
of Paying Resale
RipAlert started at our home in Houston, TX. We kept getting beat by bots and resellers trying to buy Pokemon cards for our son at retail price. I got the chance to buy retail as a kid, so we built something to give that retail experience back to the next Pokemon generation.
Our Mission
We believe every collector deserves a fair shot at buying what they love at retail price. Not $130 for a $50 box. Not refreshing pages at 2am hoping to get lucky.
RipAlert gives the rip community real-time alerts, AI card valuation, and the tools to compete — without needing to be a tech wizard or a reseller with bots.

How It Works
Step 01 — We Watch
RipAlert monitors Pokémon Center, Target, Walmart, Best Buy, GameStop and more every few minutes around the clock.
Step 02 — You Get Alerted
The moment something restocks you get a Discord ping and email alert with a direct link to buy.
Step 03 — 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 you open a pack and know instantly if you hit or not.

RipAlert is 100% family owned and operated from Houston, TX. When you support RipAlert you're supporting a dad teaching his son that you can build something from scratch to solve a real problem.
Rip Retail. Not Resale.
