Never Miss a Deal Again
You know the feeling. You’ve been hunting for Amazing Spider-Man #300 at a fair price for months. You check eBay every day, scroll Whatnot, browse Shortboxed — and the one time a deal pops up, someone else grabs it while you were sleeping. CC Wishlist & Alerts fixes that by watching the marketplaces for you, 24/7, and alerting you the moment a matching listing appears under your price.
Build Your Want List in Seconds
Adding items is fast. Type in a title, issue number, and your target price — done. Want more control? Set different price targets per condition tier: maybe you’d pay $500 for a NM copy of that key issue but only $200 for a VF. Choose strict matching for exact title+issue precision, or fuzzy matching that catches abbreviations like “ASM #300,” CGC grade mentions, newsstand editions, and variant keywords. Each item gets its own matching mode, so your grail gets strict and your fill-in issues get fuzzy.
Smart Gap Detection
Already have a run of a series but missing a few issues? The “Import Gaps” feature scans your collection, identifies holes in your issue number sequences, and adds them to your wishlist automatically. If you own Amazing Spider-Man #1-10 but are missing #4 and #7, those get added with one click.
Three Marketplaces, One Dashboard
The plugin monitors eBay (via their official Browse API for active listings), Whatnot (the live-selling platform where comic deals move fast), and Shortboxed (the collector-focused marketplace with Deal of the Day features). Each source runs on its own schedule with polite rate limiting so your monitoring stays reliable long-term. Real-time where possible, scheduled fallback everywhere else.
Alerts That Actually Reach You
Choose your notification channels per wishlist item. Email alerts arrive with full listing details, price comparison against your target, condition detection, match confidence score, and a direct link to buy. Browser push notifications work even when your dashboard is closed. SMS alerts via Twilio hit your phone for the highest-priority wants — the grails you’d drop everything to grab.
Share Your Want List
Every wishlist item is private by default. But if you want trade partners, LCS owners, or convention contacts to see what you’re looking for, toggle items to public and embed your want list on any page with a simple shortcode. They see what you want. You get offered what you need.
What’s Under the Hood
The matching engine scores every potential listing on a 0-100 scale, weighing title accuracy, issue number match, publisher confirmation, variant keywords, and year verification. Condition is auto-detected from listing titles — “CGC 9.8” gets mapped to NM, “VF/NM” gets caught, raw book descriptions get analyzed. Only listings that pass both your match criteria AND your price target trigger alerts, so you don’t get spammed with irrelevant notifications.
Pricing That Makes Sense
One license, unlimited want list items, all three marketplaces included. No per-alert fees, no monthly API charges, no marketplace subscriptions required beyond the plugin license. Your eBay API credentials (free from developer.ebay.com) and optional Twilio account (free trial tier) are the only external setup.
