About AKnght Trade Co.

An Oregon small business built around one idea: trading card product should be easier to find than it is.

Who we are

Collectors first

AKnght Trade Co. is run by an active Pokémon collector and reseller in the Portland area. The business grew out of a simple frustration. Finding sealed product locally usually means driving to a big box store, hoping the shelf is not empty, and settling for whatever is left.

Vending machines solve part of that. Put good product where people already are, keep it stocked, and price it fairly. A coffee shop customer waiting on a drink can grab a pack. A parent can pick up sleeves and toploaders without a separate trip to a hobby store.

The other half is the host business. A machine is meant to earn its floor space, not just occupy it. That means giving the location something their customers actually respond to, and keeping the machine clean, stocked, and working.

How we work

The rules we run by

Authentic and protected

Sealed product arrives factory sealed. Singles ride in toploaders, and graded cards stay in the slab they came back in. No resealed packs, no repackaged mystery boxes, nothing represented as something it is not.

Honest pricing

Prices are shown on the machine before you buy. Convenience is worth something, but not a gouge.

We do the work

Host locations do not touch inventory, payments, or maintenance. If we put a machine somewhere, keeping it right is on us.

What is next

Where this goes

The plan is to start with one machine, do it well, and learn from it. If the first placement works, more locations follow. Online listings and a public product catalog come after that.
