Pokémon price checker app UK: sealed prices in pounds
To check what a sealed Pokémon product is worth in the UK, look at recent UK sold prices in pounds. Do not use asking prices or US dollar prices. The Paragn app Vault shows the UK market price, the RRP and the markup for sealed products. The Vault is for members.

How do you check a Pokémon price yourself?
You check it by reading what UK buyers actually paid, not what sellers hope to get. Here is the method.
- Search eBay UK for the exact product, for example the set name and "Elite Trainer Box".
- Open the filters and tick Sold items. This also shows completed listings. Asking prices tell you little. Sold prices tell you what the market paid.
- Compare like for like. Keep it sealed. Keep the same variant. A Pokémon Center ETB is not the same product as a standard ETB, so do not mix them.
- Ignore outliers. Drop the lowest and highest sales. A damaged box or a bidding war is not the normal price.
- Look at the most recent sales. Prices move. A sale from three months ago may be wrong today.
- Take off the fees. Use our eBay fee calculator to see what you keep. Then use the profit calculator to add your cost and postage.
Prices can fall as well as rise. A sold price is a record of the past, not a promise.
Why do US price sites mislead UK sellers?
They mislead because the price is in dollars, for a different market. Three problems come up.
- Conversion. The exchange rate changes. A price that looks fine in dollars can shrink in pounds.
- Import costs. Shipping and import charges are not in the US price. A UK buyer pays them.
- Different supply. Products reach the US and the UK at different times and in different amounts. A scarce box in one country can be easy to buy in the other.
A US price site is a rough guide at best. For a UK sale, use UK sold prices.
What should you look for in a price app?
Look for an app that matches how UK resellers really sell. Use this checklist.
| Question | Why it matters | Paragn app |
|---|---|---|
| Does it show pounds? | Dollar prices need conversion and mislead. | Yes. Market prices are live UK prices. |
| Does it cover sealed, not just single cards? | Many apps only scan single cards. | Yes. The Vault is a catalogue of sealed products. |
| Does it use sold prices, not asking prices? | Asking prices are hopes, not sales. | The Vault shows live UK market prices only. US prices converted to pounds are never shown. |
| Does it show RRP and markup? | Markup shows how far the market is from retail. | Yes. Each product shows its RRP and a markup figure. |
| Does it track your own cost and profit after fees? | The market price is not your profit. | Yes. The portfolio tracks value against your cost. Live resale prices show the estimated net after fees. |
| Does it hide stale prices? | An old price looks real but is not. | Yes. A Pokémon price not refreshed for 7 days is hidden. |
What does the Paragn app Vault show?
The Vault is a catalogue of sealed Pokémon products. It also covers One Piece and Lorcana. Tap a product and you see:
- the UK market price
- the RRP
- a markup figure (the market price against the RRP)
- a 7-day trend
- the UK restock history across major retailers and local stores
You can sort the Vault by popular, market price, markup, recent and trending. The market prices shown to members are live UK prices only. If a Pokémon price has not refreshed for 7 days, the app hides it instead of showing an old number.
The Vault is for paid Paragn Network members. Read more on the app page.
How do you track what you paid and what it is worth now?
Use the portfolio and price history. They track the market value of your stock against your cost over time. You see whether a box is above or below what you paid.
Live resale prices help when you are ready to sell. They compare eBay, StockX and Vinted, with the estimated net after each platform's fees. That is the number that matters, because the sale price is not what lands in your account.
Manual inventory tracking is free for everyone. You do not need a membership to log what you own. Restock alerts, release guides and personal keyword alerts are for active members. For a wider look at tracking, read our reselling profit tracker guide.
What about single cards?
Single cards are a different job. Scanner apps exist that read a card with your phone camera and estimate its value. They suit loose cards from a collection. This guide is about sealed products, where you check a box by its exact name and variant, not by a scan. If you have a pile of loose cards, start with are my Pokémon cards worth anything.
Common questions
How much is my Pokémon ETB worth?
Search eBay UK for the exact set and variant, filter to sold items, and read the recent sales in pounds. Compare only sealed boxes of the same type. We do not print a price here because it changes.
Is there a Pokémon price tracker for the UK?
Yes. The Paragn app Vault shows UK market prices in pounds for sealed Pokémon products, with RRP, markup and a 7-day trend. The Vault is for members.
Why not use a US price site?
US sites show dollars for a different market. Conversion, import costs and different supply make the price wrong for a UK sale.
Is the manual inventory tracker free?
Yes. Manual inventory tracking is free for everyone. The Vault is for paid members.
