FAQ

What's a Seller Time Capsule?

Your storefront, profile, and brand on ThrowbackBuys in one place. You curate it, skin it, and feature your Top 8 throwbacks.

Your Time Capsule is your nostalgia storefront on ThrowbackBuys. Curate the throwbacks you want to feature, send your audience there from your content, and earn on the sales you drive without holding inventory.

Is there a fee to join?

No listing fees. You pay one flat 12.9% commission only when a throwback sells.

Do I keep my own brand?

Most def. Your Time Capsule carries whatever branding, vibe, or style that makes you, uniquely you.

Can I bring my existing inventory over?

Fasho. The Flux Capacitor drafts each eligible piece as a throwback for you, framed in ThrowbackBuys style, then you review before it goes live. More import options are expanding.
