Card Shop Counters & Trade-In Desks

Card Shop Counters & Trade-In Desks connect valuable singles, comparison trays and customer handover items with the right display geometry, access and operating layout. Define your merchandise and project conditions, then coordinate the fixture system from concept through manufacturing handoff.

Card Shop Counters & Trade-In Desks — illustrative fixture concept
DIRECT ANSWER

A singles showcase presents sale inventory. A trade-in desk receives customer-owned items, provides an inspection position and supports temporary secure holding. These functions can share a coordinated counter run, but they need distinct work areas and a clear handover record.

FROM MERCHANDISE TO CONFIGURATION

Define the system around daily operation.

  1. 01

    Separate assisted selling from incoming stock

    A singles showcase presents sale inventory. A trade-in desk receives customer-owned items, provides an inspection position and supports temporary secure holding. These functions can share a coordinated counter run, but they need distinct work areas and a clear handover record.

  2. 02

    Merchandise and display geometry

    Coordinate the visible card tray with the working surface, staff reach and door travel. A glass top and a tilted insert are separate parts of the design; neither determines the correct transaction height by itself.

  3. 03

    Customer and staff workflow

    One staff member may need to show several cards while another serves a purchase. Provide a clear temporary tray position so incoming, reserved and sellable cards remain separate.

  4. 04

    Sample and approval checks

    Rehearse unlocking, presenting a tray, returning cards and closing the cabinet. Include the intended POS equipment and an occupied customer position in the mock-up.

  5. 05

    Details to resolve early

    Placing the display directly below the payment terminal can create glare and block the best viewing area. Rear doors that open into a narrow staff aisle can interrupt every transaction.
