Comparison
Vyrti vs Facebook Marketplace — Structured Trades, Not Messenger Chaos

Why traders switch from Facebook Marketplace to Vyrti
- You're done answering 'is this still available' six times per listing
- You want offers that are actual items, not $50 counters on a $400 camera
- You need structured card taxonomy (game / grade / set / condition)
- You want smart-matching that finds swaps for you automatically
