GiftScout: where the gift is cheaper

The same collectible Telegram gift costs 50 TON on one marketplace and 47 on another, and after fees the gap can vanish or grow. GiftScout puts the numbers in one place: it compares marketplace prices, factors in fees and shows the final cost in TON and dollars. 📊

It is a mini app for people who buy, sell and collect gifts seriously. About 190 people use it monthly, and its data updates continuously.

What GiftScout does

• Price comparison. A gift's lowest price on several marketplaces side by side.
• Fees included. The final price after platform fees, in TON and dollars.
• Collections. Tracks collections and price changes.
• Market trends. Price dynamics and recent sales.
• Trade routes. Hints on where to buy cheaper and sell higher.

Why fees decide everything

Each gift marketplace has its own terms. Seller fees on popular platforms range roughly from 1.5% to 7%, plus TON network costs and creator royalties of up to 5%. 💸

On an expensive gift, a few percent is real money. GiftScout shows the post-fee price so you compare actual amounts, not shop-window numbers.

How arbitrage works

1. Spot a gap. A gift is cheaper on one platform than another.
2. Count fees. Buying, selling, network and royalties eat part of the gap.
3. Decide if it is worth it. On small amounts the trade often does not pay.
4. Move fast. Gaps close quickly as others notice them.

Arbitrage is not guaranteed income. Prices can shift while you move a gift, and rare models can be illiquid.

About the gifts

Collectible Telegram gifts are upgraded gifts with a number and attributes, stored on the TON blockchain. They can be transferred, sold for Stars on Telegram's built-in marketplace or on third-party platforms. Price depends on the rarity of backdrop, model and symbol, plus overall interest in the collection.

Before buying, check a model's sales history: if it has not sold in a while, the listed price may be far from reality. GiftScout's trends help you avoid overpaying in a hype wave.

Market risks

• Volatility. Prices climb on hype and fall when interest cools.
• TON price. Dollar value moves with the crypto rate.
• Scammers. Never send a gift "for verification" or pay outside a marketplace. ⚠️
• Wallet safety. Connect only to trusted platforms and never enter a seed phrase. 🔒

Who it suits

Collectors wanting the best price, sellers who want to know what they will really receive, traders hunting price gaps between platforms, and anyone following Telegram gift market trends without a dozen open tabs.
