Welcome to Plugged Inn

01

What is Plugged Inn?

Plugged Inn is a membership-based community built for collectors and resellers who want to actually cop β€” not just hear about drops after they sell out. We handle the hard part so you don't have to.

02

What does 'auto-checkout' actually mean?

Auto-checkout (ACO) means we run bots on your behalf to secure limited items the moment they go live. You submit your info, we load it into our setup, and when the drop hits β€” your order is placed automatically, faster than any human can do it manually.

03

How is this different from just getting alerts?

Alerts tell you when something drops. ACO actually buys it for you. Most services just notify you and wish you luck. We put in the work so you walk away with the W.

πŸ’¬

Getting Started in Discord

01

Am I in the right place?

Yes β€” if you're in the Plugged Inn Discord, you're in the right place. Everything runs through the server, so make sure you have access to the member channels after joining.

02

How to navigate the server

The server is organized by category. Here's the quick breakdown:

  • β€’ #important-announcements β€” The most critical, time-sensitive drops. Check this first, always.
  • β€’ #naydo-aco β€” Where you submit your form to enter auto-checkout.
  • β€’ Category channels (e.g. #Pokemon-Important, sneakers, etc.) β€” Drop-specific alerts for each niche.
  • β€’ Support channels β€” Have a question? This is where you go.
03

Need help?

Head to the support section in Discord. Don't DM random members β€” use the proper support channel so the right person sees it.

⚑

How Auto-Checkout Works

01

What is ACO and how does it work?

ACO stands for Auto-Checkout. When a drop goes live, our bots fire instantly and attempt to complete a purchase using the info you've submitted. You don't need to be online, watching, or clicking anything. We handle it.

02

How do I enter auto-checkout?

  1. 1Go to #naydo-aco in the Discord
  2. 2Fill out the form with your shipping and payment details
  3. 3That's it β€” you're in the queue for upcoming drops
03

What info do I need to provide?

  • β€’ Full name and shipping address
  • β€’ Payment method (card details)
  • β€’ Sizes or preferences (where applicable)

Make sure everything is accurate. Wrong info = failed checkout.

04

What happens after I submit?

Your profile gets loaded into our system. When a relevant drop happens, we'll run your info automatically. You'll be notified of results in Discord.

05

Do I pay upfront or only if I cop?

Payment timing depends on the specific drop and terms posted in Discord. Always read the drop post carefully before entering.

πŸ“‘

Staying in the Loop on Drops

01

Where to find time-sensitive drops

Always check #important-announcements first. This is where we post the highest priority, most time-sensitive information. If you only watch one channel, make it this one.

02

Category-specific channels

  • β€’ Want early PokΓ©mon Center alerts? β†’ #Pokemon-Important
  • β€’ Sneaker drops? β†’ Check the sneakers channel
  • β€’ One Piece TCG? β†’ Check the One Piece channel
03

Set up your Discord notifications

  1. 1Right-click the Plugged Inn server icon
  2. 2Click Notification Settings
  3. 3Set #important-announcements to All Messages
  4. 4Do the same for any category channel you care about
⚠️If you're not getting pinged, you're not set up correctly.

Understanding Your Membership

Lite vs Premium vs VIP β€” What's the Difference?

Premium is good. VIP is a different game entirely.

Premium members get priority over Lite β€” but when it comes to the drops that actually matter, VIP changes everything.

02

πŸ“Š VIP vs Premium β€” By the Numbers

91%
VIP members recoup cost in 5 months
+$340/mo
Average profit increase after VIP upgrade
03

Why Is VIP So Much More Successful?

It comes down to one thing: the ACO App. Premium members enter drops the standard way β€” your info goes in the queue with everyone else. The ACO App that VIP members get access to is a completely separate, faster pipeline.

Think of it like this β€” Premium is flying economy. VIP is flying private. Same destination, completely different experience.

04

Lifetime VIP β€” The No-Brainer Math

Monthly VIP costs add up. Lifetime VIP is a one-time payment that pays for itself fast.

If you cop just 1 extra item per month as a VIP that you would've missed as Premium, you've already won.

Most VIP members see ROI within their first month. Lifetime just means you never think about it again β€” no renewals, no price increases, locked in forever.

πŸ”’ Ready to Stop Leaving W's on the Table?

Join the members copping at 3x the rate. Access the ACO App, exclusive drops, and priority positioning on every release.

Tips for Success

01

Be ready before the drop

Make sure your form is filled out and your info is up to date before drops happen. Last-minute changes can cause issues.

02

Keep your shipping and payment info current

Expired cards and old addresses are one of the top reasons checkouts fail. Check your profile regularly.

03

Don't sleep on announcements

Drops move fast. Some of our best opportunities are gone in under a minute. Get your notifications set up.

04

Engage with the community

Members who are active in the server tend to get more out of it. You'll catch info faster, learn from others, and stay ahead of what's coming.

Monitors & Alerts

01

Drop Alert Channels

Plugged Inn monitors dozens of retailers and drops 24/7. When something goes live, we post it immediately in the relevant Discord channels. Here’s where to look:

  • β€’ #important-announcements β€” Highest priority drops, time-sensitive alerts
  • β€’ #pokemon-important β€” PokΓ©mon TCG restocks, new releases, PokΓ©mon Center drops
  • β€’ #sneakers β€” Nike SNKRS, Adidas, Jordan releases
  • β€’ #one-piece β€” One Piece TCG booster boxes and sets
02

Important Announcements

#important-announcements is the single most important channel in the server. If you’re only going to follow one channel, make it this one. All major drops and time-sensitive ACO entries get posted here first.

⚠️Set this channel to β€œAll Messages” in your Discord notification settings or you will miss drops.
03

Channel Ping Guide

Understanding what different pings mean:

  • β€’ @everyone β€” Critical drop, stop what you're doing
  • β€’ @here β€” Important alert for active members
  • β€’ Role ping β€” Relevant to that specific product category
  • β€’ OOS / Canceled Orders β€” Item went out of stock or orders got canceled (buy opportunity)

In-Store Stock Checkers

01

How to Use Stock Checkers

Our Discord bot lets you check real-time in-store inventory at major retailers before making the trip. Just use the slash commands in the bot channel.

Basic Command Format

/checkstock [store] [sku] [zipcode]

Example

/checkstock bestbuy 6494731 90210

Returns a list of nearby stores with quantity on hand.

02

Supported Stores

Best Buy
Target
Walmart
GameStop
Costco
πŸ’‘SKUs are product-specific. You can find them on the retailer's product page URL or ask in #questions if you need help.
πŸͺ

In-Store Stock Pinger

01

Setting Keywords

The In-Store Stock Pinger sends you a ping whenever a product matching your keywords comes back in stock at a store near your zip code. Set it up once and let it run.

Add Keywords

/addkeyword [keyword] [zipcode]

Example: /addkeyword "Prismatic Evolutions" 90210
ℹ️You can add multiple keywords. Each one will trigger independently when stock is found.
02

Clearing Keywords

To remove all your saved keywords and stop receiving pings:

/clearkeywords

This clears everything at once. You'll need to re-add any keywords you want to keep monitoring.

AI Card Grading

01

How to Grade a Card

Plugged Inn’s AI grading tool gives you an instant estimate of a card’s PSA grade and market value based on a photo. It’s not a replacement for professional grading, but it’s a fast way to triage a collection or decide if a card is worth submitting.

  1. 1Take a clear, well-lit photo of the card (front and back)
  2. 2Upload it in the #ai-grading channel in Discord
  3. 3Use the /grade command and attach your image
  4. 4The bot returns an estimated grade and current market value range
02

Grade Command

Command Format

/grade [attach image]
πŸ’‘Natural lighting or a lightbox gives the best results. Avoid glare and make sure the card is flat and centered in the frame.
ℹ️AI grades are estimates only. For submission decisions, always get a second opinion or compare against recently sold PSA comps.
πŸ“±

Plugged Inn Mobile App

01

Download the App

The Plugged Inn mobile app (Moonitor) gives you instant push notifications for drops, restocks, and alerts β€” so you never miss a hit even when you’re away from your desktop.

02

Push Notifications Setup

After installing, make sure push notifications are enabled so alerts reach you instantly:

  1. 1Open the app and log in with your Discord account
  2. 2Go to Settings β†’ Notifications
  3. 3Enable push notifications for all alert types
  4. 4Select which product categories you want to be notified about
  5. 5Test with the "Send test notification" button
⚠️If you don't enable notifications during setup, you'll need to go into your phone's system settings and manually allow them for the app.

Auto Checkout (ACO)

01

What is ACO?

ACO (Auto Check Out) is a service that allows you to cop basically on autopilot. You fill out the forms for the store(s) you would like to buy products from, and our team of ACO providers will add your information to a checkout profile and run checkout services for you.

ℹ️No more worrying about rushing to the computer every time something drops unexpectedly!
02

Profile Variation Guide

Each profile should look like a different person. Create 5-10 solid ones using these methods:

πŸ’  Name Variations

  • β€’ Use your real last name
  • β€’ Rotate your first name: John β†’ Jonny, Johnny, J.
  • β€’ Use middle name as first: John Michael Smith β†’ Michael Smith

πŸ’  Address Variations

Retailers check for exact matchesβ€”tiny changes help bypass limits:

123 Main St β†’ 123 Main St Apt 2B
St β†’ Street, Ave β†’ Avenue
123 Main St β†’ 123 Main St 99
⚠️It still needs to be deliverable. Don’t go crazyβ€”USPS will still deliver slight variations.

πŸ’  Email Aliases

yourname+1@gmail.com
yourname+2@gmail.com
yourname+target@gmail.com

Google treats all of these as the same inbox.

03

Payment Options

Use different cards or virtual cards if possible. Some banks like Capital One, Privacy.com, and Revolut let you create multiple virtual cards tied to the same account.

πŸ’‘Pro Tip: Label each card to match the profile so you don't mix them up.
04

IMAP Setup

IMAP is used to retrieve verification codes sent to your email. These codes are often required for faster checkouts on sites like Best Buy.

Gmail Setup

  1. 1IMAP is enabled by default on Gmail β€” no changes needed
  2. 2Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) at Google 2FA Setup
  3. 3Visit Google App Passwords
  4. 4Add a custom app name (e.g., "ACO") and click Create

01

Set Up Autocheckout Profiles (The Right Way)

If you’re not using Autocheckout, you’re moving too slow.

03

Use Chrome or a Browser That Saves Info

Google Chrome is ideal.
