Rules & How It Works
Buy and sell premium vinyl stickers from your favorite startups. Real collectibles with prices that update based on demand.
TL;DR
What is Stickier?
Stickier is a marketplace for physical vinyl stickers featuring logos and designs from startups, tech companies, and VC firms.
Every sticker on our platform is a real, premium die-cut vinyl sticker (2-3.5" width) that gets printed and shipped to you. These are collectible items you can stick on your laptop, water bottle, or display in your collection.
Our unique pricing model means sticker prices change based on demand—popular stickers cost more, while less popular ones are more affordable. You can also resell stickers you own through our marketplace.
Why Build a Sticker Collection?
It's not just about the vinyl. It's about what it represents.
Rep Your Favorites
Your collection reflects the companies you believe in. Build a collection that tells your story.
Track the Hype
Who's hot, who's not. Your sticker collection is a real-time map of tech culture.
Collect First
New stickers start at $1. Popular ones cost more. The earlier you collect, the more affordable.
Stay Flexible
Ship Later keeps your options open. Collect now, decide later whether to keep or trade.
Stickers have always been the universal language of tech culture. We're building a marketplace where collecting them finally makes sense.
What You Own
When you buy a sticker, you own a real physical vinyl sticker. Every sticker is backed by our inventory and printing capacity.
Ship Later (Recommended): Your sticker is held in your collection. Trade it on the marketplace, gift it to a friend, or request physical delivery whenever you want.
Ship Now: We print and ship your sticker immediately. You receive the physical product.
🔒 Physical Guarantee: Every sticker in your collection is backed by real vinyl. Request delivery anytime within 365 days—or trade it to another collector. Either way, a sticker gets printed and shipped.

Timeline
Selling Stickers
Own stickers you want to sell? We handle everything through our consignment model.
List Your Sticker
Select stickers from your collection and list them for sale. You can only sell stickers you originally bought on Stickier.
We Set the Price
As your consignment agent, we determine the sale price based on current market demand. You can set a reserve (minimum) price.
We Print, Ship & Pay You
We handle everything: print a fresh sticker, ship to the buyer, and deposit your earnings. Zero fulfillment hassle.
Why We Print Fresh Stickers for Buyers
Vinyl stickers are single-use products—once applied, the adhesive backing is consumed and cannot be reused. To ensure every buyer receives a sticker with full "sticky ability," we print a fresh new sticker for each resale.
This also means sellers never need to handle shipping. We manage all fulfillment on your behalf, so you can focus on collecting and selling without logistics headaches.
How Ownership Works
- Sell what you own: Own 5 stickers? You can sell up to 5. When you sell one, ownership transfers to the buyer—you now own 4. Want it back? Just buy it again.
- Unlimited reselling: Stickers can change hands forever. You sell to Alice, Alice sells to Bob, Bob sells back to you… each owner can resell when they're ready.
- Why we reprint: Even though you may have the physical sticker, when you sell we print a fresh one for the buyer. This ensures every buyer gets a pristine sticker with full adhesive.
Seller Fee Structure
| Sticker Status | Seller Fee | Best For |
|---|---|---|
Unshipped (Ship Later) Orders awaiting fulfillment | 5% flat | Collectors who may resell |
Physical (Already Shipped) Ship Now orders, or after 365-day auto-ship | 20% flat | Collectors reselling physical stickers |
Simple flat fees. The 5% rate applies until physical delivery occurs.
Dynamic Pricing
Sticker prices respond to market sentiment in real-time. More buyers push prices up. Sellers and shorters push prices down. Inactive stickers drift back to $1.
How It Works
Every sticker has a hype score that determines its price. Buying activity pushes prices up. Shorting and listing pressure push prices down. Inactive stickers drift back toward $1.00.
Prices reflect real hype. Hot stickers cost more. Stickers people are shorting cost less. $1.00 means "no one cares"—below $1 means people are actively bearish.
Why Dynamic Pricing?
- Reflects real sentimentPrices show what the market actually thinks right now
- Rewards early believersBuy before the hype and your stickers appreciate
- Punishes overhypeShorts can push down overpriced stickers
- Self-correctingForgotten stickers drift back to $1 baseline
Key Details
Starting price: Every new sticker begins at $1.00
Floor price: Stickers can go as low as $0.01 if heavily shorted
No ceiling: Popular stickers can climb indefinitely based on demand
Slippage: Large orders move the price as they execute—each successive sticker costs slightly more (buying) or less (shorting)
Bear Flex (Shorting)
The "Called It" Edition
Think a sticker is overpriced? Express your opinion with a Bear Flex! Pay the current price and receive a special "CALLED IT" edition of the sticker—a cosmetic collectible showing you made the call.
Shorting has a strong impact on price. Each short decreases the hype score significantly, pushing the sticker price down. The more you short, the cheaper each successive short becomes (reverse slippage).
Bear Flex stickers are collectible keepsakes. They're not for resale—just for bragging rights.
