The ecosystem works on new releases too
Video game collecting lives on vintage and on graded pieces. A store, though, also lives on new releases. B2B Trading is the TGM line that brings the new release market inside the network: an orderly supply, one single channel and dedicated terms for those already in the ecosystem.
New release distribution, under a single roof
TGM B2B Trading is the distribution of new video games to the stores in our network: the releases of the moment, organized as a continuous service and built for people who raise a shutter every morning.
It is the sixth line of The Games Market ecosystem, alongside TGMGrading, Marketplace, Auctions, TGM Nexus and collector display cases. It is not a detour away from collecting: it is proof that a single house works on the new release market too. Same brand, same rigor, same person on the other end of the line.
The TGM ecosystem does not live on vintage and graded pieces alone: it works on the new release market too, because a large share of a store's daily work happens right there.
Three things a store asks of a distributor
A single channel
New releases come through one contact, inside the ecosystem the store already works with for grading, management software and display cases. Fewer suppliers, less friction, one person to call.
Dedicated terms
Stores in the TGM network get terms built around the network: consistent treatment across every store that belongs to it. The specifics are a matter for direct contact.
Brand consistency
Same rigor, same voice, same way of working. A store that is already TGM on graded pieces does not have to switch codes when it orders new stock: the experience stays one and the same.
B2B Trading is not out to replace a general distributor: it wants to be the orderly, continuous channel for people who make a profession out of video game collecting, and who still need new stock to keep the offering on their own shelves alive.
Three steps, one person to call
Activating the service is straightforward and starts with direct contact: no automated forms, no public price lists, because B2B Trading is built around the needs of each individual store.
-
Contact and qualification
The store writes to the TGM B2B Trading team with the essentials: location, VAT number, indicative monthly volumes, categories of interest. A first introductory call opens the conversation.
-
Dedicated terms
Based on that profile, TGM puts forward the supply terms reserved for the network: assortment, frequency, delivery methods and ordering channel. The full terms are not posted in the shop window: they are shared during the introductory call, once we know what kind of store you are.
-
First order, and the store joins the network
Once the terms are agreed, the store places its first order and becomes a full member of the TGM network. From that moment on, B2B Trading is the supply channel for new releases, inside the same ecosystem the store already works with.
The dedicated terms of B2B Trading are discussed through direct contact only. It is a choice of transparency toward the network: whoever is in knows the terms hold for every store in the same bracket, with no parallel routes and no online shortcuts.
