Started LetItRip after one too many afternoons hunting for a specific 1st-edition card across a dozen disconnected forums and marketplaces. Built the entire platform — Next.js front end, Firebase backend, the auction engine, the whole thing — the same way most great collections start: one late night at a time. Still personally answers the support inbox.
The Journey
LetItRip started as a weekend project — a single developer, a spinning-top collection outgrowing its shelf, and a conviction that India's collectors deserved a marketplace built just for them.
Live auctions, seller storefronts, and escrow-backed checkout shipped — turning a side project into a real marketplace with verified sellers across action figures, trading cards, and model kits.
Pre-orders, events, raffles, and a mobile-first redesign — built for the community that showed up, bid, sold, and kept coming back.
