December 13, 2025 marks a monumental milestone for House of Carts (HOC), the longest-running and most trusted resell group in the industry. As we celebrate nine years of empowering collectors and resellers, we reflect on our journey from a small sneaker-focused community in 2016 to becoming the premier destination for those seeking the best cook group experience across sneakers, Pokémon cards, GPUs, and beyond.
A Legacy Built on Trust and Results
Since our inception on December 13, 2016, House of Carts has established itself as the most trusted resell group in an industry often plagued by deceptive marketing and hollow promises. While countless groups have emerged and disappeared over the years, HOC has remained steadfast in its commitment to transparency, community, and genuine results. Our longevity isn't accidental—it's the product of consistently delivering value to our members through every market shift and product trend.
What began as a sneaker cook group during the height of the Yeezy and limited-edition Jordan frenzy has evolved into a comprehensive reselling powerhouse. We've adapted and expanded our expertise to include Pokémon TCG products, graphics cards, gaming consoles, collectibles, and virtually every high-demand product category that emerges. This adaptability, combined with our core values of honesty and member success, has cemented our reputation as the best cook group for serious collectors and resellers.
2025: A Year of Remarkable Success
The past year has been particularly extraordinary for the House of Carts community. Our members have achieved unprecedented success across multiple product categories, reinforcing why HOC remains the gold standard for reselling groups.
Pokémon Domination: The Best Pokémon Cook Group
2025 saw House of Carts solidify its position as the best Pokémon cook group in the industry. The release of highly sought-after sets like Scarlet & Violet—151, Prismatic Evolutions, and Journey Together presented significant challenges for collectors and resellers alike, with products selling out within minutes at major retailers.
However, House of Carts members consistently secured these products at retail prices thanks to our:
- Real-time restock monitors tracking over 100+ retailers simultaneously
- Free Pokémon slots for coordinated group purchases at local card shops
- Pokémon autocheckout services during the most competitive drops
- Expert guidance on which products offered the best value for collectors versus resellers
The upcoming Destined Rivals release has already generated massive hype, with pre-orders selling out in minutes across major retailers. HOC has been proactively preparing our members for months, ensuring they'll have every advantage when securing this highly anticipated set. Our Pokémon cook group infrastructure has enabled hundreds of members to build impressive collections and profitable inventory when others faced empty carts and disappointment.
Graphics Card Success: RTX 5090 and Beyond
When NVIDIA launched the RTX 5090 Founders Edition—one of the most limited GPU releases in recent memory—HOC members were ready. Our coordinated approach, combining real-time stock alerts, autocheckout technology, and strategic purchasing guidance, enabled numerous members to secure cards that were otherwise nearly impossible to obtain.
One member shared: "The GPU sold out instantly on Jan. 30, but despite the odds, I snagged one with the help of early notifications from House of Carts. HOC provided an edge over normal consumers, as we were able to coordinate things and had notifications come up for restocks that were occurring in waves."
Sneaker Excellence Continues
While we've expanded into new categories, House of Carts has never forgotten our roots as a sneaker cook group. Throughout 2025, our members continued to secure the most coveted releases from Nike, Jordan Brand, Adidas, and Yeezy. From Travis Scott collaborations to limited regional exclusives, HOC's comprehensive approach—combining SNKRS bot support, raffle coordination, and in-store tips—kept our community cooking on every major drop.

What Makes House of Carts the Most Trusted Resell Group
In an industry filled with exaggerated claims and manipulative tactics, House of Carts stands apart through several key differentiators that have earned us recognition as the most trusted resell group:
Transparency Over Hype
We refuse to employ the smoke-and-mirrors marketing common among lesser groups. Every success story is genuine. Every testimonial comes from real members experiencing real results. When a product isn't worth pursuing, we say so directly. This honesty has built an unshakeable foundation of trust with our community.
Comprehensive Resources
House of Carts provides members with an extensive toolkit for success:
- 24/7 Restock Monitors: Lightning-fast alerts across all major retailers and niche sites
- Expert Guides: From beginner fundamentals to advanced botting techniques
- Autocheckout Services: Giving members an edge during the most competitive releases
- Free Slots: Coordinated group purchases for maximum success rates
- Market Analysis: Data-driven insights on what to buy, when to sell, and how to maximize profit
- Community Support: A welcoming environment where experienced members mentor newcomers
Proven Track Record
Our nine years of success speak volumes. Members have collectively generated millions in profits and secured countless grails for their personal collections. From the PS5 shortage era (where HOC members secured consoles when retail availability was nearly zero) to the RTX 3000 GPU frenzy to today's Pokémon and sneaker markets, we've consistently delivered results through every challenge.
Educational Approach
House of Carts operates as a true resell university. We don't just feed members opportunities—we teach them how to identify opportunities independently. Our comprehensive educational resources ensure that members develop genuine expertise, not just dependency on alerts. This philosophy has created countless success stories of members who started with zero knowledge and built substantial side incomes or even full-time businesses.
