Toki lends a helping hand in sourcing and obtaining sought-after items dealt on its virtual market. Recognized as the Philippines’ first collectible-focused re-commerce platform, the organization spearheads the exchange through reliable product offerings sourced from credible sellers, eluding the rigorous process of having to locate items and investigate their legitimacy.
A product of creative wordplay, Toki translates to “moment of opportunity” in Japanese, subtly describing the deals and listings populated across the brand’s extensive authentic marketplace. Users may both sell (following accreditation by the brand) and buy goods through two modes: their online marketplace and live stream auctions—a first solely centered on collectibles in the Philippines. Created by collectors for collectors, TOKI prides itself on its seamless experience, favored by industry leaders such as DJ Bigboy Cheng.

The space houses nearly 100 top-tier sellers with over 70,000 proposed listings spread across four categories: Sneakers, Lego, NBA Trading Cards, and Funko Pop figurines. While anyone can register as a seller on the platform, TOKI follows a meticulous procedure to determine a seat on its roster.
“We're extremely careful about selecting seller partners; trust and safety are our top priorities. While anyone can apply to become a partner on Toki, we carefully evaluate them based on stringent criteria, including their online reputation score, financial information, stock and turnover review, and even conduct on-site visits to their stock/warehouses. It's a very rigorous process that ensures only the best for our community,” mentions Jules Jurado, TokiI’s Head of Strategy and Co-Founder.

Whether purchasing a listed product or joining a live auction, Toki ensures buyer-seller satisfaction by mediating the transacting experience. Members can purchase via credit/debit card, GCash, and Maya, and the brand will safely secure these funds until the product reaches the buyer. Once placing an order, the brand acquires the listing from the seller, followed by an in-depth analysis by an in-house verification team. Funds will only be dispatched to the seller succeeding delivery, and both parties are satisfied.
From its launch last November 6, 2023, Toki looks to provide the means and the ends as an all-in-one hub, offering reliability, authenticity, and a secure avenue when dealing with the local collectibles market.
