MINI BUCKET EXCHANGETRUST & SPONSORSHIP
Editorial Independence
The Mini Bucket Exchange policy separating sponsorship and advertising from search rank, verification, rarity, market values and Collector Guide inclusion.
Advertising does not buy database authority.
Sponsored inventory is commercially separate from the Bucketdex and MBX research systems.
- Sponsors cannot buy search ranking.
- Sponsors cannot buy rarity designations.
- Sponsors cannot alter MBX Market values or confidence.
- Sponsors cannot buy verification status.
- Sponsors cannot buy Collector Guide inclusion.
- Paid creative must be visibly labeled and may not imitate MBX market, availability or transaction signals.
Why publish this?
MBX intends to be useful to collectors even when a manufacturer, retailer, seller or sponsor disagrees with the database. The editorial layer has to remain neutral for cross-manufacturer intelligence to mean anything.
