What it costs
Transparent fees.
No asterisks.
A professional fee for work performed, not a success fee tied to outcome. Everything - card spend, service fee, and shipping - comes out of one wallet, quoted upfront.

How the wallet works
Your wallet covers card spend, service fee, and shipping in one transfer. We quote the total at guardrails stage. Any unspent balance is refunded within 3 working days of dispatch.
Why a minimum fee?
The minimum covers the work done before any sourcing begins — brief review, comp research, show preparation. That time is the same whether the order is £40 or £400.
How do we determine what to pay for a card?
We research recent sold prices - eBay completed listings, auction results, and current market activity - to establish what a card should cost before we approach any seller.
We then negotiate on your behalf. At the guardrails stage, we agree a maximum price per card; we won't go above it, and your itemised statement shows exactly what we paid and what we saved.
