Built by collectors,
for collectors.
We got tired of waiting weeks on consignment, paying 20% to marketplaces, and arguing about grades over email. So we built ZimCollects — instant offers, fast payouts, and honest grading.

Our story
Three pulls a year, one bad sell experience.
ZimCollects started the way most card-shop stories start — someone pulled a chase card, posted it on a marketplace, and waited two weeks for an offer that came in 30% under market.
We're collectors first. We knew what the cards were worth. We knew the market moved daily. And we couldn't find a single Australian buyer that would price like it.
So we built it. Live TCGplayer comps, a daily-refreshed AUD conversion, transparent band-based pricing, and same-day payouts after we confirm the card on arrival. No marketplace fees. No phone tag. No "we'll get back to you next week".
If the card grades different than you said, you'll see a counter offer with 72 hours to accept — or we'll ship it back free, your call. Buyer protection both ways.
What we believe
Three things we won't compromise on.
Speed over haggling
Quotes print on screen in 60 seconds. We'd rather move fast at a fair rate than nickel-and-dime a 5% haggle.
Honest grading
We tell you the rate up front. If we counter low on inspection, you get the math — never a black box.
Cards are art
We sell display cases too because we want yours on a shelf, not in a binder. Acrylic stops yellowing.
