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 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.
If we wouldn't sell our own card on it, we wouldn't ask you to.
— Founding principle
Why sellers trust us
Four promises we keep.
Transparent pricing
Rate printed on screen before you commit. No surprise deductions at payout.
Honest grading
If we grade different to what you sent, you get the comp links — not just a number.
Same-day payout
We pay the same business day we confirm your card on arrival.
Free return if you disagree
Reject a counter offer and we'll ship it straight back, at our cost.
What we believe
Three things we won't compromise on.
These aren't aspirational. They're the bar every offer, every payout, and every counter we send has to clear.
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.
