Ever looked at a $40 playmat and wondered, "Why does this cost so much?" Many players assume that high prices mean better quality—but in reality, most TCG accessories have unnecessary markups that drive up the cost.
Let’s break it down: the actual production cost of a high-quality playmat (including materials, labour, and printing) is often only $7–$12. So why are players paying $30–$50? The answer: big brands and distributors add multiple layers of markups.
With a Cost Plus Pricing model, you’re only paying for what’s necessary—the cost of the product, a small fixed percentage for the business to keep running, and shipping. Instead of arbitrary price hikes, you know exactly where your money is going.
This model doesn’t just benefit your wallet—it also creates a more honest shopping experience. No gimmicks, no hidden costs—just great TCG accessories at prices that actually make sense.
Next time you're shopping for sleeves, deck boxes, or playmats, ask yourself: "Am I paying for the product, or just the brand name?" With Cost Plus Pricing, the answer is always clear.
