Fair pricing. No brand tax. No fake discounts.
Cost Plus Games exists for one simple reason:
TCG players shouldn’t have to overpay for basic accessories just because of a logo.
Sleeves, deck boxes, binders, and playmats are utility products. They protect your cards. They get used constantly. They wear out.
Yet most of the industry prices them like luxury items.
We don’t.
What “Cost Plus” actually means
Our pricing model is simple and transparent:
Product price = landed cost + a small fixed margin (15%)
That’s it.
No inflated RRPs.
No “50% off” sales that were never real.
No influencer markup.
No marketing hype built into the price.
What you see is the real price it costs to make, ship, and sell the product — plus a fair margin so the business can exist.
Why most TCG accessories are overpriced
In most cases, you’re not paying more for better protection.
You’re paying for:
-
Brand positioning
-
Influencer sponsorships
-
Retail markups
-
Distributor layers
-
“Premium” packaging
-
Perceived status
That’s fine if that’s what you want.
But we built Cost Plus Games for players who don’t care about any of that.
Who Cost Plus Games is for
Cost Plus Games is built for:
-
Regular players who sleeve decks often
-
People who actually shuffle, play, and travel with cards
-
Budget-conscious collectors
-
LGS players who value function over flex
-
Anyone who thinks transparent pricing should be normal
If you care more about how something performs than how it looks on a shelf, you’re in the right place.
Who this is NOT for (and that’s okay)
Cost Plus Games is not for:
-
Brand-loyal buyers
-
Prestige-driven collectors
-
People who want the most recognisable logo
-
Anyone who equates price with status
If branding matters more than value — we’re probably not your brand.

-
Fake discounts

We will:

Let the product stand on its own
