Trading, Swapping and Purchasing PolicyWe would like to buy your spare items of ORIGINAL British and Commonwealth military and police insignia (plus parachute wings of all countries) - but this depends on price. If you have any items you wish to part with, please send a list of the badges with individual prices (in £ Sterling) - as opposed to the actual items. That way we don't incur unnecessary postage charges should we make a business decision against buying the pieces you wish to sell. It is cheaper to send a list both in terms of weight and postage cost. A photocopy or scanned image of the items may help if you do not have access to standard insignia reference books. We regard setting the price as the owner's job - that way, you the seller get the price you want for them. We set the prices for items on our lists and see it only fair that you do the same for your property. Please tell us how much you want for your items. Swapping and Trading. The same principles apply - a 'cash-value' gives more flexibility in case your first choice from our catalogue is no longer available - we can then use this cash-value against your alternative choices. With over 3000 collectors on our books it would otherwise be difficult to keep track of badges sent as swaps. Once you set the price we will then be in a better position to tell whether or not we can re-sell them - one-for-one swaps will not keep us in business. As a guide, if we think an item will re-sell quickly, we will pay or swap for up to 60% of our selling price. If we already have a lot of similar items in stock, or if we are buying in bulk, it means that we will have items sitting on our shelves for a while; this would tie-up our cash, so we would not pay as much. By giving swaps a 'cash-value' we can either send you a cheque or put the amount as a credit against your name. Please specify whether you would prefer a cheque or credit - please bear in mind that it costs us £1.50 in bank charges to produce each cheque and prefer to give credit for low-cost purchases. If you have doubts about the originality of a badge, chances are that we will have similar doubts - if so, we would send the badge back to you. Similarly our clients tend not to want broken badges. To prevent unnecessary postal costs please list only undamaged badges which you consider genuine. Please bear in mind that we may already hold sufficient stock of some of the items you offer for sale. Even if we do hold sufficient stock, we may still buy - but only if the price is low enough to justify tying-up our money. Please send a price list of your spare items to -
