Frequently asked questions

+Do I pay commission?

SurplusBuilder is free to list. Commission applies only on facilitated payment flows.

+Are all London yellow bricks the same?

No — 19th-century stocks vary by pit. Match by texture and colour, not just era.

+How do I handle timewasters?

Require a small refundable deposit for viewings, or set 'collection ready with payment' terms.
