How it works

Three steps from shelf to sold.

No middlemen holding your money, no commission on the deal. The Exchange introduces verified practices — you handle the trade between you.

01

List your shelf, free

Bulk-upload your slow sellers in minutes. Pick frames from our brand database so listings fill themselves in. You set every price.

02

Browse the network

Search verified practices by brand, price, condition and distance. Prefer not to arm the rival down the road? Hide your stock from anyone nearby.

03

Deal directly

Message the practice, agree a straight swap or pay the difference, and arrange delivery between you. Rate each other once it's done.

Why practices join

Frames sitting on your shelf are cash you can't spend.

Free up trapped capital

The average practice holds thousands of pounds in frames that will never suit its own customers. Move them — without discounting on your own shelf and admitting the buy was a mistake.

A closed, verified club

Every member is a checked, genuine practice, marked with a blue tick. You're dealing with peers you can look up — not strangers on the open internet.

One simple membership

Listing is always free. One flat monthly fee lets you contact members and trade the whole network. No commission, no cut of your deal, ever.

Trade beyond your catchment

Send stock to practices in other markets where it will actually sell, and keep it off the shelves of the competitor two streets away.

Built on trust

A profession that runs on relationships deserves a network that respects them.

You always keep control of your price, your stock, and who you deal with. We verify every practice before they're let in, and you can report or block anyone who doesn't play fair.
