Oh Raj, why would you want to sell cards for 33p? Imagine the derisory cash profit! Get yourself a decent range of Wholesale cards, sell them all at £1. Great margins and customers love the idea of a decent card without worrying about price codes.

I think Andrea's eye for detail is switched off--so much empty space in the fridges!
