The remedy row has posted the inspection fee beside the last three market prices, as requested by sellers who bring small bundles. The display makes the fee harder to miss; it does not reduce the amount a gatherer pays before a blue origin thread can be tied.
Edda Korr reviewed the posted prices with Tessa Orun and gatherer Anet Rell. For the smallest bundle in the sample, the fee remains greater than the sale value. For a larger lot, the same fee is a smaller share of the return. The board now shows that difference without treating it as a verdict on the origin check.
Orun says the tag protects buyers from substitution and wants the test to remain reliable. Rell says a fixed charge makes the row easier to use for sellers who can gather for longer stretches than for those who bring what a single route yields. The hall has not yet proposed a size-based fee.
A lower charge might admit more sellers, but the steward would still need time to verify a source and make a record that buyers can trust. The review has not compared those costs or identified a smaller procedure that preserves the check.
The current rule stays in force while the hall studies the three-price sheet. The visible fee is a start toward comparison, not a promise that the market has made small lots affordable.
