Now ALL Already Sold out ,
The sale finished at 9:44pm (I think)
It was a very interesting system, but at the beginning when the price was at $240, after clicking "Add to Cart", the shopping cart page was loading a bit slow... My took more than one minute to load.
I did not see the $99 tier. After the count down, the "buy it now" page did not load straight away. From count down page to "buy it now" auto page change, the first price I saw was $230, then it came back down to $220 $210 mark.
Did anyone successfully bought more than ONE deck (at different price)?
May I ask if these are worthwhile getting:

The early tiers went fast because there were few decks in them. The load took a while because the servers managing the sale suddenly spiked with traffic. The price hovered around the low 200s a while because there were many people hoping for the lowest prices and, seeing the price they were given, decided the simply couldn't afford it and canceled their purchase, freeing up the deck for someone else to buy.
Regarding those other Asher decks, I'd say it depends on how you collect. The first deck is Bee casino stock with a Stinger back. The second deck is the same stock with a standard Diamond Back pattern, something Vegas no longer uses, and it comes in two colors as well. Both are high-grade decks made in the now-defunct Cincinnati plant for casinos that no longer exist, so they'll never be made again.
The third deck is made by Angel Playing Cards out of Japan. Their quality is very good - I own "Club Angel" casino-grade decks and they handle a lot like Bees, though not with as good a finish. A few magicians have performed with them on their videos. They're not as good for flourishing, but they're awesome for magic and just plain playing.
