I have several hundred decks I want to get rid of.

Some decks are opened, most are sealed, and the opened ones are barely used at all (some only taken out of the box once).

I'm not interested in leaving a sales thread open for months getting rid of all my stock. What ends up happening is I get orders during times I can't complete them, or I get orders without even knowing that I got them.

Would you guys instead be interested in a first-come-first-serve super sale every week?

I'm thinking taking like three bricks each week and selling them off at insanely low prices.You can buy as many as you want while the supply lasts.

I'm talking huge discounts, too. For example, let's say an Artifice deck costs $7 on the aftermarket. Well, I'll sell them for $4 and then offer additional discounts for each deck purchased. So let's say you buy a brick, that's $44 now plus shipping. (These are just hypothetical numbers, I have no clue what Artifice costs right now).

I may also do something like a gamble option. You add $2 to your order, and you get a random opened deck. These can range from something like an open Blue Ribbon to something as terrible as open Bike. Maybe to get rid of decks faster, I'll do something like order 12 gambled decks, and get them for $15.

Let me know your thoughts! (And for those curious, shipping times will be much faster than Vortex lol).

That's what happens when I lose track of who emailed what. :D

Send me another email when you get the chance, my inbox has (thankfully) died down recently and I'll get back to you ASAP.

I would be interested. Also would be interested in buying open decks.
Do you guys even read this? Like I could have the meaning of life here and I doubt you would know it.

Cool beans. Hopefully I can get rid of my suitcase of cards by 2013. I still feel bad about it, there are some decks that will be hard to part with (Blue Ribbons, 90s Bikes, etc.) D:

On the other hand, I need to clear up the space so I can reboot my channel at some point.

I'll keep the discounts simple this time around. Aside from the price cuts in general, I'll throw in bulk discounts and that's it. Simple, affordable, done. :)

I would definitely be interested, come September I should actually have money so next month sounds good :) I like the gamble idea seeing as $2 for any bike deck isn't exactly much...

Bro - WRONG topic.  Take it to the Aether board.


@ Alex.  This sounds awesome.  I suggest giving a pre-announcement, letting people know when the sale will take place, so they'll know when to be in front of their computer/phone to snag a deal.  Do it same time each week, even better.  And don't forget, we also have a mechanism in place for selling select items at auction.

If you have Jerry's in good shape cheap, let me know!  Open box is good for me, since I'd only open them myself anyway, as long as the cards were cared for.

I second the opened Jerry's question, I've always wanted a deck so that I could handle it but I just can't bring myself to buy an unopened deck for such outrageous prices and I haven't found any good opened ones. I still kick myself for not buying them when they were roughly $100 in comparison to what they cost now. An idea that I know I would pick up in a heart beat: A brick of opened cards (with some other rare cards) that you can still sell for a decently high price just in limited quantities that includes an opened Jerry's. Just throwing ideas out there though haha.

I love the idea. If you have any stellar deals on rare Bicycle decks, I'd be instantly interested.

That's exactly what I thought!

Well I guess it's better off Don answering before me because I was going to ask him if he was ever gonna shut up!
