What purchase do you regret making the most?

[xela]

Some of us are quite the enthusiasts here. Many of us went through the "OMGIMUSTHAVEITALL" stage when we started collecting.

My biggest regret has to be the D&D IAOCP books I bought for the decks. I adore the cards, but when I bought the books I figured somewhere out there in the world would be 12 people who would want them. Turns out I was wrong. I had never had such a difficult time getting rid of a product. It seems D&D have the same issue, since their "extremely limited" run of these books is still in stock in their store.

What's your story?

I would have to say mine would spending over $150 for 2 LTD's. not that great of a deck now, Hasn't even become that rare, still around $40- $60.

Buying the dealers dozen for the midnight fuel since it was limited to 250 only thinking "dayum dawg eryone will want this" then having the most difficult time selling it for $30.

4 bricks of fantastique playing cards... still in stock.

[John B.]

hmm well 1st is the heritage series, this one
 http://www.bmpokerworld.com/bicycle-Heritage-Series-Playing-Cards-4-Deck-Set.php
I bought it from the1eyedjack, when I really did not have the money for it and now they sit around and out of all my warped decks, this is the worse. and then the next would be vortex, I love the decks, but I originally bought a brick of the decks, with the idea that I could trade and sell them easily when I got them. I still have 5 sealed and an uncut that I am trying to trade.

[KPopFever605]

For me, it would have been the two bricks of Black Crowns - I honestly thought they would sell out and be a huge hit, such as their precessors, I still have nearly a brick and a half.

I thin they're rare, At least you got the opportunity to break even.

2 bricks of Green Crown V1. They haven't gone up in price at all, and no one wants them.

[loldudex2]

My 13 bricks of White Arrco. I could've sworn they'd be the next big thing!

EDIT: I mean DECKS, not BRICKS!

4 Lockdown by Rob Greenlee two get 2 ltd decks

[Don Boyer]

4 bricks of fantastique playing cards... still in stock.

Not on their site, unless you're planning to buy the uncut sheet.  They've been sold out for months.

Though I will confess that at the lecture last night, they were giving "goodie bags" to anyone who arrived in costume, consisting of a few pieces of candy, some stickers/patches and a pack of Fantastique!

My biggest regret was going partners with a co-worker on a GROSS of Americanas.  They did not move well.  Still have some, if anyone's interested!  I have to get my ass in gear and put them on eBay already...

[thanamagic]

actually they are back in stock now just higher price then when they were first released. : http://shop.dananddave.com/fantastique.html

[thanamagic]

the bricks of white lion b was kind of hard to sell too. but sold all of it.

[Fanofyankees13]

Interesting topic. I'd have to say White Arrcos or Green Crown v1s. I got a brick plus of each and have struggled getting rid of them ever since. I could've sworn the White Arrcos would be in high demand once they sold out....man was I wrong.

There must be either a website error or that's a special "membership" link, because the deck doesn't appear on their shop's list of available playing cards.

BTW: please try to avoid double posting.

[chdmagicdude]

@Don Boyer you have to such fantastique and it well bring up the page

[Don Boyer]

Then it's a website error that it's not appearing on their list of playing cards.  Or perhaps an intentional oversight.

Did I mention they were giving out Fantastique decks at the seminar Thursday night?

[AoS]

the VORTEX DECK, never got it.

how do i delete my post? i accidently made 2. the second one was an identical post as my first so i tried to delete it, i counldnt find where its at so i had to change the subject to white lion.

[dee1orean]

It's interesting that most posts here are about decks that were purchased with the intention of reselling for profit.
I don't really regret any of my purchases but two decks I bought that I don't actually like are the English Laundry deck and the Propaganda deck.

[Knobz1]

I would have to agree with what a couple people have already stated.   I bought a brick of White Arrcos thinking they were gonna be hot hot hot.   Boy, I was totally mistaken. 

 Another example would be when the black Friday sales and holiday promotions were going on last year.   Spend so much money and you get an LTD deck, or a BGV1, or Red Artifice etc...  Well, I fell victim to that and now I have 20 decks of White Arcanes, 20 decks of Black Arcanes and roughly 20 each of every color of the Artifice deck.   Was that a stupid move I made last year?   Heck no.   Got some sweet rare decks.   Now sitting here looking at all these decks..........I ask myself again.   Was this a stupid move I made.   Yeah, I'm thinking so.   Question is.......Will I fall victim again this year?    

[Don Boyer]

Question is.......Will I fall victim again this year?   

I won't.  I can't - no choice.  Money's gotta go elsewhere.

What about some other purchases?  Anyone here buy a Merz67 deck?  Some goofy deck that you never, ever use?

That's cute, unfortunately for you your IP is logged here: 99.92.203.22

That same IP is linked to almost a dozen other accounts, all of which are linked to your original account: eggman/walrus

The best part? You admitted to receiving your decks in another thread on UC:

Hey, I received my three Vortex deck. I did not think they would be here prior to end times. I have to say they feel very nice. Not nice enough to make up for the aggravation but I have to give credit where credit is due. I am trying to determine if they are the ones I backed or are they my bounty for winning the last person to post thread.

Eggman, Walrus, AoS, whatever you're called - that's pretty lame.  You have to have better things to do with your time, don't you?  Try knitting or crossword puzzles, or perhaps sudoku.  Even jerking off in a closet would be more productive.  'Cause if being a dick and hiding under so many aliases for the sole purpose of busting chops unnecessarily is the only thing driving you, you lead a very sad life and should seek professional help.  Like, yesterday.

Here's a good joke you could use, Don:
" You should Wear a condom on your head... Because if you're going to be a dick, you might as well dress as one." Just thought I'd tell you that one for later use
