Since everyone insisted on stepping on Evan's EBAY post and a second topic sprouted in the PCP, I've split out the conversation posts on the original topic and merged it with this one.
So you guys like these ones more than the originals? How come?
The weathered look and lighter color makes them more distinctive. Personally, I think they should have simply sold these up front with the others.
The international shipping for 3 decks is outrageous, $26 cheapest option to Australia.
It wasn't that much cheaper for me - they wanted nearly $20 to ship three decks to New York via US Mail - I use a PO Box so UPS and other shippers were not an option. I ended up cutting my order back to only two decks to get the total cost down - shipping dropped to just under $12.
While I don't feel Evan's heart was in the right place regarding his actions in getting his decks sold for more than retail while suppressing information about how to get them much more cheaply, that's something he has to live with. They're the kind of tactics used by rip-off artists, though I'm not calling him such since he is indeed selling his decks.
But Alex is correct in that this is a
caveat emptor world we live in, and that a simple Google search does show the Ellusionist page selling the decks. I'm sure they could have found a way to suppress it from appearing on Google, so the fact that they didn't means this deck is fair game to find at retail by anyone who knows how to use Google. Any fool not taking the trouble to research the deck with even the simplest of search deserves what they're getting - one terrifically-expensive deck of cards including a penalty fee for being uninformed and too lazy.
