Lee Asher Jerry's Nuggets Sale 2013

[blastercast]

I managed to reserve a $200 one but didn't have quite enough (was £20 off) so let it go
Well there's always a later sale?
Anyway, I want a used one, I would pay £60 for a used in decent condition, I don't keep decks sealed so don't mind

A decent condition one has an eBay market price between $125 and $200. They're very sturdy and lasting cards

I think I was still sleeping when the sale went on...  Not that I was planning to buy one.

GB£60 = US$91.09  That's a good deal short of the going rate, even for a used deck.

I'm very wary when it comes to Jerry's Nugget decks and eBay.  There's just too much fraudulent crap floating around in the marketplace.  And as Lee said, the forgers have stepped up their game and are actually making cards that are practically passable instead of cheap-ass cardboard crap.

Lee is pretty much among the best chance you have, but it looks like the "scratch-and-dent" merchandise is sold out.  Get them as soon as you can from him.  Yes, there's another sale coming later in the year, but the sales can't possibly last forever and the prices inch higher with each progressive sale.

[Michael]

I was looking forward to the sale until I saw that he was selling only "mint" condition decks. Nothing wrong with those decks but definitely way out of my price range. I still have this fantasy of walking into a hobby or card shop and finding them on a dusty shelf being sold for a few dollars. What's a little more practical and on my "hope it happens" list is that the second half of Asher's sale does include some of the not-so-perfect ones that are within my price range. I can cross my fingers as much as I want but I understand if most of those are gone or almost gone. (

[kdklown]

I had a friend help me out and was able to get two.  I have no idea if they are the same or different colors.  If I got two of the same I will soon be in the market for a color swap if anybody on here has multiples!  :-)

Addendum: Both decks delivered... Both decks Blue.  Dammit!

I am seeing them start to show up on eBay. $450 a deck seems to be the going rate. There a D&D signed deck out there for half that. $250 ones don't sell quickly on eBay, it will be interesting to see what the $450 decks do. That's one deck that will never make it into my mailbox at that price.

Yeah, those would be the idiots - er, I mean, "speculators" - who bought decks thinking they'd make a big, fat profit by flipping their purchase, perhaps even using the profit to pay for their own lower-priced purchases.  These are likely the same speculators who bought Black Ghost 1st Edition or Gold Arcane for $75 worth of E merchandise, thinking they could flip it for $200.  A year ago, maybe - today, not so much...

I usually just list in UTC (a.k.a. Greenwich Mean Time) and let the rest of the gang figure it out.  Some places have odd time zones or don't observe Daylight Saving Time/Summer Time.  BTW: "Canada" has many time zones, including some that don't observe DST - it's not all "PDT"!  I think Australia is also in more than one zone.

I just based it on the more common timezones according to the main cities in those countries, except for canada (the PDT was based on Vancouver time because, from what I saw, the timings were the same as EDT for Toronto and others) but I get what you mean tho. I used worldtimebuddy.com to get the times. Just thought I'd help out a little.

The Australian East Coast time is correct. For added reference: the central/middle Australian time for the release is 10:30am, and the west coast release is 9am.

[Don Boyer]

I use UTC for one simple reason - most people know or can figure out their deviation from UTC, and UTC is never affected by seasonal changes on and off summer time, which can take place at different times in different parts of the world, or not at all  for most equatorial nations and a few parcels of land here and there.

So, any word on amount of decks to be released for sale?

[Nurul]

Cheers don, I'll remember that for next time

Nope, no news on the amount of decks. However, I have dropped him an email regarding it, will let you know if or when I hear back.

[Michael]

How many has he released in the past years? I thought he's been pretty consistent with that. Didn't he release half that amount earlier this year?

Half what amount?  We don't know how many he's releasing yet.  His last sale was for a gross, right?

The sale for 2012 - I think that one sale that year was canceled because of the strain it was putting on the servers; too many buyers couldn't get through and only a small number of the total decks were sold.  It's why he changed the system this year.

If I recall properly he normally sells a gross a year. Earlier this year he sold 72 decks if memory serves me right. I was referring to the fact that 72 was half a gross so I was trying to make the point that he is possibly putting up another 72 for sale to make his total this year a gross.

That makes sense.  It's probably the case.

details abt Oct 2 2013 have been released: http://www.leeasher.com/jerrys_nugget_details_oct_2013.html

[Don Boyer]

Another half-gross, just like last time.  All decks in perfect condition, no "scratch and dent" models.  Tiers run from $200-$450. Wed 2 Oct 9pm EDT.

[Joker and the Thief]

Jesus, the price and value is slowly crawling up. 2 years ago they were being sold for around $300-350. I think we can expect the prices on eBay to creep up to $400+

[Fred]

Is anyone legitimately interested? Personally i dont see the point of buying one just to resell straight after.. I think it would be wise to only purchase for your own collection and sit on it for a good solid 10 years+. However, JNs might be useful to conduct trades with!

Or open it! The way they snap is just so... awesome.

[kdklown]

I'll try for one of the first two.  If I don't hit that lottery I'm gone.  At $200 it's essentially a bargain.  Ridiculous for a deck of cards but still a bargain on the open market.

Next thing you know you'll be staring at the 320$ lottery tier and be like "ah well tis' gon go up neway, mite asw'l". I'd be careful of the 'consequences' if i allowed myself to get into the position of intending to purchase =p

[Fanofyankees13]

I'm just going to sit back and enjoy the show. The prices this time around are more than I'm willing to spend.
