Card from the OUTBACK

 
Project by
Cards from the OUTBACK
Adelaide, Australia

First created, $2,000 goal- no mention of printer
1 for $10 AUD, 2+ a chip protector  for $25 AUD, 2+chip+t-shirt for $50 AUD(Add $10 AUD to ship outside Australia)

They only list extra shipping at the $50 level- Could be a big mistake? ? ? ?

Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

Wow.  Red flags everywhere.

"I see red, people..."

I'm betting that this is someone utterly inexperienced - who offers to ship a deck ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD for $10 AUD?  I can't even get decks shipped within the US at that price.  The Aussie dollar is nearly 1:1 with the American dollar, so it's not some currency conversion mistake or something.

It is essentially a tourism deck - a souvenir deck.  I wouldn't expect much from it, other than pretty pictures.  And I fail to see how this creator's going to deliver for those rates.
