I saw that one last night and it seems that he made the correction.

I know that the Cage Garden v1 & v2 decks are rare, but this listing is a little ridiculous ... one of the decks is even opened

This seller does not know much about these ...and i think had some bad information given to him when he got the deck (500 years old )

Any way starting bid of £100,000 or buy me now at £250,000

Dude has gone beyond Crack

Does this guy have any provenance to these items or just his words?

"left to me from the late Lord Ritchie of Dundee and had been in his family for hundreds of years."

"I understand that they date to about 1500s and predate any cards used in the UK, but I am not a historian, so use this as a guide not fact."

He may not be a historian, but is he blind? One of the cards says 1793.

[hblaizek]

Where does it say 1793 (merely out of curiousity)?

[cherrynukacola]

4 of coins. It's not too clear in the photos, but would be more easily seen in person.

Hi sorry not an ebay post but

https://therussiangenius.com/collection ... d-fontaine" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - $650

[flashcards]

Funny, it says only 1 left but when I added 2 to my cart, it accepted it. Wouldn't you want to block that from happening if indeed there was only 1 available? Could cause some confusion. Of course, there could be another explanation...

I'm just going to go with money-laundering for $100, Alex.....

$1K for 1 deck....need I say more?

Funny story:

I posted above market value to receive the best payment available. I got a few offers from a super low-baller who sent a message and claimed, "I own more than a few of these and this deck isn't worth close to what you're asking for", put nicely (my first return offer was $500). IMO not good business to piss off a seller that has something you want...

The deck sold to a buyer that offered me $800.

Morale of the story: If you don't ask you may never know the answer. In this case, if you could make more money, you'll never know if you don't ask for more.

Any reason why he would put such a high price?

Dunno. You can get the same deck for $9.50, though.

It actually stated 12 decks on the description. So $95 for 12 decks is pretty reasonable

Did this really sell for $1000?!

[flashcards]

Well this one's $1,500 but it includes free shipping...so there's that...

This deck originally cost what the seller is asking for shipping (and is still available at Penguin)

Says right in the description....

"Currently away on vacation! I've changed the price to dissuade anyone from purchasing while I'm away. "

[flashcards]

It looks like he previously sold them for $4.86 each. It would be quite a nice surprise if someone decided to pay the "vacation price" while he was gone. Would probably pay for his whole trip!

[theCapraAegagrus]

$1,500 lol:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Branle-Tesoro- ... 0033.m2042

Granted, the Branle Tesoros are nice decks, but IMO you're a fool if you pay more than $200 for one of these.

Lot of 19 Russian decks. New, unopened. Asking price: ONE THOUSAND AMERICAN SMACKEROOS.

Okay, so then what's this guy's excuse?

There are permanent facilities that can provide around the clock care for their condition. Kindness dictates I not mention their ailment.

Probably this:

"All just collected last 3 months."

S/he bought the hype train and is trying to sell high. What is this worth? Half?

You'd know better than I. Fontaines and Gatorbacks aren't really my bag, so I don't know what price point they usually command. I've only been in the hobby long enough to know that "almost two thousand dollars" was not the correct answer.

I personally wouldn't pay more than $500, but that comes to $20/deck and I know fanboys will pay big money for those crappy decks, I mean Fontaines.

[Merlebird]

You tell me which thread this one belongs in. I guess technically it comes out to USD7.5 shipped per deck, but who's going to buy five+ gross split bricks of random modern decks from a seller with a feedback score of zero?
