*OFFICIAL* 2018 'Deck of the Year' Awards

[Bradius]

TwoPiece said it well. My comment was based on some posts here about some sellers saying they didn't receive a shipment when the post office shows it was delivered, or complaining a deck was dent, and demanding money off and refusing to return it, and stuff like TwoPiece has experienced. It can be tough for buyers as well. However, I rarely have had problems with sellers. It seems there are much more problems with buyers trying to scam sellers.

One possible selection I'm eyeing is the Jack and Jokers Club Membership (think I am safe since there's 2 slots of this available), but I have no idea about this membership. I've checked online and don't see much explanation on this. Would anyone give me a run down of the benefits of this membership? Thanks!

Hi irtjames14,

Yes, The Jacks is Jokers website belongs to me.

I see Roope provided a link to the details (Thanks Roope) so hopefully you'll have all the details now but here's a quick overview:

Choice of any 2 club Decks
10% off all future purchases.
Entry into a members only prize draw for a brick of decks (held every time we receive 10 new members)
Loyalty reward points with each purchase (using the FLOK app).
Free Mystery deck with all purchases over £75 (excluding shipping)

I occasionally run other promos during the year and always try to add in something extra for club members.

We're also in the process of creating our first deck: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=13003#p146322" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and I'm hoping to do something with this that will also benefit our club members.

Any further questions feel free to reach out

Luckily, I haven't experienced anything. That was just something a comic seller shared on the comic boards recently.

I sold someone a half-brick of decks a few months ago (here, actually). They were all undamaged. I packaged them very well. They send pictures claiming a crease here, damage there, even though they were manufacturing errors that you would have a difficult time finding NOT on a deck with a thin tuck box like these have (and believe me, there is NO way that damage occurred with the way I bubbled wrapped them).

They wanted a partial or full refund. Problem was - they didn't pay Friends/Family. Now, I prefer that method because if there IS a squabble, I can refund you the full amount. If you pay for Product/Service, they take a % out of the transfer, and I can't provide the refund - PayPal has to. So they bitched about me not refunding them right away. Said something like, "okay don't do it the easy way then". F^&*er, you didn't pay me in the preferred manor, and I didn't get 100% of the money. A real genius.

F^&*. /rant

Thank you very much for the info. I will probably go with this membership as my pick then. Since the guy before me is still pending, I'll wait until he's done to make my announcement official!

Or if people want to keep the list moving, if I don't respond within 1-2 hours after HFMJ declaring his pick, this can be used on my behalf and just let the list move onto the next person! Since there's 2 slots of this available, I'll be a lock for this.

[HFMJ]

I will choose Stockholm17's prize. Congratulations on winning the best overall deck, Lorenzo!
I'm sorry for taking so long to choose a prize, but I had a pretty busy day today. Thank you for your patience!

[irtjames14]

I'll choose the Jack and Jokers Membership then.

@misterharmanko, I'll PM you for more details.

You're up now Calypso.


EDIT: uhhh is it just me or are the PMs stuck in your outbox too? sent PMs to misterharmanko and Calypso respectively but they're not getting sent...

[HFMJ]

I think they will move to Sent once they read them.

[Calypso]

Sorry to keep everyone waiting. I will select 2pc's mysterious mystery brick of mystery. I like surprises, especially when it comes to packaging.

JuFiN is up.

[Merlebird]

I will select 2pc's mysterious mystery brick of mystery.

You poor doomed bastard.

[Bradius]

You poor doomed bastard.

+1

[Calypso]

I will select 2pc's mysterious mystery brick of mystery.

You poor doomed bastard.

It's alright. I've accepted it.

[Eric Lee]

I will select 2pc's mysterious mystery brick of mystery.

You poor doomed bastard.

Ooo… pls do share pictures of the packaging and what were the contents of the mystery decks. Would love to see what twisted ideas he had to ensure the safety! (Nah, he's actually very professional when it comes to these, despite appearances to the contrary!)

Let the games begin!

[JuFiN]

Ill take Sinjin7's Brick!

SirCrunoke is next

[PipChick]

yay! so glad to see prizes being claimed and this giveaway movin' right along

[SirCrunoke]

Oh I'm allowed to make a decision now.

First I wanted to thank everybody that made this DOTY award possible, especially Amy for that huge encouragement!
Also a great thanks to all the volunteers of the prizes and congratulation to the winners of the DOTY awards and also the prize winners!
This means a lot to me, since this is actually the first time I really won anything of interest. I will try to help out next year somewhere!

Sorry that I was not that fast as some others in picking, yesterday and today morning I was following along every hour or so, but today was a busy one.

Since the winners in front of me got rid of my riddles for me, I'll choose the half brick from caniveski.
But it was no easy choice, there are so many good prizes.

I'll PM wingedpotato that he's up to make his choice.

EDIT: Also a thank you to JuFiN for reminding me per PM.

[wingedpotato]

I'm in the batter's box. Many great choices, but (excepting maybe the Zombies) I'm digging Roope's esoteric offering, so I claim Räpylätassu's mixed brick. Thanks SirCrunoke for the PM. I'll PM Saramia and let them know they are next!

Update: I've selected the decks. They've been (literally) thrown in the box. I've recorded the video. Uploading it to YT right now.

Dang, you're like destroying the decks as you throw them in the box/wall/floor/wherever the hell you're throwing them LOL. But it was a good 3 mins of entertainment, thanks for sharing!

Hoping those decks arrive in good shape Calypso!

[Bradius]

Oh lord that was funny. Thanks for sharing TwoPiece.

[Merlebird]

[lone tear rolls down cheek]

today we are all winners

[Timmargh]

I have mixed feelings about that; it was amusing, but those poor, poor cards.

[Saramia]

I'm #13 in the list of winners Great selection, thank you to everyone who has donated. And my choice is the "Azazaaz" 1 x Mixed Brick! It's a great selection! Thanks again! I will DM phantom1412 who's next on the list.

"These are worth like a hundred bucks. The cellophane was damaged when I packaged it. So, good luck with that!"

LOL

[STLBluesNut]

Yep, that video is going to be a classic. Put it in it's own thread and sticky it lol.

Watching that video reminded me of this old luggage commercial.

[JuFiN]

Since the variety in prizes is decreasing and I suspect my prize thus becomes more and more appealing I think now would be a great time (better late than never) to mention that I will cover cost of shipping within the United States, shipping outside the states quickly becomes extremely expensive for me and as such I would need that the winner pay a large portion of that shipping cost.
