Isn't the pre order period 72 hours. I believe what ever gets ordered gets printed

Re: C R Y P T -Mystery deck n.3
This could be true, at least I hope so. Otherwise I hope it won't be sold out in seconds. But with that price probably not, but also reading that TheCollector and brownsl are probably buying 6 decks and if others do so too, it could go fast.caniveski wrote:Isn't the pre order period 72 hours.

I will produce only the decks that will be sold during these 72 hours plus a few more for safety, as I always do.brownsl wrote:Lotrek stated this is a preorder. There is not a limit on how many he prints.
Although it's fun watching the piranhas devouring the decks in a few seconds and it certainly boosts creators' ego, I actually hate the idea of loyal backers being left out because "they aren't fast enough". On the other hand, there are people wanting/willing to buy more than one decks for whatever reasons. Again I don't like the idea of limiting their appetite. So I think that for very special and expensive decks, a limited time of 72 hours without any other restrictions is the best way to keep everyone happy.
Now, if someone in a globalised market (where you need surgery to remove smartphones from people's hands) manages to miss it, I can do nothing. Ebay will take care of them.

Re: C R Y P T -Mystery deck n.3
Well, as I get ready to post, Lotrek weighs in. So, thanks Lotrek. Let me scrap most of my last post and start over.
I am glad you are following the sales path of your last two mystery decks, and giving purchasers a limited time to order without worry of missing out on this new species you are making. With a one month turnaround, I would assume that you have your production schedule and materials already locked in, which is great. Honestly, I don't mind waiting months for your new creations. It is well worth the wait. The price just isn't an issue if you want the best. You get what you pay for. Rarity is really immaterial.
For those picking up a number of the decks, you are really in for a treat. It is so nice to have a mini collection of an issue of his great creations. I really wish I could join you. As it is, I have counted my pennies and am going for three of them. With an extra few days and a delay payment option, I might push for four but not sure yet. So, I will not be too far behind you. One is just out of the question.
As one of the people with slow fingers...Thanks!

I'm glad Lotrek thinks this way. GOB was my first Lotrek deck and he got me hooked.Lotrek wrote:Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.Bradius wrote:The price just isn't an issue if you want the best. You get what you pay for. Rarity is really immaterial.
Lotrek knows how to run an ethical business and I'll never back down from buying his decks. I only wish more designers and businesses view selling their products like Lotrek does. So far the only businesses I personally think give good value are Toyota, Chick-Fil-A, lots of small businesses, and Lotrek.

Re: C R Y P T -Mystery deck n.3
To go further on that thought, I am convinced of the huge value I get every time I pay for one of your decks. But, especially since I am really not a reseller or even a regular trader, what compels me is the emotions I get when opening them, discovering the art and the craft at their core.Lotrek wrote:Price is what you pay.

Hence the irresistible pull of those damn mystery decks!!!!

Re: C R Y P T -Mystery deck n.3
@OVSUB and Kurama:
I'm very glad you see it that way because this is what I'm struggling for: People happy with what they got regardless of the hype. Maybe because I was several times let down by stuff I bought that was presented like something very special and unique and OMG and so on, only to end up getting something that was OK.
This is the idea behind the mystery decks. After the sale I always say to myself:
"They're nuts. They paid a little fortune each to get something that they don't know what it is! I better work my ass off to make those wackos happy!"

They must all be sold out. I can't see them on the website...I have such fun trying to fling money at Lotrek.
Isn't this a modified website from a deli? Maybe a ham sandwich on rye?
