Looking at their other listings, I've not convinced they are not on drugs themselves.
I've spent way more than I care to admit on playing cards, but I'll still buy just about anything that Lorenzo, Jackson, or Gio make.

CRAZY
Jesus Christ. eBay should expand the options available to describe condition, "used" doesn't do it justice.

Maybe something like "trashed", "modern art", or "passed through my dog".

I think $175, but on a site that isn't using USD natively.

it's $175. A lot of European countries (particularly) use a comma rather than a period to divide major and minor currency units

The prices these went for is absolute insanity. I never expected them to get this high. So glad I got mine last year before the S17 prices went through the roof.

To be fair, the Red Label came with an additional normal Le Chat Rouge deck, which is about $100, so the Red Label itself sold for about $1125, but still... :shock: :shock:

Those are my auctions, I started them low cause I'm getting out of collecting. I ain't on crack but at same time I'm not complaining about people wanting to spend their money however they want.

As for the shipping, you have to put something into ebay so I default it to flat rate shipping on everything. Needless to say, itll be going out fully insured and very well packed.

Take the title of this thread with the necessary grain of salt. It's more of an anthology of auctions that break a certain mark or... well for people that are indeed on crack for listing e.g. cheap ad decks for $10,000.

In any case nobody has to justify their sales or purchases anyways.

A Gemini prototype? Cool. I am left speachless at the price for the Le Chat Red Label. That was before I was collecting and I think I paid something like $200 for mine. If the red label went for what it did, I would think the prototype would go for more.

Yeah this was more about what people are willing to spend these days. I bought a Gemini prototype just like this one last September for €215 and a Red Label in November for $440.

I've noticed prototype decks in the past seem to have not been nearly as desirable as they are now. I'm not sure what changed.

All of these solid (crazy?) prices for some of Lorenzo's rarities...Lorenzo may need to hire some body guards soon....

Meanwhile, 'Ol #9 will remain on my wall for now, but might get moved to a vault soon.

For those of you worried about missing the latest David Blaine drop, no worries. You can get it for the small, small price of around a 1430% mark-up, only minutes after the deck sold out.

Oh yeah. Original price: $21 per deck. And he's even making you pay for shipping as well! At least the 2nd seller is OBO and free shipping. :D
