Love Is A Smoke V2 Legacy Edition by Riccardo Conturbia (Velata Playing Cards)

Unread post by vasta41 »

According to the TaiPESTRY thread, you can order these by emailing Riccardo at riccardo.conturbia@gmail.com for now. I live in the US and he quoted me 17 euros/dollars for the deck and 17 for shipping as well. :( He also said a half brick would cost around 30 for shipping, which is obviously a better value.

For people in the US, if my math serves, it'd be $34 for one deck. If someone like me ordered a half brick (at $17 each) and shipping was in fact $30, then the total would be $132, divided by six would be $22 each. Then it would probably cost around $4 to ship domestically, making the grand total $26 for anyone who wants one.
Might be worth it, assuming no 3rd party, US retailers will be selling it. PM me if you want one and if I get 5 bites, I'll probably pull the trigger.

EDIT: I just talked to Riccardo and he is willing to offer a half brick (and brick) at a discount so the grand total will be around $23. Please let me know if you're interested and I'll buy a brick/half brick right away.

Sure, I'd be open to one if pooling together means saving money.

At this point, I'm definitely getting at least a half brick. The only question now is if there's enough interest to get a brick. I'll wait a few more days then I'll keep anyone that wants at least one deck posted via PM.

Plus one for fondue warmer.

You mean you actually named your current company after a chocolate fondue and not Raphael's La Velata? :ugthink: :ugdance:

Vasta, did you ever end up purchasing the half brick/brick? Otherwise, Zurgery is selling them in his buy/sell thread, so I'll have to go with that.

You're right, you did. I just scrolled up and saw it. I'm so sorry I missed that! I was replying to my PMs and totally forgot to check the thread. I'll PM you soon and see if there's a way I can make this up.
