I was so blown away by my copy, that I can't phatom what would happen if a brick of these would arrive at my doorstep. 😃

The additional problem with this listing is that the very similar but improved IMO Hesslers only cost $14

Lel, he’s still fishing for dumb folks that have no clue about the deck being $20 a while ago.

That is a most interesting post on sanity and madness. I feel like it belongs in the Big Bang Theory (my lunchtime TV program of late - time for lunch) :ugdance:

This one is not an eBay sale but someone on Facebook is selling what they claim is a complete Lotrek/Oath collections for $32,500. This is for what appears to be 87 decks, so an average of about $370/deck. Looking through the pictures, I am not sure this includes some of his error decks and some of the more recent decks do not look to be included, at least not in the pictures. They do not provide a list of the decks, just pictures.

Maybe this is not a crazy deal but it is an expensive one!

I’m not a FB member to that group, so can you provide pictures of the pics they did supply. Thanks.

Before I made my post, I did not know Kevork posted this also in the Complete Lotrek thread in the Buy/Sell forum. He gives the link to it there. I am guessing that won't work for you. The seller posted 10 photos of the decks on FB.

The picture with decks laid on the tile floor IS MINE from October 19th, 2022. He's disabled commenting on the post and I can't claim the photo as mine on FB. He ignored my message to please delete the photo. His listing mentions the photos are a sample of his decks so it's possible there's more than what is shown. He's got some #1s and #2s according to him, but he has historically asked much higher prices than market rate. Unless he provides an entire list and photos, it would be hard to know what he defines as "complete." Here's the photos he posted for his decks: https://imgur.com/a/IdyYHjE

I know he can be a bit cantankerous. Asking him to remove the photo might offend him. Historically, I feel his prices are a bit outrageous.

He just deleted the photo and said it wasn't intentional. I understand he likely wasn't trying to be malicious, but it didn't sit right with me that my decks were in someone else's listing. I don't doubt he has the decks that my photo depicted.

I'd be instantly suspicious of someone trying to get $32k for decks they can't even photograph and resort to stealing someone else's pics. I don't know who that person is but that screams "potential scam" to me.

I don’t think it’s a scam, but I do find what he does incredibly distasteful. He consistently uses his platform for personal gain by grossly inflating the value of everything he ever offers up for sale. And from what I’ve seen, he can be quite arrogant about it. Hard pass.

Add to the fact that there is no list of decks; I would not consider this honest at all.

It is not the price, it is the marketing trick - I think the seller is being deceptive photographing 2 of the deck but ebay disagree.
He has two of the deck but IMO it should be made clear (earlier than in the description) that the price is for one deck
