That kinda reads so wrong...

Or so right

[Harvonsgard]

A matter of perspective for sure.

Ohhhh I'll add it to my watch list, but most likely won't bid. The first one is always the most painful. I salute you bidders!

[Bradius]

Hey, at the starting price, I'm in. I'll start the bid, but may soon succumb to being a casualty of a bidding war. However, sometimes I have snuck in and grabbed a gem for a sweet price. Usually though it is through a snipe.

Well, as sad as it is, you have to basically become a sniper or a whale to win an eBay auction. Just the way it works out.

Oh wow, this will be a fun listing to watch

[justplaycards]

US shipping only . It will be interesting to see how much interest there is in these.

[Decknowledgy]

Bids probably won't shot up until the very last day haha

[kem-collector]

Already up to $41 and there is no Best Offer option. Also, there was originally a $500 Buy Now option, which is gone. Seller has high hopes...

[BaconWise]

Cartamundi is giving away 30 of their United decks in two days. How will that impact the listing?

I saw all the watchers and didn't want to see it just sit there like that for 10 days, so I kicked it up to $22.22 (I like the repeated digits thing....)

As for USPCC Customer Service - not even a name at the end, just repeating what I already had mentioned: "While we certainly appreciate your interest in our Celebration Deck, this product is not currently available. Like many companies we do create promotional/incentive items for our own use. This deck was created for our events this year to celebrate joining Cartamundi and was not set up as a commercial product for sale."

Maybe better luck with Cartamundi......

hehe i could not resist bidding and up it goes

[kem-collector]

$450?!?!? Well - I can sleep a bit easier now comparing that to a couple of my past purchases...lol!

I can't lie, if I were (really) rich I'd bid a crazy amount to win this Buuut it's already about ten times what I'd like to pay

Same here. I've spent a small bit more than that on cards, but it was for a special hard to find brick. These two decks are cool and all, but they are not Lotrek cool.

[badpete69]

that set is definitively not worth that... could be a pair of jokers just driving up bids and waiting to the end to pull out. Used to be an old tactic where 2 bidders would drive up the price very high and then pull out all their bids to make someone win at a decent price . let's see where this goes

[Harvonsgard]

I'm not that familiar with eBay and auctions. Do I understand corrcetly that, for example, r***1 and 3***7 can pull out the last second and then 3***0 would win the auction with his $65.66 bid?

As far as I know, it is not legal. At least here in Germany. I don't know if you still can pull your bit out. Just in the case if your account got hacked or else.
For other regions I can't say. But back in 2005 or so it was a normal way to drive the bidding a bit up.

[Harvonsgard]

I'll just keep my fingers crossed for the giveaway from Cartamundi.

Bidders can retract their bids. In fact, r1(104) (aka tf(104)) has had two bid retractions over the last 6 months.
(Geez, I hope they don't both retract. I don't want to actually have to pay $65.66. I just did it to see all those 6s.....)

[badpete69]

LMAO Hkeeba... I am sure that someone would take it off your hands at that price easy...

[kem-collector]

(Geez, I hope they don't both retract. I don't want to actually have to pay $65.66. I just did it to see all those 6s.....)

You don't know how close I was to bidding $69.69 when it was at $55....but I am trying to clamp down on my childish impulses.

P.S: That's a stupid plan imho.

Even with a simple card give-away, Cartamundi fails to deliver on time

Winners should have been announced on the 11th... smh

[Harvonsgard]

LOL, right? Planned tba at the 11th then they said in their instagram story they're going to do it at the 13th... still nothing. Must be pretty hard to do a giveaway !
