But he's been an ebay member since March 7, 2018. Legit to me. :roll:

Lot of 19 Russian decks. New, unopened. Asking price: ONE THOUSAND AMERICAN SMACKEROOS.
Maybe they were thinking 1,000 rubles?
Okay, so then what's this guy's excuse?
Probably this:

"All just collected last 3 months."

S/he bought the hype train and is trying to sell high. What is this worth? Half?
I messaged this guy once on another auction and asked about pricing negotiation. He got upset, 4 letter words and all. Hes probably upset he spent too much on something he is not well informed of.

This is the most bonkers asking price I have ever seen.

A five-figure USD asking price? For a listing that has:
  • No picture of the backs?
  • No mention of any tuck/box?
  • A corner tear on the KoS?
  • A set of spot cards that may or may not include each number for each suit (given that the pictures are unclear)?
And they don't even throw in shipping! :shock:

Well, that is a strong asking price. I think I will pass on it.

I suggest a card speculator snap it up and repost it for double the price. Easy money.

The seller has been on eBay since 2011 with 400+ transactions and a 100% rating. Now has just a few crazy items for sale. That is fishy.

PipChick, you are not dealing with someone that is playing with a full deck....Sorry, but I couldn’t help myself.

Seriously, they are obviously inexperienced. Assuming this deck does sell for that kind of amount at auction (a big assumption on my part), it is also because the buyer knows the auction house has had the cards carefully authenticated by an expert to make sure it is not a forgery and it’s condition is properly represented. For anything that expensive, expert forgery is a real risk.

This devotee of the art of the deal wants USD334.85 for a deck produced in 2016 in an edition of "only 5000." Seems like a steal to me!

Here's one. It never ceases to amaze me that someone would actually think 12 decks are worth $20,000.

Any takers,

I did catch someone trying to sell Gold Monarchs Playing Cards for $1500 USD but looks like it was taken down. I thought that was very optimistic alone but some of the ones I've just read here, well.. WOW! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I am not sure why this was in the Collectible Playing Cards section, but for $9,500, it can be yours with free economy shipping. Or, make an offer.

That makes the $10,000 pop-tart, I saw a few months ago look like a bargain.

Okay, this may be legit, I don't know. A complete set of Ellusionist's decks. If you have the cash ($8,000), he has the cards. Domestic shipping is free.
