Sharpie's "Giving It All Away" Black Friday Thing

Unread post by Sharpie »

Hooray for Black Friday!! :D

Here's the deal. I need your help to clear my closet. No joke.

So for today only, starting at midnight PST, the first 25 people to PM me their interest will get a brick of decks (that's 12, not 6) … almost ABSOLUTELY FREE!! :shock: :? :shock:
$25 for USA and $50 for International. That covers shipping, materials and Paypal fees (plus a few bucks for my gas and time ;) ).

That's right, I'm so desperate to clear stuff out, that I'm pretty much giving it away. All selected (by ME) from my closet (see photo). Some dented, some not, and more than a few surprises.
From dinged White Rabbits to mint White Lions. Perfect Red Imps to less-than-perfect Red JAQKs. Easy to find Rebels and Fultons, to hard to find Ornates and Ralph Laurens.

Take a look at my "closet o' stuff" to be pulled from (I made it huge for you. Please ignore the mess).
Right now, it's 1 brick per customer (this may change, depending on the interest). No two are alike, and there will be no duplications within each brick.

Questions are welcome (post them here), but only the first 25 people to confirm will get one. Fun starts at midnight (30 minutes from now).

Thanks for looking and Happy Holidays!

Ok, 3 or 4 of you jumped the gun. But I'll hold a brick for everyone who's PM'd so far (this includes you Eoghann ;) ).

Couple things to clarify.

I pick the decks, not you. :roll:
Sorry guys. There are limits to even my generosity.

And that being said...
If there are certain decks you would rather NOT see, go ahead and mention them in your PM and I'll try to avoid them.

8 bricks gone so far. :shock:

You pick! Whoops, got it. Disregard the last elaborate PM then.
You know my style and I trust your judgement. :D

And sorry I jumped the gun, it's 3 AM here and just happened to still be online and saw your thread.

Slowed down a bit. Almost half gone. :shock:
Going to bed now, so PM away and I'll get back to everyone tomorrow in the order they are received.

Closet feels cleaner already. ;)

Thanks everyone!

Holy crap! This is like a Dale Mathis reward. That guy sure has started a trend. So Sharpie what gives? You do I guess. Just curious to the reason besides just clearing out a closet.

Wow! That's a lot of PMs. :shock:

Definitely blew past my 25 brick limit. But if you don't get a congratulatory PM from me today, don't despair quite yet. I'll go through them all by timestamp and confirm everyone's order. Once that's done and the dust has settled, I might open up a few more spots. Stay tuned. ;)

In the mean time... please stop PMing me! :lol:

Thanks everyone for a great clearing event. 8-)

Decided to open up 10 more spots, to accommodate those who PM'd me before I said stop. Congrats again to everyone. :)

Here's a look at a few of the decks I'll be sending to some lucky people. 8-)

You know, someone told me that the "Rarebit" place is here in Charleston a few days back. Frnakly, it's news to me, and I thought I knew all the little lesser-known places around here, but I'd never heard of them.

I guess I'll have to look them up, eh?

Dude, if you can get decks directly from that place you're gonna have a ton of PMs coming your way :lol:

IIRC you still had to rake up a $100 tab at the restaurant to get the cards or something like that. Again, I say, Sharpie, you da man!

Well, Tom - you're at the top of the list when I start picking them up. I'm going to test the thesis that they aren't available for sale, only for $100 spent during a single visit. I have my ways...

Hey everyone, I'm fine. Walrus can stop worrying.

And to be clear, so no one's hopes are too high.
The info and pictures I've posted, represent the entire pool of what is going out in this brick sale.
Not what everyone will definitely get. Come on, guys. That would be silly. ;)

Some recent PMs have had certain expectations that are... shall we say... disturbing. :shock:
But I will definitely try to make each one worth it, considering the price. :roll:

So far, many payments received. Shipping should start on Monday. If you sent a PM and haven't received any info from me, send another. It's completely possible it got lost in the shuffle. :|

O, and ratledge, can I be 3rd in line? :D
No matter where you go... there you are :|

FYI, I got my brick from Sharpie today! Great selection of decks, some of which I didn't already have, so that was nice. Some very bare bones and common decks, and a few that are a bit harder to come by. Overall, I'm quite pleased and thanks to Sharpie for a fun and generous little giveaway.
