How many?

The offer is too good to pass up on since I couldn't find it for no less then $50 on ebay so I got a brick.

That's where the 6 in my cart went!

I know! Haha. I didn't have the money, had to move some things around in the bank accounts, by the time I was able to get it together they were sold out. I reached out to TrungBreezy, hopefully he will work with me on a good deal. But I would rather see them go to people on here even if I don't get any

Some update totals (from playing in the cart, and my ocd nature):
YMMV

Red Arcanes - 2473 left !!!
Black Artifice - 2581 left
Black Dealers - 647 left
Orange Hustlers - 88 left
White LTD - 3 left
Sultan Treasury - 141 left (my favorite of the lot, but having the Gold Arcanes soured me and I dumped them from the cart)

I don't even see the White LTD's listed

The white LTDs been there since Thursday. I wish they let everything out at once so I can stop paying shipping over and over....

So weird, they don't show up for me. Oh well, I was hoping to see the Whites, not the reds. But I agree, and I wish they would stop changing limits, I paid shipping on several seperate purchases of the Sultans so I could get a few, now they aren't limited to one, and I could have saved myself $20 in shipping alone. I feel like they are doing this all backasswards and it's really not a pleasant experience

I think we've found ellusionist's new motto!!!

Don't be happy with your orders yet....

Ellusionist removed my red dealer out of my already PAID order and they refunded back the $, just said ran out of stock the next couple of day.

How did u get this number?

I just kept adjusting the number in the cart (see: ocd). By now the numbers are smaller, but as you see, the White LTDs are now sold out. Just amazing to me that there are still so many Red Arcanes.

oh wow never thought of that

I bet once the sale is over we will see all the brand new limited colours of all the decks!

The presser deck arrived with a messed up/not glued well tuck bottom, is this reasonable? Or should I ask for a replacement?

That's pretty bad. If that deck was intended to be kept sealed for your collection, then you should definitely ask for a replacement (and E will do it, their customer service is pretty good). If that deck was intended to be a user deck, then I don't think its a valuable enough deck to go through the trouble, unless the cards inside are also dinged up.

Yup pretty much i guess?


-----------------------------------------

Like sinjin, i would change if it was deck, if I was keeping it or the deck cost $20++ USD. Else I won't really bother

This is the response I got from them. WTF? Aren't we buying the whole deck, cards inside + TUCK?

Hello!

We create decks for magicians and workers. For private orders we are not able to guarantee collector's condition. Our main concern is that the cards are in appropriate condition to use for performance.

I can replace this deck, this time. Future orders will probably not be eligible for replacement in these cases.

I will need you to destroy that deck - please cut the deck and box in half and send me a picture of that done to ct@ellusionist.com and include your current shipping address.

Thanks!

I'll cut up the bad one and they'll send one, I'm completely fine with that. What I'm pissed off about is that they think that tuck was acceptable and think they're doing me a favor by replacing a defected product.

Oh, the top banner on their clearance site does show 'all sales are final'. Usually they are always willing to work with you on issues, I have always had some of the best customer service experiences with them

This deck wasn't from clearance, the Presser deck.

Themed brick+3 boxes for $10 and a giant tacky close-up mat added for $120


Edit: Ok.. I am really eyeing those boxes... I'm always looking for cool ways to store my decks, and I really love purpose made products..

Don't get too many of the boxes, it isn't that great, I rather get jp playing cards, 36 storage box

For ellusionist support story (recently)

They cancelled my red dealers order, but still in process of shipping 2 uncut sheet...send a ticket to cancel they say can't. So 15 usd wasted on shippment ~.~

But my main annoyance which pissed me off is how they didn't explain or apologize in any of the replies. (Why they didn't manage their site/db properly.. etc)

One of my decks was missing a joker and when I told them, they sent me that single card LOL

Trungbreezy, I sent you a PM inquiring if you had a pair of Gold Arcanes to sell me.

Another clearance: http://ezine.ellusionist.com/q/KjQKJYA6 ... GEZoj733vm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

This one has $10 Gold & Black Artifices, $15 Red Arcanes and others. The Artifice's require BC membership so any Black Club members out there that wanna hook a brother up, please PM me

i'll second that sentiment on BC member decks.

Limit of 4 on the Gold Artifices. However, there are still 2535 Black Artifices available.

(Also, 329 Black Dealers left, 2073 Red Arcanes and as many Gaffs (> 5000) and Gamblers (>10000) as you'd like.

Holy... how many gamblers did they print...

I'm really puzzled by this fire sale. Why is E dumping off all their "limited" decks? Surely they could've continued trickling them out for promotions over the next couple of years. All this is doing is basically de-valuing their "limited" decks, at least in the short term. It can't be an issue over physical space. Is it a financial issue and they need a quick infusion of cash? Like I said, very strange...

I'm thinking devaluation IS the goal, they are probably gearing up for some new limited, special edition decks and want them to command a higher price without competing for resale prices on their older decks. Flood the market with previously rare and limited decks to bring their price down then release a bunch of brand new, super rare, super limited decks that will immediately have a higher intrinsic value, and be rarer in the market

.... release a bunch ....


sorry J. O .... !
