Hey people.

I just had to share this with you. I got a great deal on Bicycle decks from eBay. 6 decks for £11 (incl. P&P - I chose 2nd class as I don't need them in a hurry). It works out at just £1.84 a deck.

Now, I really wear my cards out, so this is a godsend for me. The sellers name is chico97. Check it out.

Anyone know of any better deals than this? Would be very interested.

Edit: Just did a search on the board and found I can get them even cheaper from a place called Costco. Unfortunately, there are none in London. That sucks.

Edit 2: I just found that I can get a brick of 12 decks for £19.50 (incl. P&P) at magicbox. Works out at £1.63 a deck, not as cheap as Costco.

They're £1.47 in Asda - search the boards for 'Asda' and you'll find out more. They're normally in the wines/beers/spirits section hanging off the shelf.

Thanks for the tip-off though.

If you want really cheap for Torn and Restored effects or signed cards, you can't do better than the Bike Seconds at magicbox.uk.com - 99p a deck!

i found a load of bikes for £18 for 12 packs on ebay

you can also get bikes at penguin magic uk for about £1.54 + FREE delivery what ever size order. Unlike ebay and most magic shops, plus ASDA sell out fast of stuff like cards as they dont stock great masses of packs.

Received my cards today -- they came very quickly, I highly recommend this seller.

They're the ones with the rules to Hold'em in them, they're plastic wrapped and everything. They look oh-so-pretty sitting in my drawer.

As are the ones from ASDA

Looks like someone is making a quick buck out of people that aren't "in the know"

Do they have a yellow star over the words BACK and CARDS on the box ?

The one's I have from MagicBox are the same. They'll all just be from the same batch. I mean the THRI packs ain't gonna be exclusively ASDA, are they?

I bought some bikes from magictricks.co.uk recently, two blue, two red, and the blue ones have the 'hold 'em' instructions and annoying yellow star and the red ones don't. I don't think it's an Asda thing, more likely the USPCC know that poker is becoming very big over here at the moment and it's an extra selling point.

The point I was trying to make was more that the seller of these cards could be (and probably is) buying them from somewhere else cheaply and selling them for a profit.
The thing with the star was just to confirm that they were identical to the ones that I had purchased from ASDA for only £1.47, therefore not making them as cheap as was originally thought by skeen.

Oh I see - you reckon they're buying them from Asda and selling them on at a higher price... I very much doubt it. The profit margin is absolutely tiny buying from retail and then selling retail... the wholesale price has got to be WAY lower than £1.47.
