*** I modifid the title from "Friars Club" to "Bicycle Holiday" ***

I posted this set yesterday on UC, but only one man contacted me and he wanted to trade. So now I have to try here.
Now I have one more set for sale. It was ordered by a member here but he now has some difficulties with the payment. If you are interested in these decks, please PM me. I am in Taiwan, please let me know where you are in the PM. The total price for this set is $40 plus $6.5 postage (registered airmail), in other words, $46.5 in total.

Please note that the ORANGE decks are sealed and in perfect condition, but the remaining DARK BLUE ones have some scratches on them. They are sold as is.
pics are here: ~~http://www.unitedcardists.net/uc/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6082~~
~~Comparison:~~ ~~eBay search result~~

Also, I have a spare set of Biycle Racer Back No.2 GOLD EDGES for sale. $88 a set, shipping not included.
Comparison: http://www.ebay.com/itm/380349286229

And several sets of Bicycle Holiday tin sets. $28 a set, shipping not included.
Comparison: eBay search result

Thank you

Actually I charged $5 for shipping 2 decks worldwide if you read my post on UC (and I paid another $1.5 for the "registered" option in order to track the package). OK, PM me if interested.

Thank you, Kanped. It's a smooth transaction.

These decks were completely sold out in Japan 2 weeks ago, they are no more available. I mean now the only way to get them is go to eBay, and buyers have to compete with each other.

Wow. You are lucky to have these and to be able to make money on them!

It is not a matter of luck, nor did I get them from Santa Claus

You have to explorer all the avenues and spend time, money, and efforts to get the good stuff you want. No one would come to knock your door and ask you take them.

What's the red thing with the (is that Chinese?) writing on it you packed with the Holiday Set above?

xZEROx · « **Reply #9 on:** February 26, 2012, 01:04:44 AM »

Yes it's Chinese. It's what we call Red Pockets. During the Chinese New Year (not Jan. 1st), those who are married and/or has a job, will give these envelops filled with money to the singles, children and those who are not working. It's a sign of good luck.

Most of the times there will be writings on these envelops, to wish the receiver good luck, although at times it could be just pictures or last name of the giver. In this particular case, the writing reads "wish everything goes well as to your wish", or something like that.

Someone could probably add on to this, it's just on top of my head.

There's one thing you don't know... they were free in the convenience stores by CNY

I got too many, so...

I thought the buyer (in UK) of this Bicycle Holiday set might like them. At least D&D has taught many people the Chinese word "龍" (dragon) $:-\$ $:-\$

Don Boyer · « **Reply #11 on:** February 26, 2012, 06:08:40 AM »

You don't honestly think that many non-Chinese speakers buying the Chinatown deck actually took the time to remember the characters for "dragon", do you?

"龍" (dragon) happens to be a very difficult character for non-Chinese speakers, I guess they can only remember its outline and someday might confuse it with "能" (the auxiliary verb "can" in English).

You reminded me that it's time to collect 2012's Wynn $8 chip

its called "HONG BAO" Red Bag/Envelope. Its used to place money in to give as presents during weddings, special events and what not. Sometimes I just use it to put money that I budget in. ^_^

now a days here in China they just use it when they don't know what gift to give to someone so they just give them a hongbao.

Dude, those are cute! The pig looks like it's a still from the movie "Babe", and the bull looks like the bull statue on Wall Street downtown.

haha, I see. I know the movie, but... isn't that for kids?

Here we also use bull and bear to describe the stock market.

Just saying.. In your ebay search result, some were cheaper than what you offer...

Ohh..thanks. Those sets look old and their condition is "used"

Even though they are new and in good shape, they have only 2 sets. After they are sold out, mine are still the cheapest

"Babe" is more of a "family" movie, really...

@digipunk can u help me buy this deck please?i've alredy pm u but no reply.

thanks

@anep21, I was interrupted by other things when I was replying your message, and I didn't send it. sorry $:-\$ $:-\$

I won't buy items for anyone. If I did this once, then others would ask me to do likewise for them. This is the 4th or 5th time I have to say sorry I don't buy items for anyone. This is my principle. There are too many collectible decks still cheap here, I can not buy them for everyone.

All items I sell on these forums are those I already have (all of them were bought one year ago) and I think they are spare ones to me. Hope you understand this is different from buying item for others.

There are 3 ways you may get this deck from TW:
1. one day I happen to buy other decks from the sellers who are also selling this deck, I will buy it for you.
2. you have a deck that I want and you ask me to get this deck to trade for it.
3. you go to ebay and find a TW seller and ask them to get this deck for you. I guess they may do this for you easily. Those sellers often have good relationships between them. They might charge you more though (as far as I've seen, they charge more on eBay for the same item).

For example, this seller is in TW: http://stores.ebay.com/hung1363. I don't know who he is (actually he should be one of the sellers here I know, but they always use different ids on eBay). Since he lists items on eBay, he should be able to communicate with you in English and would like to sell decks worldwide.
