[ISO] Bicycle Zippo Deck

[Anthony]

I'm looking for a 2nd Zippo deck to add to my collection to crack open. I have a sealed one so I'm fine with an open deck as long as it's complete and in good condition.

Thanks

I have an open one for you, only opened a few times to review on my channel.

[Anthony]

Fantabulous! Send me a PM with what your wanting for it Alex and we'll work out the details.

Thanks again

Gotta rummage through my open deck suitcase tomorrow, will PM you as soon as I find it.

Failing that, there is this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/brand-new-ZIPPO-Poker-gift-set-lighter-and-card-set-Bicycle-Rider-Back-luxury-/380598618997?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item589d720b75

Guy is in Germany and wants US$79 ono. Free Int shipping.

I remembered seeing this at BMPokerWorld once or twice, even ordered some for a friend.  Just checked now, though - seems Mike Ferrante got out of the Zippo business altogether.  It was a shame - he had some cool lighters.

I have a sealed zippo deck if you like. I live in UK. Can you provide you photos if you like. Drop me an email 12nur88@gmail.com

Thanks for helping out guys, Brown I'm gonna give Alex some time to dig his up since he got back to me 1st. Thanks for the link Ronyo, ya it's kind of crazy what these sets are going for now, I have 2 sealed gift sets w/Zippo, which is why I'm looking for a deck to crack open for scans on my site.

About 6 months ago you could get these New for $18.00 (Deck and Zip), Since they announced that they were discontinued the prices have been a bit steep, I guess timing is everything...glad to see that THAT doesn't change with Playing Cards, lol

Sparkz do you want the lighter itself, too?

[ronyo_faukx]

It's one of the problems I have with the way these sorts of markets work.

You feel either forced to spend much more earlier some you have many copies to work with, or take the risk of waiting, finding out they're OOP, then it's even more horrendously expensive to purchase more copies.

Really just looking for the deck, unless you want to get rid of them as a set...so it's up to you.

I just wish the combo was cheaper.

I might offer that German guy about $40 + shipping for the cards/lighter.

The lighter is actually pretty sweet, has great detail in the design, still one of my favorites. I think the price should be around $30, I sold one not too long ago ended up going for $40 on eBay. If I'm not mistaken this seller has been trying to sell that set for his current price for months with no luck...its a tad on the high side regardless if your a Zippo Collector or Card collecotr. If your really interested I would wait, they pop up on ebay for around $40 BIN or BIN / Offer...just need some patience

I used the Make An Offer selection. Offered $30 - rejected, $40 - rejected, and $45 - rejected.

So now I can't make any more offers as I've used up my 3 allotted attempts.

Cool. Ever bought from them?

I did a quick Google search, and it turned up a forum where a whole bunch of people reckoned it was a scam site: http://forum.grasscity.com/bongs-bubblers-water-pipes/1186777-anyone-ever-use-aaaglasspipescom.html

Here's another couple of websites that offer them relatively cheap:

There's a sweet workaround for that.  Get one of those "rechargeable" gift credit cards, that aren't actually attached to any bank account you possess, and use that to make the purchase.  If they "crack the code" for that card, who's identity are they stealing?  Visa's?  Just set up the card so the balance on it just barely covers the cost of the item you're ordering, and there's precious little left for them to steal, if it's a scam.

Damn. I never would have thought of that.

I suppose some can be scams, I just know that those are still out there at regular prices or just a little more. I come across some "Sought After" discontinued Zippo's in gas stations and small tobacco shops just because they aren't aware they've been discontinued or even that anyone would pay a bit of a premium for one. They just made there purchase and leave them in the display case.

Just like how I stumbled across Cincinnati-made Bicycle Rider Backs only about a week ago at a pharmacy in my old neighborhood.  They were just on the rack with all the other decks...  To people who aren't collectors, most collectibles, especially ephemera, are just things waiting to become junk.
