The starting bid is only $0.99...solid advice from Don, thanks brother.

No sweat, bro. Seems to be working - they're already bid up to $51.

Indeed. It is a decent start. I could not figure out how to make it show that I ship worldwide. But a couple side-notes here. I do ship worldwide and I also have more than 1 of this package.

By seeing ending bids in ebay.
The red artifice is around 45$
Gold Arcane 65-75$
LTD around 55$

But you won't find these price if you don't bid.
So I think it's worth 150$

To be honest,i wouldnt pay more then 30usd for a red artifice deck.
150USD are fair for this 3 deck combo

xZEROx · « **Reply #7 on:** March 08, 2012, 07:08:28 AM »

$30 for RA? Find me one and I'll jump on it right now. >.<

sinsandman · « **Reply #8 on:** March 08, 2012, 08:42:53 AM »

I've never seen a RA for $30...I would snatch them up if you see them. I honestly think that this bundle is worth more than $175. I am already throwing in a fourth deck, but I have goals set that would warrant additional decks. So we will see how this plays out.

I also wanted to thank you guys for the love.

It wouldn't surprise me if bidding fever takes hold and they start bidding the decks above the after-market value. Starting an auction low can be like waving candy in front of a bunch of hyperactive eight-year-olds...

I recently sold RA for 40$ and I think that's cheap already.

cosmicsecret · « **Reply #11 on:** March 08, 2012, 12:36:41 PM »

If you think about it for a moment.Ellusionist sold them regular at a limit of one brick per person.
3000 went up for sale.
They are not that rare!
Just the dealers who keep raising the prices creating this fake rare status. ;-)

Wish you all the best with your auction!!!

sinsandman · « **Reply #12 on:** March 08, 2012, 12:48:31 PM »

3000 isn't rare? Hmmm. I only have a couple, how many do you have?

phantom1412 · « **Reply #13 on:** March 08, 2012, 11:05:07 PM »

I think it's rare.
But still on sale these days.
If you wait for next year or so, this will be lot more expensive.

I think it was Marcus that commented that their massive sales/giveaways over the holidays left them with a much-diminished amount of ALL of their rare decks, including the LTD. Based on what he said, I doubt they'll be any remaining as premiums by the end of the 2012 holiday season. What few they will hold, like they're ALREADY doing with the LTD. deck, will be up as prizes for contests, not as shopping premiums.

The prior auction ended at $182.50 - was the sale completed and these are different decks or did something go wrong and you've relisted the same three?

Why did you create a reserve this time?

xZEROx · « **Reply #17 on:** March 14, 2012, 01:49:47 AM »

I had the same question as Don. Why create a reserve? I think $180 is a very good price. Why put a reserve and intimidate some potential buyers?

He said earlier that he had more than one of this package, so it would be fair to say this is another batch.

As for the reserve, I think it's important that you have control over your own auction. A reserved auction will attract people who know what price they want to pay for your item rather than people looking for a sweet deal. And if anyone is really concerned, a quick message to you asking 'what is the reserve?' should tell them all the information they need to know about whether to bid or not, permitting you answer!

If your freebie deck is different this time, could you divulge what deck you threw into the last auction as a prize?

sinsandman · « **Reply #19 on:** March 14, 2012, 02:38:19 PM »

Hey there guys,
The last auction went through smoothly. This auction is the same package but different decks. As of right now the reserve has been met, it was in place as a safeguard and I had never done a reserve auction so I wanted to give it a try. The bonus decks vary, the last winner chose a Brimstone...if the auction hits the $200 mark I will be throwing in another deck for a total of 2 bonus decks. Hope everyone is well. This will more than likely not be the last auction I hold...so after this one is done watch for another. Thank you all for the support, this community is full of good people.

I get all that, but isn't it simpler to just make the minimum opening bid high enough to meet whatever reserve you would have wanted? The reserve method to me seems like a waste of time, especially if no one meets the reserve. Declaring the higher minimum lets people know you're looking for serious bidders, not people who think they'll get a lot of rare stuff for a dinky bid of $0.99 or similar.
