i am looking for a brick of bikes, that are very cheap, here in Australia it costs $10 for one deck!!! so i was wondering if someone could buy me a brick and send it to me? i will pay for postage, and cards, but if you want to be really generous, you can pay for postage and ill pay you for the cards!! if anyone can help, please reply!!!

I can get a brick for you - but I can't afford to pay your postage.

Shipping would be $15, and I'll get back to you with the price per deck once I scout out local stores to find the cheapest price. I'll sell to you purely to break even on everything.

I have almost half a brick you can use, you wouldn't need that many cards anyway. All you really need to make the gimmick is two cards, and you just can use the spectators' card to tear and restore. For practicing purposes, one deck should be good enough, but overall, I can understand your dilemma.

Well international postage is killer - why pay for it over and over again when you can just stack up on cheap cards you know you'll use?

He said a Standard Bike is $10 where he lives. 10x6 = $60. Let's say one of us buys him 12 decks at $3 each, that's $39 + $15 for postage. For $54 he gets twice as much.

Alex, if you have a Sam's Club around you or a Costco you can get 12 standards for $15.

gee alex, you so damn smart!! i wouldnt of worked that out, because i really dont know the prices of things, and i really wish i lived in america so i can get cheap cards, but costco has moved to australia as well, and i still havent checked there yet, would it still be the same price as over there?

Last time I bought playing cards here in Australia I got them shipped through amazon for $25 for a half brick which was pretty good I thought (Seeing as I cant even buy three standards for that much here)

Weird thing is you can get specialty decks like Dragon backs for like $2 cheaper then standards where I live in Australia

I'm not 100% sure on what "dbs" are, what does that stand for I probably do know

Ahh now I see

I'll have a look and see if there is any in stock next time I'm there (I bought the last two red backs

), its a games shop that has a small cards section they only seem to have like 5 standards and a selection of 5 or so different specialty decks at a time, The best I found there was Theory11 Guardians for $6
