Damn that sounds good. I wouldn't mind having one signed by the whole team of 12 there :D

given how overpriced everything from E has been lately, I'm most likely going to pass

Benefits of membership...  I'll probably get a crack at these the day before they're released.  They did the same for me when the LTD uncut became available.

Since it's pretty limited to start with, I'd say probably.

Don, what do you think the price for these would be?
Title: Re: Red Artifice Uncuts
Post by: yukito on January 13, 2013, 02:26:17 AM
I also think they should number it, because they did it for the LTD uncut also. >:(

Sorry, bro - I think I left my crystal ball in my other pair of pants back home...  :))

Look at what other rare E uncuts went for and that will give you a ballpark figure.

This might help:

In the Black Club:
Gold Arcane: $100 (sold out)
Black Ghost 1st Ed.: $175
Artifice Black Club: $175
Artifice Black Club Tucks: $200

...and I seem to recall the LTDs went for a little over a $100.

non-benefits of membership: still will cost you an arm and possibly a leg to get one

But I still get it for less than the general public...

I'd rather pay a higher price.It deters the scenario where all 200 or so sheets sell out in 1 hour due to a $30 price, leaving lots of people crying and whining about site crashes and whatnot; where the only way after that of obtaining one is via buying with a 500% mark-up from resellers. The higher selling point provokes the more serious collectors into purchasing and leaves the people with the intent of pure reselling at a crossroads.

I think the price will be $125 (same as LTD uncut) because there's one guy selling the RA uncut for $150 now

Ya , I will grab a sheet , it will look nice in the Den,  But still waiting for the red ARCANE!!!!!

Sadly, I won't be able to get the uncut. However, with that being said, I'd like to wish everyone good luck who is trying to get this sheet. I have a feeling this one may go fast. In my mind, I can see it being displayed beautifully.

They are going to be $90

very nice design. i will buy 1 to put at my wall :)
Title: Re: Red Artifice Uncuts
Post by: Don Boyer on January 16, 2013, 08:49:07 AM
They're on sale now for Black Club members for $85.50 ($90 plus a 5% member discount), just as Evan stated.  That means tomorrow they'll be up for grabs with the general public, assuming there's any left.  I'm tempted to buy and resell, but I'd rather just let someone get it at something approaching a decent price.

They're supposedly "found in the warehouse" - you know the old fable.  They claim that they needed to make room for all the upcoming decks they're offering.  No mention of magic, just decks.  Makes a guy wonder...

Found in the warehouse. LOL. That sure is getting tiresome because its so darn silly. Look guys, it's not like the deck was printed 80 years ago by your grandpa. You made all that a couple years ago and know exactly how many you have, and where they are. Sure would be nice if we could just have straight talk, and plain numbers, once in a while. Marketing is great but not when everything is dramaticized to the "dumbth" degree.

To be fair, though, it's not impossible that some inventory got overlooked.  I mean, do these guys even take inventory in the first place?  But seriously, haven't you ever shoved something in the back of a closet or under the bed and just plain forgot it was there or that it even still existed?  :))

If you remembered how Black Club works, it would be much less surprising.  Members get a 24-hour advance sale opportunity on any new merchandise, including this uncut and the one for the LTD deck.  Granted, there will be occasional merchandise just for Black Club members, but that will be just a small portion of the overall stock.  And we get a built-in discount on everything we buy.

Did you read the page where E is selling it?

They imply that the quantity is small, possibly as little as twenty-five, without actually giving an exact number.  For all I know, it could be twenty-five hundred, or twenty-five thousand.

does that discount stack with other coupon codes?

I'd like to say yes, but I've already used all the one-time discounts so I couldn't say for sure.

Magic10 works more than once. I've used that code multiple times for 10% discounts on orders, and I just checked and it was good for 10% off on the Red Artifice Uncut Sheets. If that stacks with the 5% discount then that would be nice. Otherwise the 5% discount seems kind of useless.

Any discount isn't useless!  Are you logging in as a guest or with your own account?  I've heard of people being able to use a discount over and over by logging in as guests.  To use the Black Club discount, you have to be logged in.

I don't have an ellusionist account, so I've been using it as a guest. Technically the discount isn't useless, but if your choice is between a 5% discount and a 10% discount, there's no rational reason to ever use the 5% discount.
Title: Re: Red Artifice Uncuts
Post by: Mrmagic on January 18, 2013, 08:13:21 PM
well as a guest you dont get those points that you can use on future purchases. so I might use the 5% and those instead of the 10%

that is a good point. The last time I bought from E was before they started using the point system.

Points can be used for discounts or for getting rare items (which they have yet to post).
