LOL Lou~We will be the most stylish corpses around! Hehehehe....
WWJD~I never bought any of these decks with the intention of selling them or making money, so was not even aware that some decks would go for such high prices while others would go for lower. Basically they are not just used as a divination tool, but a collector's item, like art, baseball cards, books, etc. The quality decks are full of gorgeous artwork, be it original, classical or bizarre, full of symbolism, and something many love to study. Some of us collect MU for the same reason. Different colours, unique items, various looks they create. Again, it really is art. If I deck that was popular or unique in any way goes out of print (OOP) the price sky rockets and continues to do so as each year passes. You never know what the market will be like, however. Right now with the economy and being in such a recession decks you could have once sold for 500 or even 1000 won't sell unless they are 300 or under. Many struggle to pull out 100.00 for a deck. So, I feel lucky I have made what I have so far, under these circumstances. I could wait a few years to see if things get better, but they may not, they could get worse or the forum, which has been changing for the worse lately, could go under and I would not have that venue to sell on. Thus, making the most of the time I have! The best way to describe it is that tarot decks have come a very long way in the past few decades and are considered little works of art, thus if a piece of "art" by artist, theme, publisher, etc. is desired, that person is willing to pay dearly for it!
