A Trip To Wal-Mart

Sam Hindrichs · 02-26-2010, 01:35 PM

As I walked through my local Wal-Mart today I walked down the playing card aisle, as I always do, and I noticed something. On the rack holding the last three decks of Bicycle Eco Edition Playing Cards was a price tag. I know what you are thinking, there is always a price tag on there Sam. This price tag was special though. On the tag it said "Bicycle 125 ED".

So I grabbed the three decks of Eco's and looked them over for any imperfections the first deck was opened already and the other two decks were perfect. Needless to say, I bought the two perfect decks and hid the other deck in another place in the store in hopes they will put the 125's out for me to buy.

HAHAHAHA!

Love it!
I too see the price tags for them...but no cards.
You could always ask to see if there are any in the back. But they probably won't really look.

They usually set stuff up for products before they have it so they are ready. Kind makes you a bit anxious...right?

I picked up 4 decks of the 125's at our local Wal Mart.
I cannot tell you how excited I was when I first saw those shiny metallic foil 125 decks on display in the Wal Mart toy department of all places!

Those are some pretty looking cards. I will have to find a reason to go to Wal-Mart Tomorrow... I was surprised to find Guardians there though.

No worries, if you fear Wal-Mart you can always travel to our local Magic Shop. We carry over 60 different types of playing cards.

Did I mention we price match?

I live in the Uk so no wal-mart for me

But, a wal-mart like store is opening near me so hopefully, it will have Bikes.

Hexcruncher,

Don't feel bad, I don't have a Wal-Mart close by either.

Brandon Pomeroy · 03-02-2010, 12:48 AM

Costco's where it's at. 12 packs of bikes for 13 bucks, including tax? Yes please!

melvin · 03-02-2010, 01:51 AM

no wal-mart here... no magic store..

even though there are shops...
they sell things way more expensive...

can get stuff online...
but i just can't get it cheap... $:\$

trackme, try what I did, look for a working magician who also likes selling stuff then he will sell decks cheaper than shops, maybe still more expensive than the original price but cheaper than the magic shops. But make sure that what he's selling are not counterfeits.

.

and in asia, always try bargaining with shop owners.

and buy in bulk they'll give you big discounts.

For ''regular'' Bikes, yes I agree.
But Costco does not carry the 125's unfortunately. $:\$

i get mine from online shop... but yet nearly expensive about 2x the original price for a normal deck of tally ho...
