Default Were to buy your cards?

Alright I already wrote a guide to cards, and everyone needs to buy the cards so now I?m going to make a guide on good sites/stores to buy cards. I?ve bought plenty of cards from many places so I think I know enough about where to buy them.

The prices can greatly vary from place to place and depending on the deck so I?m going to try and get you a good deal.

1. ebay.com.
Probably the best place to buy cards, you can buy pretty much buy any deck for a decent deal, you might not always find a great deal but overall ebay is the best place.

Most people know how ebay works all you need is a paypal account and your good. You will normally be bidding on decks but you can always buy them from a buy now dealer were u pay a set price. Ebay is perfectly safe as long as you buy from an ebayer with a good rep 95% and better. If you are buying in bulk contact the seller and you will most likely get a bit better of a deal.

I?ll post some names of good sellers I just can?t remember them of the top of my head.

2.Penguinmagic.com and mjmmagic.com

Both companies offer a return costumer discount (if you buy a lot of cards from them you will get a discount). At penguin add ?penguinwelcome? in the comments and they should take 10% of your purchase, and MJM gives you a number which then gives you a discount if you come back and buy some more.

Both companies offer free shipping to people in the States.

If you do find the cards you want on the sites you are getting a pretty good deal.

3.***********.com

Everyone has heard of them, they sell costume decks and some normal ones. These cards are more popular to the beginner but they are good quality. The only thing I don?t like about them is the price, it?s about 4$ for shipping a deck and the decks are quite expensive them selves. Before buying from *********** I would suggest going and checking out ebay first you can find good deals on e cards.


4. MagicBox.uk.com and cards4magic.com
These site are good for people in the UK, they offer a wide selection at a fairly good deal, I haven?t used them but I?ve heard a lot of good things about them.

5. Spinettis.com
This site is good they sell a lot of cancelled casino cards, so if you like cancelled cards this site is for you they also have good deals on brand new casino cards.
If you mention ?21ace? you get a 10% discount.

6.gamblersgeneralstore.com

This site is the biggest and best gambling store in the world, the sell a lot of cards. They sell a lot of costume decks ( Pepsi, playboy, coca-cola etc?) they also sell bordered Bee cards one of my favourites.

Here are some other sites that are worth mentioning.

Kardwell.com
Good selection great for buying in bulk, and you can get costume made gamco cards.

Filmart.com
Great deals on tally-hos just type in tall-ho if you buy in bulk you might get a discount.

Batteriesandbutter.com
Good deals on tallys, bikes, aviators etc, just type in playing cards.

808cards.com
Never used them, claim to have the lowest price on bikes anywhere.

Outside the net.

Wal-Mart
Sell all the typical cards not to expensive and no shipping cost try them out.

Cosco
Sell bricks of 9 in bikes and aviators very good deals.

Drug stores
Most drug stores sell decent cards bikes/Bee?s etc so if u need a quick deck just go to your local drug store.

Shipping can vary depending on were you buy your cards, and how many you buy. So if you buying on the net look around for shipping costs.

So that?s all I got to say if you know any other sites please add in the comments and remember ebay is your best bet.

Thanks for a good write up.
In the UK I can recommend the service from Magic Box and cards4magic. Cards4magic have some very interesting varieties of cards. I have found Costco the cheapest - they sell bricks of Bikes (I have not seen any other types though).
