Hi,

I am not sure if this is the right place to post this.
I was wondering if you guys have any ideas how much a Black Ghost deck is worth?
I got one with my package from Ellusionist.
It seem very hard to get and is not for sale.
I am a card collector myself. Just wondering how much it's worth in the market.
Any input would be appreciated Smile

It's worth quite a lot, and nothing at the same time. Some people would pay up to $100 for one, others would only pay $10. It's is worth as much as it is to you at this point. Just check on online auction sights such as *bay.

If there are any pix, you'll find them on the E website.

These cards are promo items, not for sale, and usually only sent out if you buy more than $300.00 or so worth of stuff from Elusionist.

Folks want them because folks can't have them.....as always.

Hi,

I haven't seen any pics or videos with this deck on Ellusionist or the Internet.
It is similar to the White Ghost Deck, but it's black.
I just checked eBay and it seems that people are paying $150 for the deck.
I haven't opened it too.
I'm still afraid to open it Smile

If you go on their product page for the Ghost Gaff Deck, and download the preview with Brad, he goes through all of the cards in the Ghost Gaff Deck, and then for the last couple minutes shows the Black Ghosts.

There is a second video which is quite large in comaprison to the normal clips, and there he goes through the deck!

I would sell the deck if I were you.
If you ask for worth: in general it should be worth exactly $6.99 since it is a normal black deck with other images and that's all. But some people pay $100 and more for that. I bet E is dropping them in near future. But I am afraid they want to have $10, or something like that for the deck even it is a normal black deck. I personally love the black ghost. Verrrry beautiful deck. But since some folks see this deck as a holy grail and pay ridiculous prices I bet E is putting them out for a higher price than $6.99 which would be a pity. But people still are going to buy them anyhow, and that is why I would put them out for a higher price too if I were Brad.

Oh thanks, I saw the second preview.
True, I think the price might drop in the future too.
You'r right,I guess it's a good move to sell it as soon as possible.
I think I'll just put it on eBay or something.
Thank you for your suggestion guys Smile

I found a couple of shots of them (still in the box, of course) on ebay. They are a truly beatiful thing! If I had a deck, I would not sell them, but that is mostly due to me being a greedy little card collector.

I'm a card collector too.
But I'm really short of cash, so I guess I'll sell.
Seems like they go over $100 Smile
Hopefully they're have these for sale later at a lower price.

don't worry. I bet you will get your black ghost someday through e when they decide to drop them out.

You're probably right. If they do eventually release these to the mass market, it will kill the overpricing on the collector's market. It's like those Bicycle "Elephant" decks that people were shelling out tons of cash for on ebay, only to find them at places like the Gambler's General Store for $1.99 per deck.

Hi,

Really? I didn't know those "Elephant" decks were high in demand for a while.
