INTRO - TRADEHOME

In this section I offer decks, single cards and jokers to trade or buy.  On our quest for playing cards for our own collection, we encounter other decks too. Sometimes they come in a package deal with a deck that we want for our collection, sometimes they are single decks that we just can't resist taking along.
I have indicated a trading value in Euro. If you see any decks of your interest and have one or more decks yourself to trade (or swap), please contact me. If we don't have the deck and it is interesting for our collection, I'll be happy to trade or swap.
If you don't have trading material, you can buy the decks at the given value in Euro. Payment in other currencies -USD, GBP, Australian and Canadian dollars- is possible, but the price will be based on the value in Euro and the exchange rate of that moment.
If you only want to sell decks (or a collection of playing cards) yourself, feel free to contact me too. 

Our cards have been divided into 5 categories: the buttons on the left will take you there. The "Bargains" button gives access to all kinds of semi- standard and non-standard decks, but they have one thing in common: they are cheap!

BUT first................please read the sales conditions + postage and payment paragraphs here below.

Any questions? Don't hesitate to contact me.

SALES - TRADEHOME

There's no shopping cart, so if you see something of your interest contact sales@dxpo-playingcards.com asap.
Our principal rule is: "first email received = first option to trade or buy"

After an item has been chosen for a trade, it will be marked in the listings with  "TRADE". As soon as a trade has been completed, the item will be taken from the lists.
When an item is sold, it will be taken from the lists too. A sale is considered completed, when payment has been received. Pending completion the item will be marked with "SOLD".

The buyer will receive an invoice within 2 days after the initial email contact. The invoice will contain a total in euro, specified by deck(s) and postage. When payment will be made in a different currency, the exchange rate of the invoice date will be used.

The buyer will have to respond to the invoice within 2 days after it was send. Within that period, it is still possible for the buyer to cancel the transaction.
Payment will have to be received within 2 weeks after the invoice has been send.
Failure to comply with any of these two conditions will result in a cancellation of the transaction.

I try to describe our decks and their condition as accurate as possible. Should you find a discrepancy between the description and the item you've received, please contact me within 5 days after reception and a full refund is possible.

I trade or sell our decks as an individual collector or private person, so there are no guarantees applicable as mentioned in the new EEC regulations, e.g. that there's a 6 month period in which items can be returned against a full refund.

Two other  methods are accepted, but will cost extra for the buyer:
1)   Western Union Money Transfer in euro (ask costs at W.U. office).
2)   American Express money orders in USD will have an extra charge of the equivalent of € 11.00 in USD.

POSTAGE - TRADEHOME

A few useful hints before you look at the postage table:
A single regular deck of 52+j (incl. packaging) usually weighs just over 100 grams. Any deck containing less cards (32, 36, 40) will weigh less than 100 grams.
In 2011 this leads to the fact that 2 regular decks can be send for the same postage as one and 4 for the same postage as 3. This applies for shipments to any place in the world. So buying a (few) deck(s) more and combining shipping could be worth considering.

There are two basic ways of shipping: as a letter or as a package. Shipment as letter requires that the package isn't thicker than 32 mm. That is applicable to most regular decks. Any thicker decks, Tarot or regular ones, will have to be send as package. When an order is received we will tell you how the deck(s) can be send and how much postage will be, but here below you find the official rates.

For LETTERS rates per 1/1/2012 in euro:

We don't charge a handling fee. You only pay for the postage. Costs for packaging etc. are at our expense.

For PACKAGES rates per 1/1/2012 in euro:

As you can see, the Dutch mail carrier has split Europe up into 3 zones:
