I realize that this is a good price for Korea....but 5 bucks a pack? The last time I was home I bought a few packs at Wal-mart and they were 99 cents each....are you trying to off-load some stuff before you head back home or hoping to make a profit?

Last year when I needed cards, I would have been happy to pay 5000 a pack because I have only seen them in Korea for much more.

If you are truly interested in the cards and not just trolling you can 1) make me a counter offer 2) pay more for them from a Korean shop 3) go to Walmart in the USA and pay 99 cents a pack.

The only cards I have seen for that cheap are korean or chinese cards which suck for poker because they get dinged up very quickly. Your corner mart must be special.

They are the Bicycle brand. Actually, I was somewhat surprised to see them this cheap.

You can find Bicycle cards for about 2,000 won a pack online. I have bought tons of them in Korea since I perform close-up magic shows.

I bought a pack (Bicycle/Made in USA) in either Family Mart or Mini Stop (they have them in both) for around 5 or 6,000 won....roughly the same as the OP`s price when you factor in the delivery charge/subway ride to pick them up.

the above post on gmarket includes 2,500 won postage so 5,000 won overall ish.

Yeah but you can get a dozen for the same shipping price.
