 Damn $$5.30 US? That is quite expensive. Here in Canada i get em in packs of two for $6.63 canadian. Otherwise they're like 4 bucks Can. each. Are they the regular blue and red ones?

if the ones you currently have are satisfying your needs stick with em
bikes are very nice but here in the us can be sold for as low as 2 dollars in some stores
so pretty much your getting ripped off
if you have the money to buy, i suggest you get it otherwise you'll be ok with your current ones
what do you need em for XCM or magic?? mayb that could help you decide

If you live in Singapore, then don't you use Aladdins? Those are better than Bicycles in my opinion.

Actually, you can get them at Wal Mart for 2 for $3....$1.50 a pack
or at Sam's Club...owned by Wal Mart for 12 for $12....$1.00 a pack
So compared for what you can get them here you are getting assfucked.

If your doing magic then you don't 'need' Bicycles. They are popular because is the US and Europe they're cheap and of good quality. They're also used because people recognise the brand and don't get suspicious.
If you really want then it will work out much cheaper to buy a brick (12) and pay the postage once rather than $5-$6 per pack.
If I were you id find some good quality paper cards nearby while you're practicing.
Or speak to larrylum he seems to know where to get cheap bikes.

Just watch out for shipping.
Ebay is cool for UK and US but people will take the michael on international shipping. Which is what Freeko was asking about

I usually get Bicycles for about 3$ - 4$ (shipping is included in this prize), but these cards are really worth of it.

I don't know what B&M is. Sam's Club is a Wal Mart owned store where you can sometimes get stuff very cheap. You have to pay an annual memebership fee to shop there though....$20 or something like that.
Here is a link to a 6pack for $8.22 {edited by Eric 5-Oct-2005, link no longer works}
Maybe they don't have them anymore but I have purchased 12 packs there for $12 in the past.
I did'nt see anything on WalMarts website but I just buy them from the store...they always have 2packs for $3 ....sometimes this will also include a set of 5 casino dice.
What freeko needs is someone to buy them in the US and ship them to him.

I just saw the 2/3.00 pack at Wal-Mart two days ago. They were at the check out line. They also sell them in single packs. If your WalMart does not carry them then you should speak to the manager. I am sure they would be willing to bring in a few for a valued customer (smile). Bicycles are very nice, but I have to agree that at 4 dollars someone is taking you for a ride (some where in the chain someone is making a huge profit at your expense).
Like everyone else is saying, buy them in bulk to save on the shipping/handling charges.
