The most I have paid for a tarot deck was just a few moments ago when I purchased the Starchild Tarot Traditional size edition. I just LOVE the art, its so beautiful and dreamy! It of course isn't a matter of need, but WANT! I have wanted the 2nd edition for some time now but it was sold out, so when I just by chance stopped by their website and saw they have the traditional version on sale, I figured I may as well go for it. I like that it's boarderless. It really makes the art look even more stunning! Yikes its expensive, I normally just get the standard mass-produced decks that are a fraction of the price. I normally wouldn't spend so much, but since I have been waiting for a while I just went for it. I actually also just pre-ordered the sacred creators oracle too, which is also expensive for my usual price range, but since I have been stalking that one for some time as well I figured I may as well go for it. I think the scarcity bias definitely comes into play with my purchases. Just the fact that the Starchild Tarot hasn't been available for a while creates a sense of scarcity, so when it appears the customer just eats it up. Same with the Sacred Creators Oracle, the fact that it sold out and was unavailable makes it all the more appealing to get it when it appears for pre-order. Then also the indication of the Sacred Creators Oracle being a "limited print run" gives me the sense that I may not get a chance to get it in the future if I don't act now, NOW, NOW! But well, I am in the mood for pretty things.
