Jema! Laughing out loud!!

And then you click buy now - and.... a page with a pic of the deck and no way to continue.
I need to email her anyway as I am out of country - so I can get around it that way...

Hey, Gregory. I just went to the site and was able to order. I'm going to tell you the steps I took to see if they work for you, okay?
Go to homepage: http://theportlandtarot.com/
Hover over "The Cards"
Pick/click last item: "Buy the Major Arcana Deck"
Find BIG blue bar on left side of page that says: "Buy the Major Arcana Deck Now!"
Click BIG blue bar (LOL!)
Takes you to a page with and "Add to Cart" bar
Click "Add to Cart"
Then "Go to Cart"
Then "Check Out"
Choose "Check Out as Guest" (unless you have a Square Account)
Let me know if this helps, okay?

I did all that up to Buy the Major Arcana deck. Then I just get a page with a pic of the deck, that says it costs $20, with no bars even of any kind.

No big blue bar, no add to basket, no checkout as guest, no nuttin.
(Trust me, I am good at buying online
)But it doesn't matter - as I have to email her anyway, being outside the US, and I have done.
ETA we have established that it does it on purpose as only US residents can buy directly without emailing, since overseas postage is extra. Theresa is delighted

The Portland Tarot is heading to 2nd Edition!
After a wonderfully successful sell-out of The Portland Tarot's 1st edition--Majors only--PT creator Theresa Pridemore is preparing to print a 2nd edition. She's going tweak (Read: "make even more amazing"!) all the cards and completely reimagine the 23rd card, "The Weird."
This is such a fresh, colorful, wonderfully reimagined deck. Extremely readable, even with just the Majors. And there are some really nice spreads in the LWB.
For the new edition, there will be a much-expanded LWB that will include the super-interesting stories about the making of each card--including the reasons certain people were included as the cards' subjects.
There's a lot of interesting information--AND excellent full-size images of the 1st edition of every card--here at The Portland Tarot's indiegogo page: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-portland-tarot-major-arcana-deck/x/4725167

I was a backer of the 78 card one, and so was offered the chance to buy the majors only + 1 version. I do like it - and the cards are - BIG !

Now in her case I am sure it will be fine - as with Kickstarter she did produce decks for those who had backed her and sold them to us individually, I don't need to back this one, as I have the deck - but I wish she'd done that.

bit. I have actually watched it happen that something didn't make its goal - and nothing ever happened, and investors simply lost out. Which leaves them unwilling to invest in another. I MUCH prefer the kickstarter way - when you get the money when the goal is reached - then you have the funds to complete the project, rather than leaving it half cocked - unable to be completed and no good to you or them. It's not a mater of trust as such - but OK - you get half your money, you have a project half done - and you have no more cash. What do you do ?

That's interesting, Gregory. Thanks for the thoughts on indiegogo. I don't know much about either of these strategies, but find the process fascinating!
