I’m going to sound like a woman obsessed, but I need to vent.
When my business first went online, one of the first tarot decks we carried was the Tarot Erotica by Lori Walls. To this day it is one of my favorite decks, if for no other reason, it’s exquisite artwork. It even inspired a project I’m working on. It was also our most popular deck. I could put a dozen of them up for sale on eBay and they’d be gone in less than a week, whereas it took at least a month to sell just one deck of the others. It could’ve been because I was the sole provider of the deck, or at least I was. But even when some skank stole my pictures to sell her own decks, I held my own.
Anyhow, about two years or so ago, QED Games, the deck’s distributor, disappeared without a peep. Not even a “Sorry, we’re going out of business, would you like to buy our remaining stock?” Last I heard Lori Walls was searching for another company to make the deck. Currently, none of the companies I deal with have it, but it’s either available again, or someone has a huge stockpile because a number of larger online shops, including one that opened recently offer the Tarot Erotica for sale. I even came across a review of the deck dated this year. Alas, no one wants to give me the time of day regarding sources. I can understand if it were their entire catalog, but it’s one fricken deck!
*sigh*
This is one of those times where I’m not so proud to own a small family/muse-run business.
