Unusual Cards

They are unusual and very cool, but there is no price list available, and if you try to access order placement, it takes you directly into PayPal - seems a little non-kosher to me....

The cards themselves are awesome. It took me a few minutes to realize that they weren't merely reproductions of actual cards. Very strange.

I know where my Christmas cards are coming from this year.
Excellent find, sciurus!

Dear wooly mammoth festooned with garland, pulling a Christmas sleigh, you will be mine. Oh yes, you will be mine!

by any chance, does anyone here have the link to some artsy-weird valentine's cards that were a bit popular earlier this year?

the only one i remember was a brown card, with 2 robot figures i think. one of the robots said something along the lines of "you make me retarded"

WaterSprite: They're using a PayPal shopping cart which is actually hosted by PayPal. Once the stuff is in your cart it will show the price. Not what many would consider a good design choice, but not necessarily treyfe.

Thanks jlkr. You're right about the bad design choice, but it would still be a nice gesture to put up a price list....

Whoever built their Paypal cart doesn't know what the hell they're doing.

I think the cards are $3.50 each.

Nice link! Thanks!

that's awesome.

the way a link should be.

I don't think you can order the cards any more; clicking the 'Add to Cart' button takes you to Paypal's login screen, the e-mail link has a blank mailto: target, and the printable order form goes to a 404.

A simple "Sorry, we're not taking order right now" would have sufficed.
