Two of them starting at $7 and $10. I already caved in and got one from a seller in Germany (which hasn't arrived yet), otherwise I'd be bidding.

Bet they won't stay at $7 and $10, though. I recently caved in and bought a copy, too . . . for quite a bit more than $10. It's fabulous, but I haven't yet decided if it's really worth what I paid for it. From what I've observed, they've typically been going for $80 and up on eBay lately.

I don't have the Hermetic deck. It had been on my wish-list for a while and when I heard it was out-of-print I finally decided that I wanted to buy the Hermetic deck that had been sitting on the store shelves for months, only to find that it was gone. Even at retail price, I had a tough time deciding that I wanted it. But now I want it, for the sake of principle, having seen it pass through my hands. However, I do question whether it's worth the going rate. The going rate will undoubtedly never go down, unless the deck is re-released.
Its virtue is that its minor arcana follow Golden Dawn specifications set out in their manuscript, Book T. If one doesn't have the Golden Dawn books, one can get Book T off the net. The GD deck by Wang and the GD by the Ciceros follow Book T, as does the new "Classical Golden Dawn Tarot" deck:

I was very lucky to get this in a straight trade here. It's a fascinating deck. I haven't done very much with it, but this together with my trusty ReVISIONed deck have certainly changed my thinking on b&w decks. I used to think I'd be lost without colour, but these two pack so much more in.
