Where can I find duplicates?

While my preferred form of magic is the inspect-able or impromptu type, I still do some effects that require duplicates. For example, when I do a specific torn nd restored effect I believe most of you are familiar with, I need 2 dupes of the same card. However, for the last year, I have grown accustomed to primarily performing with Tally-Ho cards over the usual bikes. The effect I have talked about above does give you a full deck of dupes, but they are bikes. Is there anyplace where I could find a deck of duplicates for decks other than bikes?
Thx :D
 
Except that if I use a trick that needs 2 dupes, I'm gonna run out of 2 decks really quick? Would it be cost effective to buy 52 decks and have 52 dupe decks? Lol someone should sell that.

So you have 3 decks -- one you use to perform and get the dupes from the other 2 decks. You can do the effect 52 times.

Typically, stores don't sell one-way force decks other than Bicycle because there isn't the demand.
 
Save some money a buy a brick at Costco or some other large warehouse store. Decks here normally sell for around 5 dollars a pack but I can buy a brick for around 14$ and get 9.

DominusDolorum That is probably the best option, but where on earth are you finding $14 bricks with 9 decks? The cheapest I've seen is $35 for 12.
Thx
