How long are these expected to last if taken good care of?

Just as long as any other deck of cards. They look and feel the same as a standard deck. I haven't used them much yet, but no fingerprints on the black finish if that's what you're worried about. Hope this helps.

A while. Mine were stolen, but I bought another set by Ellusionist and they're working great. The cards are a little slick at first, but with constant use they still held up. I had no problem using them every single day for a month. The black will start to rub off a bit on the very edge, but it doesn't affect the front or back face and it's hardly noticeable.

If you've used a standard deck of Bicycle cards, they should last just as long. I shuffled a deck these exact ones something like 2,000 times and all that really happened was the edges started to become white. The cards remain of a satisfying stiffness. The center of the cards are still pretty much perfect. If you like use the deck idk once a week and shuffle them say 50 times a week, you could keep them for a really really long time. Bicycle cards do tend to last as long as you dont crease them or rip them. Like I said, the worst that could happen is that the edges begin to whiten, but that will happen because the cards have black edges.

Depends if you purchased New or Old or Refurbished or so. They do last 3-5 years depending on how well they are looked after.

I am ignoring the "Best by" date on mine. They are really well dehydrated, so as long as they don't get damp they should last indefinitely. Good for "preppers", I would think.

Don't know, I haven't had to replace them. But it's my understanding they last or thousands of hours.

I suppose It depends on the amount of usage. But I have had mine since November 13. Used moderately but not heavily. A couple times a week for 30 min to 1 hour each time. I like them. If I could afford the $40 a piece ones I would get those over these any day. But for the money they do what I need them to so and so far no sign of wear.

I would say they would last at least 6 months to a year if not longer. It would depend on how you care for them. I wash them in a zippered laundry bag in the machine but I do not put in the dryer, that would shorten the life of them.

If they are left to sit in place indefinitely outdoors, filled with sand, then I would expect them to eventually rot on the bottom. If turned upside down every so often to dry out, then they should last many years.

If kept in a cool, humid free area they can last for years. If I remember correctly I'm thinking 10 years +/- a year or two.

They'll get a bit beaten up, but yes. Mine are over two years old and just scratched. If you want to keep them pristine, no.

They last as long as you take care of them- I clean them out with 2 qtips and water to make sure all gel is gone and rinse and store in case.

Hard to say how long they will last as that depends on the surface of the floor (the smoother the longer they will last, the rougher, the quicker they will wear, think of sand paper wearing them down). Ours are 6 months old on stools used at a kitchen island on a new smooth hardwood floor, so slid multiple times per day and so far they look almost as good as new, with slight crushing, but that would be expected with felt from day one when it gets compressed the first time. For the price, and how they are holding up so far I would recommend them. Take it for what it is worth, but I am an electrical engineer who works with electrical and non-electrical consumer products.

I use one about every 2 weeks. If you keep them clean they last a long time

I believe they will last a very long time. They are dried, so there is no issue there, and I have some that are coming up on a year.

I have yet to replace mine. As long as you wash, dry & power them they should last quite a while.

Hard to say, depends on when you buy them. I'd ask the company how long they keep for, but I don't think you'll have a problem with them sitting around going bad. They're too addictive.

Keep them in the case whenever youre not using them and youll be fine.The earpads may get discoloured over time but if you do take good care of them, they will last.

The item is well made so they should last if it is well taken care of. Should be able to last for more than 3 years.
