@Ameisenheld7 жыл бұрын
In the video you can see around 100 cases. With 25k thats 62.5$ per booster box. PS: For 72 cases that would be 87$ a box... not where you want to be
@henrygomez71427 жыл бұрын
I counted about 135 cases, but since the pallet has 72 per pallet I'm guessing he got 2 full pallets for a total of 144 cases. If the ballpark price rudy paid is 25000, then he paid about 43 dollars per 36 pack lot. He is selling the 36 pack lots at 75 dollars with free shipping and sealed cases at 280 free shipping. At the time of this comment he is selling both lots at an equal rates based on the number from the listing. Assuming he sells an equal amount of both listings that will bring the average per 36 packs will be 72.50. Ebay fees plus paypal fees will be about 10%. At a guestimate of about 5 shipping per sale we are looking at about 12.50 lost to shipping and fees per sale which will bring the net revenue to be about 60 per 36 packs. That is 17 dollars profit per 36packs. 9750 dollars profit on the whole lot for a net profit of 40%. Not bad if his estimate of one month to sell out proves to be accurate.

These are one of those times in pokemon tcg's economic history where code cards on these were at a premium for the ptcgo economy (it was the base currency at the time, they choose an item and based their value on it), so the packs jumped in value due too the code, some singles were up their but yeah, be careful on the pokemon's and research this more thoughly, especially on cost.
