I think in the later years.....1980's.....the vending cases were bought by the larger dealers like Renata Galasso and others as they were great for making hand-collated sets as well. I bought a vending case of 1987 topps and made sets out of it to sell at shows and the break was really pretty good overall. There were 24 vending boxes of 500 cards in there, 12000 cards for the case and it made about 13-14 sets. Overall, they would usually net me 25-40% profit over and above the cost of the vending case. Was my time sorting and building sets worth that 25-40% profit? I'm not gonna go back and do a cost/benefit analysis on it but that was at about 20-21 years old, so it was extra money to buy cards and comics with ultimately..........
