There are 2 $1k hits and plenty in the $300 and up range. I may just need to drop the price point and remove the added hits.

IMO opinion you would do better (assuming you want to keep the same profit structure) putting the money in some of the 300 dollar items into one big prize worth several K. The big prize is usually what motivates lottery buyers.

By reducing the size of the break and removing those big hits I should be able to get a price point $15 lower and still using the same (if not better) hit ratio. I will check back responses tomorrow before updating anything else.

I will take one, spot 153 if it is still a go.

Yeah.. The math doesnt work here for a t206 Break does it? Maybe something like the format below a possibility? A smaller break with many many raw commons and only a couple of hits? The price point wold still be high but I think I would take a chance if the price point were below $50.

90 raw commons * $15 = $1350
5 Graded PSA 3 * $50 = $ 250
3 Graded PSA 5 * $100 = $ 300
1 Graded PSA 6 * $250 = $ 250
1 Graded HOF * $1000 = $1000

Value of break $3150 / 100 = $31.50 Per Card
Slots cost $40 * 100 = $4000
Seller Profit App. $400-$500

That's pretty in-line with what I did, believe it or not these are much harder than you would think to put together with a reasonable value for the slot price even only making about 10-12%. For instance accounting for shipping on 100 packages turns the approx profit into $100~ after supplies and negative after labor.

What it boils down to is that I could put together 5 or 6 100 slot breaks and I tried to go too big too fast. I think it would be incredibly hard to put one together at much less than the $50 price point (as everything I have is graded).

I am in the process of putting something together and will get it posted after further thought and hopefully after I can get the math to make sense.
