As mentioned, we have a potential pricing change. I actually hadn't been paying attention to this, but I checked, and Mr. 264 is correct. With PayPal's fees, rising shipping costs, etc, our current pricing model doesn't work quite as well as it used to.
With that being said, I've brewed up a couple thoughts on how we can address things:
1. Charge $27.50 per person instead of $25. 2. Charge $27.50 per person IF you want base, $25 per person without base. 3. Break slightly approx. $350ish instead of $375ish. 4. Just keep things the same.
The cost isn't TOO bad on my end, so I'm willing to eat the minor hit I'll take and keep things the same. Also, if we decide to reduce the boxes we buy, we'll take that into consideration NEXT month, so we don't have to modify any options. Any price increases will happen for this month.

Im in I vote payment option #3 And box option #1 And as usual, I only want Peyton and Beanie base.. Now, this whole price issue.. Wasnt this a group break where you PAY to get all your teams cards? If that becomes a money issue, the logical thing is, to calculate as if everyone wants every card. If theres extra money, add that to next months total. Seems fairly simple and straight forward. The thought that because you should pay extra because you want what you already paid for is down right moronic.

Like Sam, I don't have an issue covering some costs, but it is only the right thing to do in being mindful of expenses these days. That is the purpose of the discussion. We can keep it at the $25 level, but the target product spend reduced. That is why we are having the discussion on options. Bob

It says all base, just because the postal prices rise shouldn't mean some should pay more than others. Its a "hazzard" of joining a break where all base can/will be included (by that I mean, if you dont want base, you dont have "extra cash for cards". Its $25 for everything, weather or not you want everything or nothing). When the postage price rises, its either do we all add extra? Or do we cut in the product? The other two options seem illogical. Btw im not being angry or anything, it just seems that way when I dont add a smiley

So if I one month have 10 hits and no base its no extra, and the following month I get 5 base cards, youre telling I should pay more for 5 base cards even though it would weigh less than the 10 hits? All in all it doesnt really matter, I pay extra now and then anyway

And what if I pay extra for base, but due to box selection, i dont get any? Press Pass for example..

CHF - I understand where you're coming from, and yes, theoretically, 10 hits would take more to ship than 5 base, and sometimes, you don't get much base, but we have to look at this for the majority of circumstances.
Generally speaking, base will out-weigh/out-bulk the "hits" by a pretty wide margain, and I can tell you from experience that about 99 times out of 100, those packages WITH base are more expensive to ship and require more sleeves, team bags, etc.
Again, I'm open to ANY of the suggestions, but don't think that this is arbitrary by any means. Just trying to be as fair as we can, as much of the time as we can.
