Here are a few other things you might want to think about. It helps to provide as much information as possible in order to make your break attractive. Have you determined where the boxes will be purchased from? Might be a good idea if participants had a chance to weigh in with ideas in order to find the best possible deal. Judging from the price per spot ($25) and assuming there will be 16 spots, that comes up to $400 for this break. The 3 boxes you had in mind can roughly be had for around $300-$320 depending on where you get them from. Aside from packaging and shipping (which will not be very expensive since there are only 16 spots....and some members might take 2 spots), what else is the remaining $80 for? How will multi-team cards be dealt with? What shipping options do you offer and how will the cards be packaged? What process will you be using to determine the random teams? Hope that helps!

ATLANTASPORTSCARDS.COMJudging from the price per spot ($25) and assuming there will be 16 spots, that comes up to $400 for this break. The 3 boxes you had in mind can roughly be had for around $300-$320 depending on where you get them from. Aside from packaging and shipping (which will not be very expensive since there are only 16 spots....and some members might take 2 spots), what else is the remaining $80 for? The 80$ will be for the following: paypal fees (8% of 25$ per spot ) which is 1.75 and there are 15 spots not including mine which is 2$ per person. Thats 30$. Boxes will be out from atlanta sports cards . The 3 boxes comes out to right around 300. I was thinking 15 packages would be around 40$ shipping - some might be bigger and some might be smaller so 40$ for that. Plus cases to ship cards in including top loaders , soft sleeves , team bags , possibly magnetics would be right around 15$. So 300 + 40 + 30 + 15 = 385 / 16 = 24.07 - my bad for putting it up for 25. Just put it up there incase a situation came up How will multi-team cards be dealt with? If a multi team card is dealt however many different teams are on the card is howmany spots will be in the random . Lets say a aikman , montana , marino , elway quad auto /10 is pulled . For every one of those teams in there whoever owns the team will receive one spot in the random . So even if someone owns the broncos and dolphins he will get 2 spots , 1 per team he owns on that card. What shipping options do you offer and how will the cards be packaged? Cards will be packaged safe and secure. All cards will be mailed will toploaders , softsleeves and teambags taped shut. That will be no issue whatsoever.What process will you be using to determine the random teams? I will record this. So people on other sites dont mind if the hostess just saves the random as a picture and puts it in the list in the break but with me being new i dont see that happening so random will be done on video as well as all breaks.Hope that helps! Appreciate all the help . Redid all the matth and got 24.07 per spot. Only reason it is 25$ is incase more cases need to be bought or if we pull a sick card would put that in a magnetic or if a thick card is pulled those toploaders are like 4$ a pack for like 3 of them here. Plus jersey cases are expensive i mean it all adds up. Dont want anyone to feel like im getting them here thats not what im trying to do. Hopefully this helps . Thanks again Ryan

Paypal fees (least what they are for me and my breaks here): Amount received: $40.00 USD Fee amount: -$1.46 USD Amount received: $25.00 USD Fee amount: -$1.03 USD Amount received: $20.00 USD Fee amount: -$1.08 USD (from Canada)Amount received: $20.00 USD Fee amount: -$0.88 USD (from US)
Imagine it should be same for you, as only time I see a difference is if from another country (as the way they pay (credit card/echeck/paypal balance) all seem the same for me). Shipping does vary depending on how many cards and all that but rarely hits over $3 for me unless a lot of boxes and boxes with lots of cards (do some older stuff in my low budget breaks). Hope that helps Dwight

QUOTE(road_runner_1964 @ Apr 6 2010, 07:32 AM) x3 Not to be nosing into your break, but one reason (no offense to tyrod as most would have picked those given the same opportunity) was that the best two teams from those years are picked. That is an issue with most breaks, when hosts allow all teams to be picked, they usually have all the good teams gone early and then have slots left to fill.
