Ahhh... the eBay Box break auction

Agreed with that

There are some people however that just cant afford a tin, and then there are those that just plain old like to gamble. Ill be interested to see what kind of $$$ this goes for.

From what I saw on the packs of Ultimate they averaged about 170/pack... Even after fees and shipping are removed thats a decent return for the seller. Not sure if someone would get the same type of return on a tin of the cup, but it will be interesting to see.

You'd think you wouldn't want to do one for a box like The Cup... you figure you're buying in for at least $25... what are there, 5 cards? Your odds of getting just a single card out of that is 1:6. And if you discard the base card, your odds of getting something decent diminish to just under 1:8.

Don't get me wrong, it's cheaper than actually buying the box, but still. I'd rather have the box.

not to mention, im pretty sure the seller would be thrilled with a $25 average... that would be 750/tin... Im sure the pitts/mtl/bos/edm/wsh will fetch some good numbers, but id have a hard time seeing phx/dal/stl hit anywhere near $10.00

Why does everyone hate this so much? I have bought into a bunch of Avalanche ones and gotten some decent stuff, I even sponsored a couple on Ebay, (then they started ending my auctions with less than a day left) I would start each team out at .99 cents except for the Aves with free shipping and usually make 10-20 profit after shipping and fees and cost of the box itself? Always got postive feedback even when peoples teams didn't get anything. It was in my opinion a great option for team collectors. Just my .02 cents

And it has been shut down..
