thats a pretty negative way to look at it tbh
NEVER buy solo boxes from someone who's not a known/respected retailer in the hobby. CCW/Miraj/CNC/Breakaway/Red Nails/and a long list of others in Canada are very well know and do great business. If joe blow is selling a tin of the cup by itself on ebay. then it's probably had the hit picked out, not known retailers (for the most part)

Not sure how you can be so sure any retailer doesnt pull out case hits and sell off the remaining unopened boxes. I think its been pretty common practice for the last 15 years.
Only way to be sure is to buy a full case.

stretch it farther tho - how can you be distributors are not busting cases of something off a pallet until they pull McDavid RPAs.... better buy the whole pallet then!
Yeah, 100000% some retailers do this practice, I can think of one in my city that it is widely assumed does this due to the incredibly high rate of nice singles they sell vs the lack of major hits that come out of their product, but its not a nationally know store, and that's the point I'm trying to make. You can buy from many companies in Canada that are known commodities and I trust not to do this.
Plus, IMO, it is -EV strategy to bust wax until you hit something big. EVERYONE knows breaking wax is generally going to lose you money, and a store needs to churn a profit to pay its bills/employees/buy new stock/ect. At best they can hope to break even by nailing a big card and then selling the rest of the boxes, but again, -EV. Not every case hit pays for a case, in fact most do not, so if a dealer is taking that risk, more often than not, they are going to go under
