Please read the following and then post a comment for what you suggest the price you would do for these repacks, much appreciated. The following is the description I would put for them:)
So what you are purchasing is one of the 110 mono color 'Magic The Gathering' repacks I have made.
There are 22 repacks for each of the 5 colors of 'Magic The Gathering.' 22 white. 22 blue. 22 black. 22 red. 22 green.
Each of the 110 repacks contains 25 common cards with no duplicates within each repack.
There are 110 rare cards I have personally picked from my collection. Each repack will randomly get 1 rare by your choice of a number. 1 of the 110 rare cards is a Foil 'Tooth and Nail' from Mirrodin.
You will pick a number from the available color numbers. Ex: blue13 or white4 or black8 or red22 or green16.
Then a number from the available rares.
Ex: rare3 or rare 49.
So an example of a repack is: white16, rare19
The numbers available:
White: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22.
Blue: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22.
Black: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22.
Red: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22.
Green: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22.
Rares: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110.
I like this idea!
So we get 25 commons and 1 Rare
I'd say $3 per pack is fair but that's me
Nothing more than $2 shipped
The way I would figure out the price is to average the price of the rares and round up to the next dollar value.

Me too :)
Shipping is what costs so much, depending on where I would ship these even in USA it can be over $2.
They pay shipping
I've sold tons of repacks on eBay and have offered quite a lot in them. From revised duals to Jace and sliver queen. Nothing over $2.25 ever sold. I included shipping too. The largest sale was probably 50 repacks. They were very happy with their pulls according to my feedback.
It's really hard to sell repacks on private forums also. Trading was interesting but I got screwed on shipping fees when people traded a ton.
Plus cards you trade for drop in value (ugh 2 reckoners @ $25 each initially)
So then 5-6 per repack
Here is link if anyone is interested:

I just don't think that will sell at all.
5-6 for a repack is a lot.
You're almost going to have to spice up your ad with telling about any rares worth more than $5
One will get a foil tooth and nail from mirrodin, it is 40
Quote from: Noblellama on February 19, 2014, 05:58:40 PM
So at $5 there is a 1/120 chance of a $40 card?
You did not read how many repacks there are
It's just really expensive for such a low chance at a money card
My repacks averaged out 1/30 packs for a card worth $20-$50
I would lower it
Okay:) I will lower it:)
I was also wondering if I should make the repacks have all five colors in them?

I personally like the idea of a Monocolored pack
I thought it would be nice since I am a grixis person

Not the point, 120 is very close to 1/110.
I think that $2 + 1/2 shipping is a fair price.

Just the commons are 3-3.50 for 25.. And for shipping buyer pays
If it is a rate then people are paying that much for those cards..

Individually yes but tbh I'd never pay more than a penny (although extinct in Canada) for a {Centaur's Herald}
I just do .10-.14 per common because that is lower then averages of the commons

So what's your new price? If there is a new price
I am going to 6 per repack but I am going to change the percentage of getting the high price card

Way to high still you see when one buys a pack from WotC they are Guaremteed a rare and 14 other mint condition cards! When they buy from a random on eBay they have no clue what they're going to get so they're less willing to take a risk in paying MORE for a pack.
Also foil {Tooth and Nail} is great but for $2 cheaper I can buy a pack of Theros and potentially get a Foil {Thoughtseize}.
Hear what I'm saying?
Just sell repacks that you can send in a single stamp: 28g or 1 oz
Don't do hardcases
Penny sleeves fit up to 12 cards and weigh nothing

This^
$1 x 60 packs will sell faster than $6x x 30 packs even if they had the same potential pool
And I'm telling you this to help:
Shipping for a repack should be less than .80
But eBay factors into your shipping cost also. Losing you money
So I ship most items for free. More items sell faster. You may get X amount if those $6 packs sell but that is a major "IF"
I ended up with 100 repacks after my last run. Thankfully I when I opened them I got my sword and emrakul back. My blood baron, Arabian nights city of brass and sliver queen were claimed in addition to several other cards from $3-$10 value.
These packs sold at 2.25 shipped.
Was Thankful for having 2 money cards in my whole set leftover but in all honesty I would have rather sold all 100 packs left.
I'm collecting my bulk again and will eventually do some repacks after I buy another box, but it's really hard to sell these things without alot of in demand cards.
Maybe if you list any rares over $5 it will help your sales accelerate
On eBay I give people negative karma if it is not shipped in a hard shell on at least with cardboard around it, same on here. I do what I can to protect what I send.. I just have so many commons. 110 x 25 is 2,860 commons... And I have received countless envelopes where people have put I wotc pack with nothing and one stamp does not cover it and I am left to pay shipping.. I want the sellers to get their cards in the condition I send them so it will cost what is necessary. And each repack is 26 cards- 2 penny sleeves for the commons and one non penny sleeve for the rare. Rare will be put between commons. All cards are mint:)
eBay is silly with negative feedback unreasonable feed back can easily be stricken from the record
And people who are quick to leave neg feedback will usually get some back just because they couldn't communicate

I get neg karma on here just because of random things but I have never gotten any on eBay:)
Oh me too
People neg karma me for bumping my trade thread
Whatever tho
I hope I beat them with possibility storm one day in a random GP or pTq
It is like how else are you expected to trade..
My point of view is I never will buy repacks again. Most of the time all the commons and uncommons are from bad expansions and only use would be to burn them. Second the chance of getting a money card is less then trying to hit one in a recent set. If your trying to get money for your card you might want to try to do a lottery and just worry about shipping one card. 99.9% of commons suck so it's really not worth the time and effort. Just my opinion.
