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

So at $5 there is a 1/120 chance of a $40 card?
You did not read how many repacks there are

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

ibtrickey

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

$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
