HEY GUYS JUST THOUGHT OF A REALLY COOL SHOW BOTH IDEA!!

[Dpanthers14]

While sitting here I was thinking on ideas how to make more money at show well I have an idea.Well instead of having lowend grab bags what about putting hits in them for example;
each pack $10 every pack has a auto/gu/cash in it. Have one toploader in each pack that has the hit so all of them feel the same. Cash I mean inserting between $1-$20. Just an idea lmk how it sounds.

Thats what i thought i wouldn't hurt, last show i did $5 team bags and let them filled them up and they did really well.

Sounds like a good idea.. the shop I used to go too (before they closed ) did the exact same thing. They had the $1 grab bags with randomly inserted $15 gift cerfificates... and $10 grab bags that had an auto or gu and randomly inserted $25 gift certificates.

Thanks, I thought most people are willing to gamble there $10 bucks at a chance to double it or get a decent gu/auto

I like the gift certificate idea, I could do that also that they could use the gift certificat at my booth

Yes I do I for one if I was close to you (in a non affectionate way) I would buy some of those if I saw them.

The was a store by me like Terry posted that did something similar. I would say yes go ahead and do it.
If it does not work you lose nothing, and if it is a hit you gain everything.

I'm thinking the same thing. It also allows me to get ride of some cheap gu/autos and get a higher price out of them if i would of sold them out right but also a chance for them to hit some decent cards/cash

 

[Dpanthers14]

25 packs
5 commons/inserts/#ered cards
2 chrome RC also parallels randomly inserted
20 gu/auto
2 $5 plus gu/auto
2 $2 plus gu/auto
1 $20 plus gu/auto
I was thinking about this you would have a 20% chance of hitting cash and auto/gu. do you think it should be higher or lower

Well I hope this idea works because I am doing it at the next show on Dec 19 - 21. My version is 3 cards for $5.00. Each pack has a RC, GU or Auto, and a #'d card. I've already made up about 450 bags. Hope they do well.

There's a sucker born every minute.

I've seen booths selling the same thing and have never seen someone happy about their purchase. Still, the things seem to sell.

These "grab bags" that you are suggesting are essentially the same as the packs that companies release. The only problem is that the normal collector trusts card companies a lot more than a random seller at a show. Yes, with packs, you aren't going to get your money back most of the time but you at least know the big hits (gold refractors, cut autos, whatever) will be inserted (however low the odds). With a random dealer, that's never a guarantee since the dealer knows exactly what's in what pack. With GU worth $1-2 on ebay, no one's going to want to buy these packs without some promise of the possibility of a big hit.

Well in my case as the seller I'll take that as a positive

Myself and another member have discussed having a hot chick in a bikini at our booth....that will distract anyone from their less than stellar pulls from $5 grab bags.

And no....this is not a troll post or a joke.

** Lets be honest, most of you have never seen a hot chick half naked in real life before....other than maybe your sister.
