Price Jumps and Drops

[Rass]

With the way the magic economy works black vise will probably go up some amount. Also dig is still amazing in standard.

Scg already price gouging at 30.

What do you mean? $30 a vice?

Yea everything is either out of stock, illegal for tournament play, or 20 dollars for alt 4, 30 dollars for ftv, and 80-100 for beta and alpha. Woooo insider trading!!!!!! Not.

Note that star city games does not update the price of an item until they have it in stock. So the fact that those editions are priced at 3 dollars is pretty insignificant.

So, I may be wrong. And the people around me may be insanely lucky... But I'm not so sure that holding on to the expeditions is a good idea in the long run. I've seen a total of 13 of them opened since prerelease, and I feel that if this is happening everywhere, then the prices very well could plummet.... The only thing that has convinced me otherwise is SCGs buyout of them.

I was at two prerelease a and saw probably 200 packs opened. 0 expeditions

[blackychan1]

We, at my rather small prereleases (Al's card shop in Edmond, OK) had 4 at the midnight one more in a prize pack, 1 at the noon, 2 In prize packs, and 2 at the 6:00. Then the Judge/host got paid in packs for working it. He pulled 1. And a friend of mine, who is very new at the game, pulled the Arid Mesa in Tulsa (an hour away from me), and traded it for the new UW land expedition (for his standard deck).

[blackychan1]

Did the prerelease boxes have a higher chance of opening them?

That's what I suspect

6 packs per person, we had 32, 30, and 44 people... We saw 3 the first night, 2 the second and 2 or 3 the third.

With a case being 6x36 = 216 packs, and the estimate of one per case, .463% would be the average chance per pack.
3/192 = 1,563%
2/180 = 1,111%
2/264 = .758%

All in all, those results are higher then expected, provided the estimates are correct.
Need more results to say anything sensible though.
Marketing-wise it would be a great move to sell even more product. Seeing them pulled at an event with such a (relative) small pool of 6, makes buying a few boosters just to try and get lucky more likely.
Does mean estimated value of the set will drop. For the expeditions, I don't think it will matter too much. If you pulled one, you'll always profit.
For speccing, this is s bad time to get on, but that goes for pretty much everything just after prerelease.
