when you start a business you gotta have capital. i'm guessing 8 cases isn't even scratching the surface of what chris and ron open.

Alos to anyone who bought cases, how easily do you think that the case pays for itself?

Case paying for itself is easy, assuming you don't have the bad luck of not getting a plunderer.  The question is, is it WORTH it to you to buy a case for breaking down, if you aren't already in the game of doing so.

 Ill go with somewhat low prices, based on what i just got out of my case.

1 plunderer ($275)
2 disco balls (2x40 = $80)
23 footsteps (23x4 = $92)
Ogre Trinket from UDE points ($75)

So thats $522 right there, of the $660 i paid for my box (shipping included).

26 Epics (At least one of each)
262 Rares
~1150 uncommons
~3750 commons
288 Crafting Materials
-25 hearts
-16 heavy leather
-21 talasite
-44 wind scale
-39 primal air
-44 primal mana
-15 primal water
-48 fel steel
-21 eternium
-15 hardened adamantite

Even if I only average $1 per epic/rare, I'm ahead (which it will likely be more than that).


BUT.....assuming you are just an average joe like myself who was bored and decided to buy a case.
think about the following:
Paypal fees
eBay fees
gas to the post office / fedex / ups / wherever
shipping materials - sleeves, mailers, etc
the TIME required to sort all the cards, and manage all those ebay listings
dealing with people who say the cards never arrived

Ultimately in the end, will it truly be worth it? who knows. but its fun to tear through an entire case by yourself, even if most of it will get sold off.

Thanks. I am seriously considering getting a case or two just to resell/trade them here. That info really helps.

If you are in the Kamloops / Vancouver area in B.C. let me know =)

I think the rarity of getting a loot (thanks to the super-common loot) is the same as getting an epic, which is roughly 1:11.  I've opened a box that had only 1 loot and I've opened several with 3.  Same goes for epics. I've opened 1 in a box and I've opened 3.

Now I got my first 3 boxes I ordered today and I managed to top my loot pulls from Servants all in the first box (I bought 7 boxes of Servants and only got 17 Biscuit Loots.  The only Rocket I've managed to open was in prizes at a Regional).  The first loot I saw was a Footsteps, which I expected, then in the next 12 packs of the box I opened a Plunderer loot. Looks like I'll have Continentals half paid for soon.  In terms of epics, I got the 4/7 alliance guy, 2 Akamas (yay), 1 Azaloth, 1 Edward the Odd, 1 Gloves of the Magus,and Varen.  The rares were decent as although I didn't get any Water Elementals and Band of the Inevitable, but I did get 2 Blast Wave, 2 Holy Shock, and a bunch of other decent rares (but no knives either :( )... though 2 Furors :P

JRL

opened 9 boxes think i should stop... use the last 3 for drafting practice.
1 plunderer
2 disco balls
17 footsteps


2 Gloves of the High Magus
3 Water Elemental
3 Insect Swarms
4 The More, the Scarier

Opened my 2 boxes and got the average pulls:

4xFootsteps of Illidan LOOT

4xEpics (Doomwalker, Maiev, Chief Apothecary Hildagard, Collidus)

Just to taunt me a bit I pulled the non-loot versions of Etheral and Disco. Anyway, crafting materials were:

8xPrimal Air

8xPrimal Mana

7xFelsteel Bar

6xEternium Bar

5xHeart of Darkness

5xWind Scales

3xHard Adamantite Bar

2xPrimal Water

2xHeavy Knothide Leather

2xTalasite

Here's my pulls from a case:

1x Plunderer loot
1x Disco loot
22x footsteps

One full set - including all epics

Extra epics: 
Maiev
2x Azaloth
Hammer of Naaru
Kurdan Wildhammer
3x Blood Guard Gulmok
Chief Apothecary Hildagard
Exarch Onaala
Collidus
Doomwalker

Enough crafted mats for 3x each crafted card


I plan on selling off most of the loot, the points, and a few playsets of commons/uncommons, and a few various rares/epics.  Should pay for most (if not all) of my case.

3 Boxes:

2 Plunderer Loots
5 Footsteps Loots

2 Maiev Shadowsong
1 Doomwalker
1 Xi'ri
1 Collidus the Warp Watcher
1 Spirit of Stormrage

The first pack I opened of the 3 boxes contained a Plunderer loot. Ironically, the last pack I opened from the last box contained one as well (That box contained 3 loot cards)!

I'm pretty psyched!

I'm only getting the one box and the only epics I'm hoping for are Xi'ri and Akama. I don;t like my chances :(
