RE: Rise of the Pixels: A Market Analysis

There are pros and cons to pack resellers. The variance of a pack is fun for some, but a turnoff for many. Why pay $3 for a chance of getting something worth $1 when you could just pay $5 for what you want? When you open a big enough stack, it smooths out the variance, but then you have to turnover enough of your inventory without crashing the market. As there are less than 1000 total sales thus far, a reseller needs to be very patient even for a minimum reseller stack of 100 packs (ideally a reseller would be doing stacks of 200 for the extra boost, but the 2 extra cards might not be worth it for the increased inventory risk).
The key advantage to having resellers in the game is that it brings the prices down for everyone else that wants to build out by buying exactly what they need.
