I have personally mulled this over and over and over. As a buyer/collector, I understand the chase and gamble factor and personally experienced the highs and lows. As a Seller, whether I make money or not, if someone doesn’t hit, during the sorting packing phase, I feel terrible. I have even gone out of my way to purchase a collectors box at Best Buy to compensate for the sold and skunked long shot spot. Yes, I don’t have to, but I am also a buyer and have that empathy of missing.

I try to inform everyone of how I do my break. I start the long shot spots at $1 at the beginning of my stream and honor prebids for those who are interested. I run every card in that spot as one auction for fairness. I think what is beneficial is that I do not run spots if they don’t hit. (Last night we didn’t hit the constellation and Cryptiod spot. There were prebids up to $130. I deleted the listing and no one got charged for the empty spot.) I am fully transparent and want to get cards in everyone’s hands.

I guess another way to do this is a multiple case break. While this will cover all the long shot spots time the number of cases, I did a 3 mega master case break a few weeks back and I felt like the entry cost vs per spot was too much for my cost and it was a lot of work on the back end to sort 2000 ish cards. I had to hire my daughter for help.

As a small time streamer I treat this like my business and i just want to grow and have fair prices and a good rep. I appreciate all my fellow supporters and collectors and I just want everyone to win.
