The quick math on an OP-17 Prerelease:
We are expecting 32 players (with a 64 person cap) because there are two or three other events running at the same time in our city.
Each person gets six packs to build their deck, and three packs at the end of the event. That is exactly the amount of product in a case.
Market price for a case is ~$4400. Entry for the event is $35. After judge fees ($75) and product costs ($900ish), profit per box is approximately $12.
Since we're running this event twice, we're giving up almost $8500 before selling discounted boxes to our regulars.
While this doesn't greatly affect our store because of our allocation, for stores that do not get more than their minimum guaranteed allocation, the Prerelease might eat up the majority of their product.
As a consumer, the Prerelease is an awesome way of experiencing the set in an affordable way. For small stores, it feels like a lost opportunity.
