Blowout's Football "Promo" is a Scam to an extent
 

Was interested in the promo at first, figuring should be a fun thing to join into. Added up the numbers and realized the complete opposite.

This isn't a promotion at all. This is a way for blowout to make an extra 15%-20% margin on your purchase...The total cost of ALL boxes in the blowout store currently is $9,932. They collect a total of $19,195. A difference of $9,263. Season awards are $3500 and based on last year's record and we'll add 2 more just for kicks means they give out $6000. Leaving $3263 left. Take off couple hundred for shipping costs and your left with a cool $3000 of PURE EXTRA PROFIT. Kind of a scam if you ask me to call it a PROMOTION.

Call it a contest, anything but a promotion. A promotion signifies savings and this DOESNT offer any such savings.

Price should be no more then $179.95 a spot and I would actually have joined for a spot for 1 at that price but $200? Just increasing margins.

yhellothar

Way to make a splash with post #9. I have a feeling it may be your last.

Welcome to the boards!

Feel free to not participate. Easy peasy

If you really wanted to make a point you would include that the 6,000 given back from gift cards will be used to buy boxes and everything else on BO

Even with that its fun to follow a team and a player the whole season... And u get a box altho it wont be $200

Its a fun promo every year and dont join if you dont want...
They filled up 4 last year so clearly many peole loved it...

This one is heating up

lol, what more can really be said.

bwahahahahahahahaha

yes.

I'm not joining the promo. lots of crappy boxes not worth 200 bucks

Forgot Blowout makes about 5-15% margin already so really its more like $4000-$5000 of pure profit for this AWESOME PROMOTION!

I am sure it costs nothing for the employees to have to track and monitor all of the events to make sure there is a legitimate winner.

I hate people like you OP.

I was actually REALLY interested in the promo and figured lets add up all the costs. When I calculated the actual amounts it stunned me and it really bothered me that they called this a promotion when its the complete opposite. Promotions save customers money, this does the opposite.

How dare a business make a profit... Those bastards!! :devil:

I'm not anti-capitalism, I'm actually a financial advisor in real life. Graduated from UMD in 2012. What I am anti is when businesses lie to their customers. All businesses should make money but they shouldn't do it in a way that is shady and I think this is very shady. Making this "promo" sound fun and all when all they're really doing is doubling their margins. Shady.

I have no problem with a business making money but they shouldn't call a contest where they make money and double their usual profits a "promotion".

Just because you are an idiot...

A SALE saves customers money. A promotion is something you bring forward or showcase. It does not mean a sale. Now go away and quit being dumb.

There is nothing in the word promotion that states or even implies saving money. The root word would be promote which seems to be what they are doing. You are actually helping them promote by making threads and keeping it on people's minds... God forbid a company promote themselves.

Op, think your confusing promotion with sale...definition of promotion;
pro·mo·tion /prəˈmōSHən/

noun noun: promotion activity that supports or provides active encouragement for the furtherance of a cause, venture, or aim. "disease prevention and health promotion" synonyms: encouragement, advocacy, furtherance, furthering, advancement, assistance, aid, help, contribution to, fostering, boosting, stimulation, boosterism "the promotion of justice" the publicization of a product, organization, or venture[B] so as to increase sales or public awareness [/B] synonyms: advertising, publicizing, marketing; More a publicity campaign for a particular product, organization, or venture. plural noun: promotions "the paper is reaping the rewards of a series of promotions" the activity or business of organizing publicity campaigns. plural noun: promotions "she's the promotions manager for the museum" a sporting event, especially a series of boxing matches, staged for profit.

CHEMISTRY the action of promoting a catalyst. the action of raising someone to a higher position or rank or the fact of being so raised. "majors designated for promotion to lieutenant colonel" synonyms: upgrading, preferment, elevation, advancement, step up (the ladder) "her promotion at work"

Marketing 101: a promotion is designed to promote a particular product, service, or products to the general public. Blowout is promoting their football boxes and giving away prizes while doing so. This isn't a Sale or clearance. They can make as much profit as the choose. There are a lot if expenses you're not factoring in. As others sId, don't buy any products if you choose.

At least someone understands the point to my topic post. A lot of giveaways and such by blowout are truly that but this one is a bad egg in my opinion. Just trying to let others know. Last year they filled 3 or 4 of these and walked away with a cool 5 figure extra profit paycheck. That isn't worth 30-60 minutes a week checking stats at all.

now look at it like this...last year I got a crap box and cam newton, I hit zero of the bonuses...it cost me 199.99 (I will use 200 to make it easy)...so for that 200 I got a box of cards and 16 chances at winning 1-2 hundred dollars per week, and a chance at the big prizes at the end...so for around 12.50 my sundays now become really exciting because I now have a dog in the fight...im a tampa bay fan and I found myself cheering on cam newton all year long lol....you cant goto a movie and get popcorn and a drink for 12.50 in many places anymore and you sure as heck wont have a chance to hit a hundred here or there and possibly strike it rich at the end......

Online you can gamble in office pools like this that payout 90+%. Vegas payout rate is higher then what was provided here in this "promo" ~75%. Can get the same thrill with a better payout overall my friend.

If they gave away $6000 like you said, wouldn't that be a loss for them because it is $6000 in gift cards?

I just find it rude to join a forum then immediately call their promotion a scam. Just my 2 cents

[QUOTE=nibrugnerotto;7847716]If they gave away $6000 like you said, wouldn't that be a loss for them because it is $6000 in gift cards?[/QUOTE]

Read the math again. If one were to buy all 96 boxes that they give away in this promotion the cost is 9232. The total they collect from 96 spots at ~$200 a pop is almost double that. They only pay out $6000. So thus from spending $18000, customers get back ~$15000 in boxes + gift cards only.

You think this thread is bad? Look up bitcoin, the payment method that WILL replace the scam known as Paypal. You wouldn't last 5 seconds on that forum if you're that soft.

Before anyone says about paypal not being a scam, google bitcoin and paypal payments. Google buying hacked paypal account with working CC for $10-$20...everytime someone uses a hacked account or claims they were hacked paypal refunds the hacked/scammer. After you sent them their item already.

Another example - you buy a $1000 card off ebay and pay using paypal. All the seller has to do is provide proof they sent you "something" and paypal will side with them. Happened to me. Was out $900+ for a card and received a card worth not even $5.

Also scammed for a $1000 payment.

I collected all the prices for the boxes in the promotion and put it on an excel spreadsheet. If anyone is interested in seeing it please let me know and I'll email it to you.

Did you also calculate the cost of operation during the promotion? Tracking, keeping score, and what not?

Did you calculate the cost of maintaining a forum?

You do realize that Blowoutcards aka The Fantastic Store has to be in business for this promotion to endure, yes? Is it a possibility that the $3000 in "pure profit" goes into the cost of maintenance for the store?

this says it all about your knowledge....paypal rarely sides with the seller...you ship a 5 dollar card when you advertised selling a 1000 card....file a item not as described and send it back and pp no questions asked usually sides with the buyer....

I know its a business and all but sometimes this hobby should be fun... and these promotions are great fun imo.

Don't like it, Don't join --- seems to be an easy solution. Why call it a semi-scam? There is nothing about these promotions that isn't crystal clear. I for one think its cool that blowout does promotions like this.

I could gather these statistics easily spending at most an hour a week on Tuesday morning. 16 weeks x $10.00/hr = $160 labor cost.

I don't believe you, ask any of the hundreds of people who was scammed...if you send me a 5 dollar common inplace of a 54 bowman mantle....all I have to do is file an item not described case and send it back with proof it was delivered back to you....id go as far as to say it would be easier to actually get the mantle and lie and say you got a common then file the item not described case and ship the common back and have proof it went back and was delivered and they will side with you everytime EVERYTIME

That is where they create their prices for the PACKS / BOXES / CASES from. Employee cost for this $160 (16 weeks x 1 hr at $10/hr labor). Forum again was created BEFORE these promotions so they also associate that cost to the prices of the boxes. For forums they are using one of the more common forum softwares and leasing that software for about $300-$800 a month. Servers another $100 or $200. Again built into the costs of all other products. This promotion does not equal $3000 in costs so don't even try saying that.

Price for this "promo" should be no more then $179.95 per spot. I would actually participate and buy a spot if it was reasonable like ~$180 a spot. Leaves ~$1000 for overhead (5%) (which is actually reasonable).

Last I checked Blowout cards is a business. The purpose of a business is to make a profit. They are not a charity and they are not here to give you or anyone else free cards. As others have pointed out if you don't wish to purchase their products or do business with them you are free to pass.

if you think the only costs in a business are the "obvious costs" you need to check again....take my business for example...we are pretty seasonal for 3/4 of my employees...during the winter I lay them off and in the spring they come back...they pay their normal taxes and I have to match those taxes for them to get unemployment for the 4-5 months they are laid off...so if they pay their costs but my company doesn't pay their costs well someone wont be happy when the first snow starts flying...

they are in it to make money...that's the whole reason for this website...if you think they created this forum to be just a fun place to hang out and shoot the breeze your sadly mistaken...it was created to draw attention to their website to sell boxes...

the same can be said for group breakers...a majority of them make decent money just breaking packs...are they scammers as well...

these promotions aren't to make money for the people entering them...its to have fun and follow a certain player and if that player does well you might hit a nice score out of it..and blowout made the promotion to make money..

your being to analytical about it, stop diving deep and pointing out the obvious...omg blowouts trying to make money off its customers they are scammers..no they are a business with paying customers...if the price was 5 dollars to enter I bet you would be first in line to buy as many as you could...does that make you a scammer? no it doesnt

[QUOTE=jumbogorilla;7848044]You only answered one of the three questions. Why are you on this forum again?[/QUOTE]

Because I'm a collector. But unlike most who shell out hundreds or thousands for crappy products (the market sucks now since about 2008) I only look for the best. I order 1-2 boxes a month and order mostly veteran singles like mantle, dimaggio, etc...

Just to throw it out there I am looking to trade a 2009 Donruss Elite Mike Trout RC Auto /495 for mantle originals or a cut. Please PM if you can supply and I'll provide pics.

Take National Treasures for example, you spend $500 for a box and are lucky to get back $200 of what you spend. The market is all high end crap now and it sucks for the hobby. Buying vintage singles is about the only way to go these days with some exception to the rule of course.

This isn't a promotion at all. This is a way for blowout to make an extra 15%-20% margin on your purchase...The total cost of ALL boxes in the blowout store currently is $9,932. They collect a total of $19,195. A difference of $9,263. Season awards are $3500 and based on last year's record and we'll add 2 more just for kicks means they give out $6000. Leaving $3263 left. Take off couple hundred for shipping costs and your left with a cool $3000 of PURE EXTRA PROFIT. Kind of a scam if you ask me to call it a PROMOTION.

Call it a contest, anything but a promotion. A promotion signifies savings and this DOESNT offer any such savings.

Price should be no more then $179.95 a spot and I would actually have joined for a spot for 1 at that price but $200? Just increasing margins.[/QUOTE]



Dave? Adam? come on fess up we caught ya hahaha

Reading OP's posts reminds me of a certain someone who enjoyed his cards poolside.

Compare this:
I go to a baseball stadium and buy a single hotdog and a coke for 15 bucks
I go to my local shop right and buy 2 packs of hot dogs, 2 loaves of bread, 2 bottles of ketchup and 2 gallons of water - this costs less than the stadiums 1 hotdog and 1 coke.

If you don't like it then don't buy.

Many of Blowout's products they buy individual boxes for. Products like 2007 sp legendary which solely rely on the case hits for revenue if you sold your case results are how they can offer such low prices on the products. Someone opens a box of SP legendary cuts and finds their case hit autograph. The other 7 of 8 boxes with minimal hits most likely Blowout buys from them. Then they sell them to you.

Thats why they have such low prices. Dave & Adams AND Steel city are the same in that aspect, thats why products that can be weighed should only be purchased locally at the time of release. Otherwise huge hits will have been already cheated out of us online buyers.
