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.
