Hey all,
I'm running a 10 day test to see if I can get an ROI on opening Steem Monsters packs. I purchased 10 packs and I'll be showcasing one of the opened packs each day for the next 10 days. In order to determine the value of the cards within the packs, I'll be looking at the Steem Monsters marketplace for the lowest price on the day that I post the pack. I'll then keep a running total value of cards on the days they are presented and compare it to the cost to purchase 10 packs to determine the ROI associated. Pending the results, I may extend this experiment after these original 10 posts.
Day 1/10
Nothing too special here:
Spineback Turtle - $0.06
Goblin Shaman - $0.08
Flesh Golem - $0.09
Animated Corpse - $0.05
Haunted Spirit - $0.13
Total Value of Cards Day 1: $0.41
Pack Cost: $2.00
Net Gain/Loss: $-1.59
ROI: -79.5%
I already had a feeling that most packs have a negative ROI, so I'm not too disturbed by the result of day 1. I think the main goal is open several packs in hopes of getting a few high value cards to make up for the other packs. I'm more excited to see where we're at at day 10 than on day 1, or at least to see if we trend towards higher ROI with more packs introduced.
