Hi Splinterfans! Pogier here with a followup article regarding my last one about buying it for yourself or from a pool. If you want to read my whole thought process, you can read this one (estimating the value of the vouchers) and this one (fair value).
So I was playing and wondered how much someone would have to spend for the vouchers and the pack if they pool their vouchers with their friends and manage to get the 10% pack bonus. What will the final price per pack + voucher cost? This table answers it!
Possible Cost of Vouchers
| Cost (USD) | # of Vouchers | Cost of Packs | # of Packs | Cost of Voucher with Pack | Final Voucher Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 10 | 40 | 11 | 5.454545455 | 1.454545455 |
| 3 | 10 | 40 | 11 | 6.363636364 | 2.363636364 |
| 4 | 10 | 40 | 11 | 7.272727273 | 3.272727273 |
| 5 | 10 | 40 | 11 | 8.181818182 | 4.181818182 |
| 6 | 10 | 40 | 11 | 9.090909091 | 5.090909091 |
| 7 | 10 | 40 | 11 | 10 | 6 |
| 8 | 10 | 40 | 11 | 10.90909091 | 6.909090909 |
| 9 | 10 | 40 | 11 | 11.81818182 | 7.818181818 |
| 10 | 10 | 40 | 11 | 12.72727273 | 8.727272727 |
So with this table, you can see that with the bonus 10% additional packs, the overall cost on a per pack basis is lessened as shown in the final voucher cost. Remember, the total cost per voucher doesn't change the more you buy.
If you're wondering why on earth will someone even do this? The answer is CURIOSITY! These will also answer the questions, What's my price per pack? Did I lose money with this pack? How much can I resell my pack?
