Who has that guide?
Up late or early again, and those wheels keep grinding, lately been thinking a lot about how to offer everything for free or at least darn near close to it.
Like more of a service rather than a business, shipping costs suck but can't avoid them, and would actually kind of streamline the process to not have to stock 18 different sizes of boxes(may be unavoidable though)
Any ideas?
Would a go fund me campaign help or a 1 time charge for a "lifetime" supply be ok?
Been leaning on something like199$ and after that all you pay is shipping and zero costs on the cards.
An inventory break of sorts as opposed to the traditional box or case break, but this one just keeps going as more inventory comes in and wow does it ever around here.
Thoughts, suggestions and opinions are greatly appreciated.

You might have success with a monthly fee where folks can cancel if they want to our need to. Then you can offer a price break for a 1 yr subscription etc.

I'm not sure I follow what you are asking?
Based on what Ironfireman wrote, it sounds kind of like one of those blind mystery box subscription ideas (look up Lootcrate as an example). People love those. My daughter had two different types we'd gotten her as christmas gifts and she loved getting a mystery box every month (or every other month as the 2nd one was).

You reminded me of that thought i had a while back which isn't out of the question, a sort of "Prime" collector club for example 9.99 per month, cards are free plus shipping.Which i think may be easier to digest than a 1 time fee of 199$ cancel at any time no obligations etc..

How many 40-card bundles would be allowed in a month? This idea intrigues me. Also,I got my 1st package from you today on my lunch break, and was very happy with the cards. I have another on its way too. Thanks!

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

I have two packages on the way. I've always been very pleased with the cards I've purchased from you!
Why do you want to change?

We have always wanted to be THE #1 and not 1 of , problem there is that it would likely mean hiring and trusting employees then the associated costs involved.
It would help with adding more inventory to the site as it is unfortunate to only offer approximately 1% of what is there(here)
Going big without remaining small would be risky of course but may need to"plunge" in that direction

I love your store! In fact, I just made another purchase. Your prices are more than fair, I'd say. I find it a bit easier to search the site than I used to. A subsription Idea seems good, but I'd fear making some sort of unlimited bundles of 40 may be bad for your business having to ship all of these cards out. I assume you would cap these bundles to your 10 cent cards?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding. You probably mean that a subscription price covers shipping, and the card costs would be on top of that. Or could a membership to your store provide a discount on your list prices? Just thinking aloud here.
