Seems like a lot of effort for a very small return.

The cases don't have a ton of underlying value. 1/3 of the hits are compelling prospects, and the top two are going to top out at maybe $250 for their sapphire auto?

So you're backed into flipping because the average break is going to return like $175?
5.25 minutes, including a couple back-and-forth messages, for $50 is a lot of time and effort?

Pretty sure the vast majority of BO users net less from one hour of work.
