Keep on the lookout for some low-priced boxes for the quick flip!

Plus parking not worth the trip for 4 boxes unless bringing cousins, babies, and long lost relatives with you.

How can you say that though?

Most people on the forums net less from an 8-hour work day.

To ship or pick up at the store? I also left a voicemail on October 6th but have not heard back yet. So you are saying there is still a chance?

Definitely not the impression I get from the majority of posts. Anyway you're talking about flipping. I'm assuming people want to open too and a drive into Manhattan for only 4 boxes isn't a great way to spend your weekend.

There's a lot of people on the forums who aren't netting anywhere close to the profits they'd get from 4 boxes. A number of people are moving these boxes locally (or online) for $130-$135 per (F/F payments too). That'd be $300-$320 net minus cost of shipping. That's the equivalent of $78-83.2k post-tax per year.

For locals who want to open the product, it's even more reason to drive into Manhattan to pick them up at MSRP instead of paying secondary market rates.

In-store, they're probably $55 per ($220 total). The same 4 boxes would cost around $650 shipped to a New Yorker. In addition, buying in-store means the boxes are in-hand today whereas buying online means waiting a good number of days before the boxes arrive.

just got a 4 box order in over the phone from the last sign up.

saw someone reference getting on a new list for the “next shipment” a few posts above. don’t think this new sign up is for another shipment, it’s just a fallback list if for some reason these don’t sell out with the list they already have along with walk ins.

lol this debate is going way OT but locals wouldn't even have to drive to the store. Anyone who must drive is coming from at least an hour away and beyond the subway. Add parking plus obnoxious traffic and it isn't worth the 4 boxes. Just my opinion.

As for using FF payments for merchandise on an ongoing basis, I wouldn't count on that as a seller to stay under the radar forever. That's from seeing a long time FF seller getting forced into regular payments.

My family of 7 and the dog are almost at GW bridge. We started in Naples, Florida. I prepacked bologna and peanut butter sandwiches and we are stopping at local rivers and creek beds to fill up Nalgenes of water and purifying with iodine tablets. We are sleeping at Wal-Mart parking lots to maximize our net profit. This will be the first time my kids get to use a credit card, they are so excited.

No one is going to make $80k/year post tax flipping these logofractor boxes.

You are assuming that 4 boxes will be available to you at $50 apiece for every working day of the year for the next year - it’s just a clown example, bro.

It’s like saying I can make a living buying TSLA stock if I can buy it for $150 every trading session and selling it for $200 at the end of session -easy peasy, when you aren’t dealing with reality, anything can happen.

People will be fortunate to have even two opportunities to buy at prices this low - it’s not going to happen every day of the week.

Enjoy the quick flips while you can, these will be rare gifts in the upcoming year.

For shipping. I callled them at 11am est on the 6th. It’s a bit sketchy at first glance as they took my card info over the phone but have me email them my address. The lady seemed pretty rushed (obviously) and didn’t even confirm my email came through.

Haha, I don't know what OT stands for.

You're right though, it's a lot of effort for 4 boxes. With that said, if you want to rip and can get 4 boxes for $220 after taxes for what would normally cost ~$650 online (and can rip today as opposed to next week), it's absolutely worth it (for most, not all).

Remember, people spend the night (or multiple nights) in line at various stores for Black Friday deals that aren't even as good as these Logofractor deals. Time isn't an issue. I'd like to assume that gas/parking would be an extra (at-most) $60.

But yeah, I'm sure most are being consumed by locals who live 30-45 minutes away and would commute via subway.

Tourists don't take the subway anymore. Sorry, you guys F'ed that up big. Freely robbing everyone unless some decent citizen catches it on video. I remember stepping over piles of homeless feces trying to get to a Mets game and puddles of piss everywhere like some 3rd world country.

I see. Sounds like a nicer version of the SF Bay Area (SF and Oakland) and LA (Skid Row).

Off topic and there's a forum here. It's like a BO equivalent of the old back of the high school smoking area.

Slightly, and then throw Portland in there. My brother had to go there on business and they made him vaccinate against all the diseases coming back from the dead in their tent cities. All the animal #@#@#@#@/piss, human piss/herion/puke/spit. And the rain to mix it up like a batch of death.

So, where are you originally from? I'm guessing Connecticut or Alabama...
