I'd really like to see Massdrop move more toward a model where we pool our resources to buy from distributors at a lower price than retail.

That just isn't the case here. $20 dollar bills have a monumentally larger number of consumers interested in them than Masters 2017 boxes. Buying in bulk for a reduced rate applies to any good, no matter the rarity, when you are dealing with large quantities. Even more so if its a niche item. To give an example, if you had 200 Scooby-Doo lunch boxes from 1973 worth $140, its only worth that money if you can find a buyer. If you cant, they're worth nothing and just taking up space. If someone came to you and said "I'm buying all 1973 Scooby-Doo lunch boxes I find, but only for $139 each, you might be tempted by that deal, even if its a loss on the going rate, if you aren't getting better offers (or their value is dropping; or they're costing you money to store). We've both made examples of the extreme ends of the spectrum; reality is always in the middle. As long as the seller is selling at a profit, most will be willing to sell at a discounted rate for a larger order of product. There are many factors that enter into it, but the bottom line is, in business everything is negotiable if the moneys right.

PhaesicYou are correct in theory by what you say but in my opinion in reality it is not accurate. My guess is anyone supplying Massdrop with product such as MM2017 in qty at this point is someone who buys and sells out of print product. The remaining supply of unopened MM2017 is set and will never increase, but only decrease, over time. Thus, unless the supplier has a reason to believe the product is going to drop in value over time he would have no incentive to drop the price to sell more units if he is able to sell the units already at the price he is asking.. obviously if there are no buyers at a set price then yes, he may need to lower his price.
One example that always caught my attention of a similar scenario involves an art gallery in Vegas. The famous artist does a painting and the gallery makes 100 limited and numbered reprints of the original. Their sales model is to raise the price by 20% for every 10 they sell. Thus the 1st 10 copies may be $500 each, the final 10 copies are $2500 each. Nothing changed other than as the supply went down and the price went up.

idk what y'all were expecting. Why aren't you hammering tcg and ebay retailers for jacking their prices up as well?

You are correct.. Vendors can get the product at a price where they could sell at $180 and make "some" money. What you may not understand is that each Vendor is allocated so many boxes and that is it. It is not like they can buy as many as they want from a distributor or from Wizards of the Coast. Thus, it makes no sense to buy my small allocation from my distributor at $140 per box to sell at $180. I would be sold out within 24-48 hours of receiving it. I would then have to turn around and pay $200+ on the open market to restock it so that I have it available after the 2nd day. If you own a business you would understand that it makes no logical sense to sell something to someone for less than you are going to have to pay to restock the very same item for...

Are you serious? If a store sells something for 10% margin, it's not worth it to carry.
Let me know when MD starts holding FNM or running Modern Drafts.

ghoulishbladeThis just sounds like you're complaining that your best option is to support your LGS.

SHADOWCLOUDMassdrop doesn't set the price point. They go to a partner and ask "What's the cheapest we can get a mass quantity of MM17 from you for?" This is the price that their partners are willing to sell to them at. If there is a failing on Massdrop's part, it's in the fact that they don't have enough partners or the right partners- not necessarily the price listed here.

JimNThe first drop started just before the price spike and they had already arranged a price. It was a really unlikely situation. The units for this drop were purchased after the price spike and depending on the spoilers these may even exceed online retailer prices (although it's really unlikely given the spoilers we already have)

BroadwellThey secured the original price just before the price spike when people were still thinking the set might bomb. They sold about 1700 units the day the expected value of the boxes spiked. If you ordered a box at $180 that morning, you'd be lucky if the seller didn't cancel and relist at 200+ so I'm impressed that they let the drop last as long as it did.

Hi friends,
Due to high demands from Preorder I, we have secured another 325 booster boxes and launch another round of the MM17 booster box pre-order. Some of you might have noticed the price difference for this second preorder drop compare to the first, this is because the cost we were able to negotiate has changed along with the latest market value. Rest assured the second batch will ship on the same date as the first MM17 pre-order (3/17/2017), soo grab-em while it's hot!! :)
