Ac Web Repacks

[Tamela Vandonsel]

Iwill make this short. lots of sellers out there selling magic the gathering repacks. from what I've read on different boards and feedback. there has not been a single person that got that lotto hit. I read one store the guy got a dual land and he spend hundreds in one hit to get a 200 dollar card. any thoughts. also I see these sellers that sell repacks have odd listing descriptions. like example a few write they roll dice on all the sales and add the number of cards extra that the dice shows. like that's actually going to happen. put it on YouTube if you do that. also I seen on a deck repack. pay me 100 extra and i will toss in 200 random rares. has anyone ever made out and would anyone like to help me put a stop to repacks.

So, most mtg players will know what I'm talkin about. mtg is magic the gathering card game. when you buy a pack of cards they come in 15 card packs normally. people are repacking packs and selling them as repacks. but there's a catch. its a gamble. they say you have a chance to win super rare cards with high dollars value. the sellers post pics of sum of the most valuable cards in magic history. in not talking like a 100 dollar card. I'm talking like 10,000$ plus wins. then google search there images and i see 200 of the same pic all over the web, selling all over, from different sellers and sites. now i can see using a pic or scan of a card for representation but these pics are on a kitchen table. looks like there is sellers all over the world with the same pic. its made to look like they have those cards on hand. more than likely most of these re packers don't have these cards as they are so rare. odds are they don't, sum might but the majority of repacks are just getting rid of the bulk rare cards that are not worth anything. there are a few sellers that do it right. there are too many sellers that don't. also these repacks are usually more money than a new pack as well, due to the chance factor. I get it don't buy it like the guy commented below. I don't. But this is to help others out there before they get taking advantage of. maybe a solution would be if they supplied a you tube vid showing they actually posses these cards. I see feedback left from others like "i bought 200 packs got nothing worth more than a dollar", but they cant really leave negative feedback cause its there fault for taking the gamble, the chance. but in reality the chance more than likely does not exist. and for the seller to profit on this and actually give out the cards promised. well just sell the 10 cards in the pic for 100 grand. they will sell, black lotus, dual lands, alpha beta!! google it!! one lotus sold for 82 grand 2 years ago. that's one of the cards in most sellers repacks!!!

One thing that I forgot to mention was that I'd really like to see the number of jumps made in a year on those countries that have over 120 days reserve repacks cycle and the number of jumps made in US.

I think the only reason to keep it short would be if there actually was experience/evidence from the countries that have had longer cycles (for many years) that shows problems that a shorter cycle would have prevented.

A repack generally means that someone took the box apart first (often using box mapping tools), took out some of the more valuable cards (Things like Snapcaster Mage and Liliana of the Veil) then resealed the packs with the other cards intact.

Some people will sell repack from older set, showing that they did put some "money cards" like old dual lands or Black Lotus. Never forget that they want to make money. The combined value of those money cards will be far lower than the whole lot of repack he is selling. Some of them may be honnest and there may actualy be those money cards in the lot, but if the lot has 20 000 repack you will have to be awfully lucky to get good stuff. In all ways, it's a worst gamble than buying a sealed box of booster, wich is worst than simply buying the cards you want as single.

I've seen some people online who do cool repacks where they repack nothing but Rares or good commons/uncommons (like Daze or Aven Mindcensor), then throw in multiple Alpha/Beta/Revised dual lands. Those seem like a good deal for EDH players looking to bulk out their collections.

For fun we picked up a booster box of multi-set repacks at our LGS (really cheap). Our intention was drafting, but we found that since they are multi-set the cards lack the synergies when drafting from a single block, plus the odds of getting to of the same card are close to zero.

Drafting with multi packs or with packs from all different blocks works just fine you just need to aim for certain archtypes (control, aggro, ect) as opposed to specific strategies (such as human tribal) and you'll have more success. In my experience the only rule you really need to have outside of regular draft rules is to ban the unsets. Sealed also works well. Same advice (archtype over specific strategy) applies though you have a bit more leeway since you can see everything you have from the get go.

FitGirl, the creator of the site, does not crack games; instead, she uses existing game installers or pirated game files like releases from the warez scene and repacks them to a significantly smaller download size. The repacked games, usually limited to Microsoft Windows, are distributed using file hosting services and BitTorrent. FitGirl Repacks claims to be based in Latvia.[6][7]

In 2012, FitGirl started compressing game files for personal use. After realizing that public repacks on pirating sites were smaller than her initial repacks, she decided to learn how to optimise her own compression. When her repacks became more optimised than the ones already available, she decided to start sharing them. The first one she shared was a repack of Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions on Russian trackers. Since then, her repacks have grown in popularity.[2]

We recommend having your reserve repacked once annually. The reserve can carry moisture trapped in the deployment bag. Over time is can become compressed, and any sand, dirt, or grit can damage the fabric. The annual repack increases your chance of a fast opening time. Untangling your reserve bridle lines before shipping will reduce your cost and the amount of time we spend untangling lines. You must complete the Eagle Service Ticket Form before sending us your items to be serviced. In our professional opinion, reserves that are 10 or more years old, should be retired regardless if they have been used or not. It comes down to safety and overall fabric degradation over the years. We cannot offer repack service to reserves 10 or more years old.

The other option is to stop by our shop at 415 W. Anapamu Street in Santa Barbara, and throw your reserve in our simulator. Either way, you want to make sure you go through all steps of a reserve deployment each and every time you are having the reserve repacked. We have been repacking reserves since 1998. We offer a more reliable service than someone who repacks once a year: we do this every week!

I am trying to look on the bright side here. I am sure there are some new collectors out there looking to get their hands on new Photo Real versions of Han Solo (Bespin Outfit), Luke Skywalker (Bespin Fatigues), General Lando Calrissian, and C-3PO. But they also need longtime collectors of the line to remain engaged too so that this line remains a success. So, here are some thoughts of what Hasbro should do to make these repacks a success.

3. I am pretty excited about a Photo Real update of HAN SOLO (BESPIN OUTFIT). This is a fantastic figure already, but Photo Real would make the figure almost definitive. I would love to see this figure placed on a variant ROTJ card back, but a re-release of TESB would be fantastic too. Would it also be possible to tweak his hips a bit? Or is that asking for too much?

The market for single asset insured repacks is set to grow, and potential changes to loan structures and insurance products, together with growing interest from institutional investors looking for value in fixed income assets, will increase the flow of these transactions going forward, writes John Wake, Head of WTW Financial Solutions Structuring.

This article is intended to provide a high-level and simplified overview of a complex product that is attracting increasing interest from banks, insurers and investors and, within the constraints of available page space, does not drill down into the fine detail of how these structures work for all the parties involved.

Single asset swap repacks have been used for over 20 years to transform the cash flow characteristics of one asset into another, for example by changing the currency of the initial asset to one preferred by the investor, or from fixed rate to floating rate.

Many European banks have established vehicles, many of which are Luxembourg domiciled, to facilitate these transactions. In addition to the distribution of assets and meeting the needs of their investors, banks can make good revenue from the embedded swap, although this creates a residual credit risk to the bank.

A more recent development has been the application of Comprehensive Non-Payment Insurance (CNPI) to repack structures in order to credit enhance higher yielding/lower credit quality assets to meet the needs of asset managers looking for yield, but whose mandates may prohibit them from holding non-investment grade assets. With its genesis in the insured trade receivables market, in which insured pools of receivables are routinely repackaged and sold as shorter dated investments to institutions, there is now significant interest from both originating banks and asset manager investors in single loan insured repacks, with insurance appetite to support these structures coming from the CNPI, rather than the trade credit insurance market.
