That's true. I've been keeping an eye on it to see what route I could take to get a couple promo cards and some packs I didn't put up for...lol With the current data available, for me, 100 packs is definitely out. But 10 hive would be hard to make a deal that I could provide enough value with as well as achieve what I want.
I'm obviously going to continue monitoring this closely.
In the meantime, I have enough now !PIZZA
There's likely many in the same boat as you. Enough to get a decent amount of boosters presale but not enough to hit that bonus level which is why I put together an offer to see if such people would be interested. I'm giving the promo card for every 50 packs purchased and 15% booster bonus. Min booster purchase is 20. Pack price is $3.60 + Voucher.

Making sure I understand. You're offering the promo for 50 and a 15% bonus at a discount for buying aftermarket from you, basically a discount for giving up the future airdrop potential part?
I was expecting about an $8 voucher and was thinking to buy my way to 50 when 100 blew up in my face to get at least some of what I wanted, (the promo card, if not the discount.) I'll have to look and see how vouchers go for a few days to see how much of that plan is still viable or if I have to default to marketing to the high rollers for discounted vouchers. I will definitely keep you and your offer in mind though. I made a note about it.
I will give the gntd promo card for each 50 boosters purchased + 15% booster bonus. In your case of wanting exactly 50 you would get the promo card and 8 extra boosters. I round any 0.50+ booster percent upwards. I'll be paying with SPS and am passing the 10% savings to anyone purchasing packs with me. That puts the cost of purchased boosters at $3.60 USD + a voucher.
There's some drawbacks. One that you noted, no future airdrop potential. I won't be making my purchase until the last days of presale / first days of grace period. Presale last 4 weeks and then there's a 7 day grace period in which the presale still takes place but no more vouchers gets airdropped. I will accept HIVE/HBD/DEC or SPS as payment. Payment needs to be given to me before I make my purchase. I won't be accepting payments until the days leading up to my purchase.
Fail safe for your currency while I'm holding it. Once you give me the funds + vouchers to cover the cost of the booster purchase you want I will lock that price in for you. This means that if the value of the tokens used as payment dip, I will cover the extra cost myself BUT if the value of the tokens rise I will send you any balance not needed that is owed to you. This applies up until the moment I make the purchase. I'll likely put out a detailed post within the next 24 hours to see if this gets any interest.
