I agree, now thinking about this myself. I sometimes need to mess around for hours, communicating, waiting,etc, to sell a $10 frag. Selling a pack would make it worth getting my arm wet

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

I'm talking retail. Not reefer to reefer.

Geez. Something is really lost in translation here.

I don't think so, the topic is just evolving I think it applies to retail also. Much easier to bag and ship a pack than single sales. If I were a retailer, I'd likely prefer to sell packs. More profit for labour involved.

Fair enough.

I don't mind buying several off a reefer as prices are better than retail and buying five frags is usually a deal.

But generally it's also what I want and not just a bunch packed up.

I LOVE frag packs !

If there's something in the pack I don't want I'll just sell it to someone who does want it. #ProTip

Ok. Now this is constructive.

I might consider that in the future if I can justify at least half of what's in the pack. And if the extra is not a dud.

Or before you even commit to the frag pack, rope in some friends who might also be interested and share the cost up front. :-) There's always someone looking for the black liquorice. One man's junk (no, not that junk you perverts!) is another man's treasure.
