So in this case he would be sitting on 500 spare caps and still be under budget.
I think i'm gonna start running group buys just to profit off everyone.
It depends on what is actually going on in the group buy obviously. If it was me, and
42 Jolly Rogers @ $4.67 is $196.14
100 Jolly Rogers @ $1.44 $144
this was the case, I would probably offer some sort of in the middle price break in order to share the savings. In all of the group buys I've been doing though my minimum is 50 orders for it to get done specifically because it is so unreasonably expensive to not hit that first price break. After that, with the less significant price breaks, it becomes less of an issue for the seller to take advantage of ordering more to save money.
Regardless, I'm certain we're going to be over 50 Jolly Rogers anyways, so it isn't going to be much of an issue.
