Shens- let's see an ATOT picture.
BTW, I thought you were too poor to be buying $1700 of stuff as an investment- poor college student, 555 deal, no ranch? WTF?

I don't think Bawls is that great... I wonder if they could make some that made you a little tipsy...

I can't take an ATOT picture with all of it, but there's still a significant chunk of it left. Will have one tonight.
And my personal finances have nothing to do with the finances of a student organization.

10% profit on $1700? wow 170 is not even WORTH the effort involved to sell that thing. considering its probably what, 4 of you throwing in on the original price, thats like $425/person, and $42.5 per person for profits. wow, horrible idea. you paid too much if thats your profits at $2/bottle.
sorry man

sure it aint horrible. but how much are they keeping to themselves at the price of 1.25/bottle, and how much they selling at 2/bottle.
the thing is, sure that ain't bad for something on the side. but... thats horrible when you think that an entire pallet should be able to reap so much more in terms of profits at a mere 2/bottle.
okay, im doing the math... im thinking each layer on that pallet has 10 cases, meaning there are 60 cases. i say that because it looks like it by eyeing it since i used to work at a beverage warehouse where i loaded from pallets all the time. 10 is the common number of cases per layer too.
60 pallets, 24 bottle... should be 1440 bottles. that's 1.18 per bottle. every bottle sold at 1.25 would still equal a profit of 100.
im assuming the math was done wrong when coming up with the conclusion of only 10% profit. 1.18/bottle sounds like an awesome deal, leaving room for HUGE profits. at about $28/case, that's a little more expensive per case than I'd imagine. at my old work, i believe my boss paid $22/case of monster and all energy drinks and sold them for $32 to stores. that's $1.33/bottle(can). not sure if bawls was $22 or not though.
either way, its hard to get that cheap per case unless buying numerous pallets and/or just being a distributer to begin with. so $28/case is good.
now, if you sell half of the bottles (720) at $1.25, and the other half at $2.. let's see:
720x1.25 = 900
720x2 = 1440
900+1440 = 2340
2340 - 1700 = 640 profit. that's about 37% profit. quite the profit for not being a general distributer and not selling each bottle at the retail markup. if every bottle was sold at retail, that's a 69% profit ($1180).
might ye try selling most and get into it as a dorm business?
that's money right there, a lot.Wow, lots of people in this thread fail at reading comprehension...
To the general public they make 100% profit, to people inside their organization they make some profit (as opposed to selling at cost which is an option)
So throwing some random numbers out there:
General Public/Internal
75/25 profits $1317.50
50/50 profits $935.00
25/75 profits $552.50
And this isn't per person since it is for an organization, making 1300 for a college organization ain't too shabby.

read my post above yours and u'll see i did math too, and your numbers are off some how. all sales to general public would only yield a max of $1180 in profits. since he said its a lil over $1/bottle and im assuming there is 60 cases, 1.18/bottle sounds quite right.
and i just saw his post saying it was for an organization and not per person.
Yeah, I misread my own chicken scratch. Somehow my estimate of 1500 bottles turned into 1700 when I did the math.
Reworking my numbers for 50/50 yields $734 profit but that is easily covered by my handful of missing bottles from real world case sizes and therefore I also had a lower cost per bottle. Either way not bad profits!
