    Analyzing the best and worst deals of the SBR store

    In an effort to look out for the common poster I have taken it upon myself to analyze some of the better and worse deals in the SBR store with the exception of Sportsbook deposits because since I am in the USA that means I am too irresponsible to be able to wager my own hard earned money according to the people who run the country.

    All products will be compared to the $50 Amazon gift card. If you have Amazon Prime, you can get anything Prime eligible, no matter the weight or details shipped 2 day for free of $3.99 for Next Day from Amazon and depending on what you are doing if it involves merchandise you should consider them.

    That being said the first product to be analyzed is the Weber Gas Grill http://store.sportsbookreview.com/products/113-Weber-Gas-Grill. It really does look impressive and I was considering it down the road. Upon further analysis here's how the numbers pan out:

    Grill = 8684 points
    minus
    Amazon Gift Cards = 7*1168 (price per gift card)=8176 points (http://www.amazon.com/Weber-426001-3...+300+Gas+Grill - $349)
    ---------------------------------
    508

    This when compared to Amazon Gift Cards is a bad deal by 508 points, or in more understandable terms 508 / 220 = 2.30909091 pizzas.

    The price on this grill is too high by approximately 18.5 slices of pizza plus $1 since it's $349 on Amazon.

    173, looking out for the common poster. Out.

    stevek you will find that almost every item is either fairly priced or overpriced vs the target/walmart/amazon gift cards

    you could spend 10 hours on this and still find that to be true since they jacked up the ipad price

    the exceptions are pizza, 5guys burgers $40, and vividseats credit on the rare occassions they have it

    And from a business model stand point that makes sense. What's easier for SBR, shipping direct or having Amazon do it, or having you pick it up in Target, Lowes etc.?

    So far the only thing I strongly disagree is the long stem roses that are priced as if they are filled with diamonds but I will get to those later.

    I noticed but who the fok gives anything but Red to their significant other? I dropped a C Note on my fiancee's birthday on roses and that still didn't sniff how expensive those are.

    I think that is new K13 nto sure though since I'm in the states man.
