Bullets in Cash or Points? Riggs

Buying bullets using points at present time is 4.5x the exchange rate for buying bullets in cash from a factory based on an average cost of $200 per bullet.

It would cost a current average of $450,000 to buy the 10 points needed to purchase 500 bullets from the points page.
It would cost a current average of $100,000 to buy 500 bullets from a bullet factory based on an average cost of $200 per bullet.

Current average "point price" per point x 10 = "difference".
Current average "cash price" per bullet x 500 = "difference".

$45,000pp x 10 = $450,000
$200pb x 500b = $100,000

    Overall:
  • 4.5x profit buying bullets with cash in comparison to points.
  • Any bullet factory selling bullets under $900 is more profitable than buying with points.


(Based on average bullet ($200pb) and point prices ($45,000pp) in current time.)
