What is its retail value?

MicroBob · #3 09-03-2005, 04:29 PM

if it's the WHOLE package than I think it's $9k right??

$5200 for the main-event (Sept 24 - Oct 2 in aruba) plus the extra stuff for the hotel-stay and the flight, etc.

Plus there is also a pre-mainevent freeroll event for some of the players where 1st place gets to 'play like a pro' which means he gets entered in 4 big events (2006 WSOP main-event, Bellagio 5-diamond perhaps, Aruba, and one other one that I can't remember)

UB also has tourneys for just $5200 main-event entry and you'r eon your own for hotel and flight costs.
But since the OP said Aruba 'package' I'm assuming he's referring to the whole $9000 deal.

I thought I saw something on the UB site about not being able to sell your extra Aruba packages after Sept 1. didn't really look at it too closely though since it doesn't apply to me (unfortunately)

It is the whole package. I didn't see the notice about being unable to sell.

The trip itself is 8 days for 2 people. Plus the event, freeroll, etc.

I'll open bidding at $2000 (I have no idea what package is worth)

Its a well guarded secret, I don't fault you for not knowing...

From the UB web site:

$9,000 prize packages are a MUST PLAY.
Prize packages have no cash value and are non-refundable. First prize package wins are a ‘must play.”

Is this your second package win?

Maybe more than one site offers a package? I dunno.

so you won 2 packages and are trying to sell the other one after Sept 1?

or you won one package and didn't realize that you are not allowed to sell it.

UB did recently change their policy to allow people to win more than package (previously, they were limiting you to one prize package per person). So, the OP would need to have won his 2nd package to be able to sell one.

I don't know anything about the sept 1. deadline or if they are flexible with it, and due to their recent change in how you earn points, I am done with UB, except for maybe trying to qualify for the aruba tournament again next year (I made it last year and it was great, didn't have the chance to try this year though).
