List of Best Value for Poker Stars FPP Options
I made a spreadsheet and computed the value of FPPs when used for the various FPP store items. In descending order, following are the best value items:
ITEM - POINTS - FPP Value Aston Martin - 5000000 - $0.024 Porsche - 3000000 - $0.020 Travel 2500 - 145000 - $0.017 WSOP ME PKG - 700000 - $0.017 WPT-PCA - 700000 - $0.017 Travel 1000 - 60000 - $0.017 STT w/ Pro - 15000 - $0.017 EPT Monte Carlo - 1000000 - $0.016 WCOOP 2600 - 160000 - $0.016 WCOOP 5200 - 320000 - $0.016 Sunday $1050 - 65000 - $0.016 WCOOP 1050 - 65000 - $0.016 WSOP 1000 - 62000 - $0.016 WSOP 1500 - 93000 - $0.016 WSOP 2000 - 124000 - $0.016 WSOP 2500 - 155000 - $0.016 WSOP 5000 - 310000 - $0.016 NeimanMarcus 1000 - 62000 - $0.016 Sunday $530 - 33000 - $0.016 WCOOP 530 - 33000 - $0.016 WCOOP 320 - 20000 - $0.016 Sunday $215 - 13500 - $0.016 WCOOP 215 - 13500 - $0.016 Toshiba DVD/HDR - 20000 - $0.016 Bose Sounddock - 19000 - $0.016 Toshiba SD-P1850 - 12000 - $0.016 Toshiba HD-A1 HDDVD - 25000 - $0.015 $1,500 - 100000 - $0.015 Canon Rebel - 48000 - $0.014 Sharp 26" LCD - 59000 - $0.014 iPod Nano - 17000 - $0.014 Toshiba 50" Plasma - 160000 - $0.014 $650 - 50000 - $0.013 Apple 80GB Video - 26000 - $0.013 Samsung 24" Monitor - 68000 - $0.013 Samsung 32" LCD - 90000 - $0.013 Sony 40" LCD - 132000 - $0.013 Toshiba PS DVD Recorder - 10000 - $0.012 Apple 30GB - 20000 - $0.012 $285 - 25000 - $0.011 Canon PS SD630 - 24000 - $0.011 Canon A540 - 17000 - $0.010 Samsung 20" LCD - 36000 - $0.010 For electronics, I used the price listed on Amazon. This can vary from the MSRP. So, it looks like the $1500 is better than buying most electronics at Amazon prices.

Re: List of Best Value for Poker Stars FPP Options
Has anyone ever tried writing an email like this:
"So I worked out the math for your concierge items and it is basically 180,000 FPPs for a $3000 item, which comes out to about 1.7 cents per FPP. With most items in your store, I assume that you get a bulk discount, which is why you are able to offer those items at a greater bargain price than the straight cash you offer. However, you obviously won't be getting a bulk discount when you go purchase my one item, so could you just pay me in cash? Thanks"

Seriously though, they've made it very clear that this is a no go. They'll buy you a car, but no car payments. they'll probably buy you a house, but no rent payments, etc, etc.

I mean, if its truly not costing them any more then why not?
