Quoted from Snailman:Good question.
I'm estimating that the tourney net revenues (after deducting cash payouts, and a generous assumption that the 57?? trophies cost $1,000), was approx $20,000.
Subtract the tax and shipping costs of the NIB Sterns, the show sells them at cost (which is contingent to whatever deal they've worked out with Fun!, I'd assume) and pays the sales tax and shipping costs for the buyers in exchange for allowing them to sit in the tournament area during the show.
