This sounds more like an algorithm to maximize your benefit from the $15k you spent.

As opposed to a "money making business".

(Still very cool though).

Curious: at what volume would you consider an individual buying products in bulk and then reselling them individually to be a side business?

Fair point, and thanks :)

The way I think of it is more of taking advantage of an arbitrage (~20% discount on season tickets to face value). Instead of selling all the tickets to earn ~$2k each year, we kept and used the tickets to our benefit.
