I'll take that as a serious question.

A repack is when people gather up single cards they don't want. They package them in something opaque, typically a bubble mailer or something similar. They'll tell prospective buyers that they have a chance to pull [name of popular card(s)] from the repack product. Then buyers will purchase these mystery packs, hoping to pull something much more valuable than the amount of money they spent. They usually won't; however, there's a gambling aspect of this that keeps the marks customers lining up to buy more.
