Either way, chances are you get a pile of cards you don't want.

Similar concept, although we can debate whether there are some important differences. To my mind, at least the manufacturer is creating something, whereas the re-packer is merely packaging up much-maligned detritus, and salting it with a handful of desirable pieces to get people to buy into the scheme.
Both players are looking to charge more for the product than it cost them to produce it. There's a gambling element to both, as most buyers will get less value than they paid. I suppose there's also a question of how well distributed the winners are, and whether either the repacker or the manufacturer are somehow manipulating who gets the wins, thereby leaving the average buyer with very long odds of getting anything good.
So lots of similarities. But it still feels different to me, although maybe they shouldn't seem quite so different?
