how much would you pay for an LSAT point?

[Candide]

Seems like we haven't had one of these pointless hypothetical topics in a while, so here goes:

One of the LSAC techies gets tired of his $40,000K job and all the sudden decides to try his entrepreneurial hand (kind of like Green).  He's selling LSAT points, at the rock-bottom price of $1,000 a point.  If you buy any, how many do you buy?  If his prices went up, what's the highest you would pay him for a point?

Please don't respond with moral objections, or concerns about getting caught.

edit: ...or test prep company trolling.

I'd probably go ahead and buy my 3 more points for up to $5000, but only as long as I'd get to say that I earned a 180.

2, but if the price went up then zero.

So you'd pay $2000 for 2 points, but not $2020 for 2?

i mean i didnt consider that the price might inflate in 10 cent increments

ok, 2200 for two would be my outside limit, and if it were more than that, zero

Hey!  I used $10 increments!  Although I could have made the same jerk point with 10 cents.

You earned the money that you bought the points with, so you earned the 180.  This rule doesn't apply to people with pre-bought-point scores of less than 175.

I have absolutely zero scruples, so I would buy as many as I could, even if I had to resort to robbing a bank.  So who do I hook up with?

Ooh, I like hypotheticals like this!

I'd take at least four, because then I'd be at my average diagnostic score.  Does it matter that I don't have $4K right now?  Could I borrow money from someone?  If I had a job right now, I'd probably take 6 points.  That could easily make a difference in where I go to school and what merit scholarships I get, so it could totally pay for itself in just a year (in the case of scholarships) or 4-5 years (if I got into a higher ranked school and as a result got a higher paying job after graduation).

Everything is an investment.  That's why it's okay to pay $1250 for a prep class.

I'd buy 3 points for up to $5,000. I wouldn't buy anymore points than 3. 3 would be enough to give me a pretty good lock on UT and I don't have much desire to go to any higher ranked schools.
