A number of weeks ago I offered to tabulate the price that was paid for the
Book of Norman. I had only 14 respondents. Some were guessing on the price
and others included a final price with tax and shipping, but no breakdown.
Regardless, here are the results:
Six people responded that they had paid $58 which I believe to be the
original asking price.
Three people stated they each paid $55, $60 and $70 respectively. This
probably equates to the $58 plus some form of shipping, tax or a rough guess
estimate.
One person stated they believe they paid $25.
One person said they paid $48, but they had giving information to the author
and were discounted for that.
On the higher end two people replied with $200 and $400 payments.
Lastly, one respondent stated that the Book of Norman cost them $45,857.73.
Any guesses???
So, there you have it. Not much of a poll. Well we tried. And..., no
thanks I'd rather not do it twice (too much going on).
Closing thoughts: Frankly I can think of no other investment I have ever
made (including real estate) that on a percentage basis has appreciated more
than the $310 I paid for my Book of Norman. More so, even in bad times it
is still in demand and doesn't require a broker to sell.
Thanks to all who participated.
Regards, Tom
