If you bought this book....

Published 9 June 5 3:42 PM | William
My friend Jason showed tipped me off to this...   Either it's a typo or someone is smoking crack.  If you bought this, I have a TON of other books I'd be happy to sell you for $2,000.  I bought Bill Vaughn's  killer  Reporting Services Book a while ago and it was a mere fraction of the price.  Sure, he left out stuff like the impact of Reporting Services in the market place b/c he was too busy proving useful content, but I still don't get the pricing discrepancy.

Probobly not a typo, IDC has a bunch of other docs for over 500, upto 4.5k

I'll take two copies and I'll pass on the crack.

Please provide me with a list of any books in the $2000-$2999 range that covers Access 97 or VB 4.0 (I'm looking to upgrade some servers soon).

I'm selling a Windows 3.11 Workgroup manual for $2550 if anyone is interested. It's in reasonable condition, but is missing the back cover and the index (torn off in some lawn mower incident or something), has some Jack Daniels spilled on some of the pages in chapter 3 . . .

Every time you call him the lower cased one, I burst out in laughter. That's classic.

Ok, you can have all of my Access 97 books (0) and all of my VB4 books (0) for 2k each. I don't have any but I think my mom has some in the cellar which scares off scarry critterz and unfortunately attracts many other ones.

2k for an ebook. I'm SOOOOOOOOOO in the wrong line of work.

What no customer reviews? Well scratch that I'm not going to buy it then.

Yeah, for some intense market analysis documents the going rate can seem insane to people like us. Look up documents relating to market analysis for broadband. Large customers like Verizon have no problems spending the money for data and analysis that can lead to increased profit. It costs far more wasting time/money in bad markets.

The thing I find curious - if the content is what I think it is - is the fact that this document is on Amazon.

I notice there are only 13 pages. It's not so bad if you think of paying only $153 a page.

Scott - if anyone wants to buy my stuff for $153.00 - I'm all about it. I bet Charles Carroll doesn't even command rates like that.
