Do they really think this will sell?

While browsing the Kindle store, I stumbled across a book titled How to sell your products in Japan for free . A review says, "An excellent starter for those who dont have the money or the know-how to enter the Japanese market the traditional way."

The price? $2,720.76 -- but if you order through the publisher's web site, they'll take $5.00 off the price! http://www.amazon.com/sell-your-prod...387421&sr=1-17

LOL! Can I borrow your copy after you finish? I enjoy a good fantasy tale from time to time!

Wow...
I can't believe anyone would buy this. I just looked at the file size and its only 45kb, for two grand I would expect them to at least sell you a heftier file. Wow...

wait, wait, you're *paying* a trillion dollars to try to sell your stuff in Japan for FREE? Uh, why don't you just ship the stuff there for free and save yourself a lot of money?

I love stories like this!

DO NOT BUY THAT BOOK. IT IS OVERPRICED.

That'll be $2,720.76 please Zelda, payment accepted in Euros, GBP or Dollars.

I gave it a 5 star rating, but stopped short of sending in my very funny review of the book. Amazon has sort of scared me straight, with its draconian Kindle rules and stuff.

You should have gone for it, Dixie. You don't even have a Kindle.

It's amazing how stupid they think the buying public is. I would love to know if they actually sell any copies.

Who, me? Complain?

I love a good deal as much as the next girl, but $5?!? That's chump change. Where's the 30% off coupon and the discount of an additional 15% off if you use your Amazon credit card. Oh and they'll send Jeff B. to your house to download the file for you and read it to you, too, highlighting all the pertinent information and teaching you Japanese at the same time.

Now THAT'S a deal!!
