ADDENDUM: If the price hasn't been lowered the first time that you check after making the request, keep trying.

I posted Google's lower price for Seabiscuit a short time ago at Amazon. We'll see if they lower theirs. Usually they do.

The #1 Seller at Amazon in Caribbean Travel. Marked Down Now to 99 Cents!

That's 80% from the digital list price.

This is the second edition.

The Coconut Chronicles: Two Guys, One Caribbean Dream House. Rated 4.6 stars, from 49 reviews at the present moment. Print list price $15.55; digital list(?) price $4.99; Kindle price now $0.99. Ant Press, publisher. 286 pages. http://www.amazon.com/Coconut-Chroni...nut+chronicles.

Book Description
When Patrick and Michael buy a rambling, dilapidated house on Vieques Island off Puerto Rico, they can hardly believe their luck—or how much work lies ahead of them.

Renovating their little corner of paradise proves to be a crash course in how Vieques works—and how it doesn’t. Very few projects go according to plan, and many veer alarmingly off course.

Along the way they learn a number of unforgettable lessons: concrete houses can have termites; five-foot iguanas aren’t necessarily more afraid of you than you are of them; emergency rooms don’t always stock medical supplies; and a property manager who paints your house orange instead of yellow may resign in a huff when you point out his little boo-boo.

The Coconut Chronicles is a lighthearted account of Patrick’s and Michael’s battle to create order out of chaos in the tropics.

It's sad to see once-multimillion dollar racehorses get to where they're worth almost nothing like that.

I don't think they are selling the horse but a book about the horse.
Now I think you can still buy a descendant of Secretariat but it will cost you more than $3.
Agreeing with you on the values though.

hahahahah

I'm just glad to see Amazon trying to sell him so maybe he can avoid the glue factory. ha

I think that you're right about Secretariat having a descendant in the racing business. If I'm not mistaken he was in the last Kentucky Derby/Belmont thingie/Preakness thingie. Maybe it was the one before last. I'm not sure.

Fortune's Children: The Fall of the House of Vanderbilt by Arthur Vanderbilt
http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00BKZGOIQ

The blurb:
Vanderbilt: the very name signifies wealth. The family patriarch, "the Commodore," built up a fortune that made him the world's richest man by 1877. Yet, less than fifty years after the Commodore's death, one of his direct descendants died penniless, and no Vanderbilt was counted among the world's richest people. Fortune's Children tells the dramatic story of all the amazingly colorful spenders who dissipated such a vast inheritance.

If I remember right, I think they milked (for lack of a better word) Secretariat before he died and froze the sperm (my tablet auto corrected to supermarket) to sell later.

I've noticed that the 1.99 pound and $1.99 Canadian dollar books that are for sale in the U.S. have been $1.99 here. Apparently the exchange rate for all three is close to being equal. I wonder how often that's been the case.

BTW--there's a great currency converter at xe.com, if you ever need one.
