For a while now, a lot of people have been asking me how much it costs to buy a house. I’ve had a hard time answering this question and I have to admit that a lot of people are confused as to the true minimum advertised price.
Minimum advertised price is the price that the listing agent has listed your home for when the sale becomes final. That has nothing to do with how much the property is actually worth. If your property is listed with a realtor who has an established relationship with the seller, then you may not be able to find out the true value. In the meantime, I can guarantee you that you will likely get a price that is far less than the minimum advertised price.
The good news is that this website is actually the best-selling online book I’ve ever read that deals with the basics of the market. I’ve seen it sell more than anything else in the world and I’ve personally read it numerous times without having to read any of the other reviews.
Although the website only lists the minimum advertised prices, it does provide the list of booksellers for each publisher that sells the same book. So you can actually find out the true value of your book just by looking at those sites. If you get a price that is far less than the minimum advertised price, you are probably not getting a fair price, and if you don’t realize that, you might be getting ripped off.
The real problem with Amazon is that it is completely out of control. From bookstores selling copies of your book to e-bay selling them for far less than the minimum advertised price to all of the other sites that are selling the same book, Amazon’s algorithms are almost impossible to control.
It is not all that hard to imagine that Amazon would be used to sell your book. With hundreds of thousands of items posted each day on Amazon, it would be easy to guess which items would sell in which sales cycle. And they would do it so quickly. I doubt Amazon is using their algorithms to make sure that a certain book is cheaper than a given price on the second day of the sale.
And the only way of doing this is by posting prices to the book Amazon uses to make guesses about the sales cycle in the first place. There is no way for Amazon to know the difference between the second day of a specific sale and the first. As such, Amazon can’t possibly know that the book is more expensive than a given price on the second day, and so Amazon can’t possibly know why someone is paying more for it on the first day.
Amazon, in its infinite wisdom, simply makes up the prices they think book are priced on the first day, and then goes ahead and publishes them to the second day of the sale. This is the same as saying that book is cheaper on the first day than on the second day.
If Amazon knows that the book is more expensive on the first day, they should just go ahead and publish it. There isnt much difference between it and the sales price, so the book isnt going to make much sense. The reason the book is being published to the first day of the sale is because someone has bought it on Amazon.com, and Amazon doesn’t know who that is.
Amazon knows that the book is cheaper on the second day than any other day of the sale because someone has bought it on Amazon.com. If the book is being published on the second day, Amazon could have simply said “that book is the cheapest on the second day of the sale.
