[Pct] Odd Amazon pricing for second edition of my PCT Forms and Docketing book

[Gerry J. Elman]

Looks like she is a target of a BRUSHING scam.  (Same thing happened to my wife earlier this year.)

The weird thing is that the perpetrators set up fake carge cards, so the recipient of deliveries aren't charged for the producte they are delivered.  Reports are that the perpetrators leverage the deliveries into fake 5-star product ratings.

Perhaps a similar odd Amazon pricing explains this

As best I can see, I could turn quite a profit even if I merely discarded the books upon receipt.  :)

Hello listserv members.  I just released the second edition of Oppedahl on PCT Forms and PCT Docketing.  Like the original edition, it is priced at $89 and I earn a royalty of about $48 per book.  But what I don’t understand is that Amazon has placed this book on sale for about $21.  Yes, it looks like if you order this book right now, you will only have to pay about $21 to Amazon, and they will pay me about $48, and you will receive a copy of this book.  I am baffled by Amazon’s pricing decision.  See https://blog.oppedahl.com/odd-amazon-pricing-for-second-edition-of-my-pct-forms-and-docketing-book/ .
