Re: [AGA-mcm] Re: No more APHB

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

Here's what we said in the past,quoted below.

Sales had slowed down since we first got the books.

We never decided to buy more. I believe we thought what we
had would last a while and we didn't need to decide soon.


Scott,

Sorry, I didn't get back to you sooner, but I finally got
the info I needed.

No, you're not deficient.  I think that your calculations
are correct.
However, all the prices are in Singapore dollars.

At today's exchange rate (1S$ = 0.599 US$), books are
$10.78 each.  $S300 is
$179.70 US$.

Buying fifteen books would then cost:  $10.78 plus $11.98
or about $23 for
each book

Buying thirty books would cost: $10.78 plus $5.99 or about
$17 each for each
book.

Buying 60 books would cost $10.78/bk plus $5/bk shipping.

***************
We're selling them for $25 members and $30 nonmembers. So
unless we buy 
30+, we won't break even. So maybe 30 is the number.

Cheryl

hmm...or maybe "zero" is the number...

Here is a breakdown of online sales of the book.  These
numbers are 
approximate and don't include payments by check and seem to
just be "off" 
by 10% or so to begin with....

2003-03 21
2003-04 11      (cumulative 32 - 1/4 total sales in first 2
months)
2003-05 8
2003-06 6
2003-07 2
2003-08 3
2003-09 7
2003-10 3
2003-11 3
2003-12 3       (cumulative 66 -- half our total sales in
first 10 months)
2004-01 8
2004-02 6
2004-03 6
2004-04 7
2004-05 6
2004-06 2
2004-07 2
2004-08 3
2004-09 3
2004-10 1
2004-11 1
2004-12 2       we sold not quite 50 copies in 2004
2005-01 4
2005-02 2
2005-03 2
2005-04 0
2005-05 2
2005-06 0        (we've sold only 10 copies this year so
far...)
total   124

It might take us another 2-3 years to sell another 30.
