Hmmmm....might even lead to more knowledgable aspirants. Not that that was the focus of this thread.

I mean, it IS kinda funny to me that my (then) 20 dollar history book was available on ebay and other websites for 85 bucks -- and even now, as our history books are about 30 bucks for members, I see THE SAME EDITIONS on ebay for 180!

Crazy....

That is what I was thinking...about the orgs making money off of the books.

Plus aspirants can purchase books from whichever org or all of them, before thay decide to express interest and/or try to flip flop between all orgs.

Also, I wonder if aspirants are spending $150 for $20 books.
