Good luck with the sale Notes, did you ever think of doing a Norton Everything Sale, maybe with a yearly upgrade to cover any new disks that you do, at a price that would be considered fair to both you and the customer.
Might be an idea for you to ponder over.

I was thinking that, too. A Norton Omnipak.
I know I would never use 99% of it, but just to consider: how much for everything you offer?

Thanks for the omnipack suggestions.
I tried that years ago, it didn't sell well. Every time I added new products, I'd add them to the omnipack and adjust the price. The savings were quite large, but the sales were miniscule. Eventually I dropped it.
I decided to put this fake e-disk on sale because a few people mentioned it was quite expensive. It is. At the sale price I don't make much after paying the subcontractor who entered chords and chose the styles, the credit-card/PayPal fees, shopping cart, and bank, but I do get to keep some.
It seems like everything here in the USA and possibly elsewhere is getting more expensive, so I thought this would be a good thing to help others and help myself at the same time.
If it goes well, I might do it again for another product.

Bob didn't mention it this time, but here's the correct version of The Ultimate Broadway Fake Book that the songs come from. I had to order my copy from Amazon in the U.S., since it wasn't available here in France. I ordered it on the 28th of August. It's scheduled for delivery tomorrow. The Ultimate Rock Pop Fake Book for Bob's newest collection (Fake Disc #52) is a beast at 500 songs. The Broadway fake book for over 820 songs will probably be bigger than the Hulk. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0793582598?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
