Sounds good. I've pre-ordered mine.
Question about price changes -- With the slack economy creating downward pressure on chip prices, have you (the 3 authors, collectively) made significant adjustments overall? That is, assuming the economy gets back on track sometime soon, would we be able to track a dip in prices between TCR-12 and TCR-13, and a commensurate recovery (if chip prices firm up with a better economy), between TCR-13 and TCR-14?
Also, if you have specific sales data to reflect a price change (up or down) for a chip, do you similarly adjust prices for its "related" class of chips, even if you don't have data for all chips in that class? As examples, suppose you have data that shows an upward trend in chips with building pics on the inlay. Let's say you can track 5 such chips with increases averaging 5%. Would you increase other building-inlay chips by similar amounts, even if you don't have specific sales data on the others? This could apply to dovetail and pie chips, which seem to be more popular lately, or to most LE's, which have decreased in popularity/value lately?
Just trying to understand the rationale you'd use to change prices, either up or down. Not being critical at all. It's quite a task to review and set value ranges for so many chips, particularly the rarer ones that don't come up too often.
