No matter how beautiful and loved a cover may be, the jury on it remains uncommitted until the book has been in the world for a while. Perhaps bookstore buyers will be indifferent. Perhaps it will be lost on store shelves. Perhaps there's another book or two out there using the same or a similar photo.

Music companies and buyers are not too encouraging towards independent musicians. Everyone wants to play safe and go with established names, but unless one breaks this routine, no new talent will come and survive.

Bigger spreads mean bigger gaps between what buyers pay and sellers receive. For example, a spread of 10 cents a share means that the buyer pays $100 more for 1,000 shares than the seller receives.

The lower spreads mean lower costs for investors, because Nasdaq investors generally do not trade directly with one another. Instead, they usually buy and sell from market-makers, brokerage firms that flip shares between buyers and sellers and keep the spread for themselves.

Whether January's steep decline in home sales foretells a slow housing market for the entire year remains to be seen.

What this does is it keeps buyers away. It's a lack of buyers. And they would prefer some certainty.

Luxury Auto sites seemed to have mastered the delivery of complex Web pages with a strong visual component to broadband users. However, it is quite surprising that a number of leading luxury automakers are having significant site downtime. Luxury auto buyers become easily frustrated with such poor site performance, and can quickly turn to a competitor site to continue their browsing and purchase consideration process.

License buyers have asked for - and we attempted to provide - more advance notice of season dates to help them select their vacation days. However, since deer harvest data will not be available until mid-March and bear and wild turkey harvest results were just made available, the Board and staff concluded more time was needed before taking final action on the 2006-07 seasons and bag limits.

Many people who buy at the Trump International Hotel & Tower Las Vegas are second-home buyers. This type of purchase is ideal for them because they can purchase a unit, use it as they please and rent if out when they're not using it. The buyers are able to enjoy all of the amenities and services Trump has to offer without anything to worry about.

Seventy-one percent of home buyers start their search on the Internet.

Second-home buyers should go into this with their eyes very wide open.

Since the launch of Scion three years ago, designers have learned a great deal about what inspires and motivates Scion buyers through its unique vehicle lineup and instilled them into the FUSE.

Since Hurricane Katrina in early September, we have observed buyers taking longer to make their purchasing decision.

Median home prices within the district are high for a rural community, reflecting the district's attractiveness to buyers of second homes and telecommuters. Residents of the largest town also have access to job centers in the Fresno region, albeit via a one-hour drive to the south. Separately, the district recently lost about a third of its students and will lose about a third of its tax base in fiscal 2007 due to an annexation vote that removed a portion of the district's far southwest territory. This has been incorporated into the rating and we expect continued property turnover and new construction will translate into a growing property tax base within the school's new boundaries.

Cash buyers carry more leverage when it comes to negotiating a deal.

Car buying today is more than being outside in a parking lot, surrounded by a sea of cars. There's a certain upscale experience that manufacturers want the buyers to have.

Car buying is influenced by consumer confidence. And confidence varies month to month but on a trend basis, it is down a lot in the last year, year-and-a-half.

Business-to-government companies target fewer buyers that have enormous purchasing power and more dependable shopping lists,

I feel that our Tucson market is healthy, and will remain so for both buyers and sellers.

For years, we've been advising buyers that greener models are available to them no matter what type of vehicle they're shopping for. Today, with a bona fide gas-powered SUV on our Greenest Vehicles list, this advice rings truer than ever,

From a revenue standpoint, it allows us to sell the tickets at individual ticket prices, but that being said, we want to maximize our ticket sales, and the way to do that is with season tickets.

From that experience, I can promise you that the likelihood of a sale to qualified buyers who want to keep the team where it is, is hugely impacted by how few liabilities, long-term, are on the books. I know it's tempting to play fantasy hockey and say this player or that player would certainly add to the value of the franchise.

For several years now, search engine marketing and optimization has dominated online marketing, and this data shows why: it's far more effective at converting visitors into buyers than most other acquisition sources taken as a whole. But as this data also shows, the best conversion rate still comes from good old fashioned branding and customer loyalty, where visitors either bookmark your site or type your URL directly into the address bar.

With more buyers than sellers nationally, what we're seeing is a natural pressure on home prices as buyers compete to bid on available properties.

Today, as bond buyers search in this period of very low interest rates and tight credit spreads for every additional basis point of yield they can find, market participants seem to be ignoring the lessons that were learned in prior bust periods, ... By ignoring those hard learned and expensive lessons, such investors are sowing the seeds of future defaults.

What you have to look at is what has been occurring in the foreign exchange markets. They (Bank of Japan) were rumored to be significant buyers on Friday and Monday, the (Treasury) market was bid up on Friday and Monday, so there's a very big risk that they've already put that money to work.
