The estimated retail price shown next to any listed item represents the first-hand prices we've seen elsewhere, or the estimated original retail price of a comparable item of the same quality, construction and material offered elsewhere in new condition.
Cunningly Machiavellian business strategy satire.
If you're tickled by the idea of flipping traditional business ethics on its head, Stanley Bing's guide is a delightfully wicked twist on the quest for success. As an online thrift connoisseur, you'll appreciate the tongue-in-cheek homage to Machiavelli's ruthlessness translated into modern corporate maneuvers. It's a light read, packed with humor and shrewdness that might just give you an edge—or at least a good chuckle.
