If you're an ANA member you get a discount if you purchase it in their Money Market catalog or through the ANAs web site. $32.95 is the members discount price.
Sounds like the ANA is looking to make a profit off it's members. I can buy the book from Barnes & Noble for $28.76.
You don't have to leave your desk. You can order it online from Barnes & Noble. BTW, that price includes free shipping.
The ANA only wants to make a profit, from anyone. Hopefully the new Board will be better to its members. The current ones stink.
Agreed. So much for the "non-profit organization" hype, huh? I don't know who's in line for the jobs, but if it's just more big-time coin dealers, then I won't get my hopes up.
Jody: I don't know about the dealer status of the candidates, but the President & VP are unopposed, and they are simply Board members from the last group. They have to get rid of Horton & his bad rug along with Cippoletti, who apparently thinks that he is some kind of god like personage. His attitude sucks. Remember this is the Board that removed a Board member last year when he had the nerve to respind to a member's e-mail, without their permission. He was accused of violating the 'code of silence' or what ever they call it now. In addition, Cippoletti makes everyone (all candidates & local volunteers) sign an oath of silence-- that is contrary to the by-laws of the ANA. They all have to go before I will re-join.
I don't think I would call Barry Stuppler, "simply a board member". LOL He's one of the "Top Dogs" in the rare coins/precious metals industry. Into it neck deep with Hall, Salzberg and company. I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him. JMHO, of course
Sorry, I agree with you, of course, and the rest of the bunch. It is that I am just fed up with the secrecy that Horton & Cippoletti have thrown over the ANA-- and the fact that anyone who disagrees with them is tossed off the Board. They have become a group of insiders with little or no input from the membership. As a 501(c)3 not-for-profit they should have to post their financial statements and tax return, but try to find it.
Jody: How about the fact that Cipoletti is getting over $250K per year and you can't find it unless you get to page #23 of the tax return, with no notations in the financial statements, and then it is buried under Program Services, Management & General and Fundraising.
I understand, and I agree. All paid staff should have their saleries easily disclosed to the public. I think it's hilarious that this organization claims to represent a hobby, when in fact, it clearly represents the interests of it's elite governing body, and their associates.
Hot diggity, a quarter million a year? I think I'll need to start organizing my campaign to get his job, lol!
Go get your law degree first Peter - that's the only reason he got the job to begin with, he's a lawyer.
