[flyingpylon]

Tim Ferriss (author of The 4-Hour Workweek) is giving away 3 Indy 500 VIP packages to people that buy 1,000 copies of his new book The 4-Hour Body at $16 each.

You'll get:

- Ticket to the Indy 500 with VIP access to the race team pit area, hospitality suite, lap around the track in pace car, driver autographs, signed hats and shirts, etc. Roundtrip economy airfare included. (Priceless)
- Limited edition wine (1 bottle), signed by founders of Twitter (Priceless)
- 1-hour group Q&A conference call with Tim (Priceless)
- 1-year of �Performance Menu Journal’ Magazine ($360)
- Digital copy of �The 4-Hour Workweek’ ($20)
- Slow-Carb Cookbook ($20)

Total value: Priceless (for $16,000 of books)

4-Hour Body Giveaway

However, if in these tough economic times you'd feel better about spending half of that amount ($8,000), I can offer you this:

- Ticket to the Indy 500 with VIP access to the Turn 3 infield. 14x14x14 cooler filled with your favorite beverages PLUS a box lunch. Lap around the track in my car on Community Day. Autographed items (not saying what or by whom). Roundtrip economy airfare (what the heck).

- Unlimited Andretti Whine.

- 1-hour group conference call Q&A with the founder of IndyCar Buzz.

- 1 year of back issues for IndyCar magazine.

- Digital copy of the public domain classic 500 Miles to Go.

- 1 copy of the Pork Tenderloin Cookbook.

- No need to store or distribute 1,000 copies of some book.

Total value: Also Priceless!

At least the giveaway is for something cool like the Indy 500 and not that other big 500-mile race! Kudos for that I suppose.

I enter sweepstakes, as you know. There are always a lot of sweeps for vacation packages. Las Vegas, New York, Los Angeles, etc. Usualy they run from $2,000 to $5,000. But, when there is a sweeps for the Super Bowl, things get out of hand. The prize values go to $10,000 to $20,000.

You forgot to mention accommodations and transport to and from the track. Those should be included in your reasonably fair asking price of 8k, imho of course.
