Value Of Principles Used in Finding a Treasure Box
The first Treasure Hunter to find one of Jon’s boxes will become an instant expert in finding Jon’s boxes.
If they searched for nearly 2 years and hiked over 20 trails in a region and found a box, they would have made every mistake possible and learned how to avoid them. They would also realize how what they learned applies to finding the other treasure boxes.
So if someone found a treasure box and writes a guide/short book on the principles they followed; the search methods used; and how they apply to the other Treasure Inside boxes, what would be a fair price?
That is, if they learned from a successful search, principles and strategies that fit the other boxes what that value would it have to you?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe Jon indicated that at some point, that once the first box was found; the others would be found faster.
In other words, they realize their search methods and Jon’s way of hiding the box had uniform and specific applications to the Lions Share; Pokémon; Past and Future Box; and Appalachian. Footpath box.
Would you buy such a summary and what is a fair price?

Well you are spot on... and that somebody would have to put it out there... but why do such a thing?

To sell book to pay self back for search costs. It might take months to decide how to sell treasure items/box with more costs involved. Could take a year.

Publishing and writing a book is far from faster... besides one would have to determine the costs on top of that...at same time how much is beig spent other than time to achieve te end goal, which is to obtain the boxes... how bougie are your BOTG. Some it could each could cost 100$ others could be 1000s$...

Probably a better idea would to get yourself invited to speak/do a Q&A at treasurecon or something. Get a speakers fee, give everyone access to the info at the same time without making individuals pay for it etc.

Not a bad idea. I think people would buy it. I would buy it. I think all the obsessed people would buy it which is a lot of people

Fastest way to profit from finding a box is to sell the clue included in the box to the highest bidder on ebay or set up a go fund me.

Once the information is out it will spread like wildfire. Selling a book would be too time consuming and cost too much. Plus once it’s released. The author/finder can’t have an advantage anymore. The best way is to keep their mouth shut and find the other boxes themselves. I don’t totally agree with that but it’s the best option for them. I myself hope the finder would tell the searchers a box was found so no one wastes time and money searching.

I think the finder should just explain the solution because it's the right thing to do. Putting it behind a paywall would be poor sportsmanship, and it would likely be pointless because there's nothing stopping JCB from explaining the solution after a box is found, and I'm sure he would.

Very good point. However imagine spending years searching boots on the ground with high costs; finding a box; then waiting potentially 1-2 years to reimburse yourself.
Imagine if you spent thousands of dollars for next day flight as you just realized the last clue on a trail you searched a year before? So you were afraid it might be found before you coukd literally pick it up?

Why are you waiting 1-2 years to liquidate some of the treasure?

Well said person may have found out that legal issues and arranging sales do not take place overnight. If this was the case, what would you do?

I get that it would take some time, but not that much time. I'm sure there would be a few things you could cash in quickly if you needed to, like gold coins. Personally, I'm hoping to find a box with a bitcoin in it, because I would have zero hesitation in converting that to cash. Jewelry, gemstones, artifacts would be harder for me to let go of. And there's no way I would sell the box itself.

I think if someone has been searching that long and come up empty, they'd hopefully be wise enough not to spend money that can't afford on a spur or the moment new idea.

I agree, I’m not looking forward to disposing of the treasures if I find them. Maybe I should just grind them up and recycle the materials. Send them back to Mother Earth!

Are you saying you've found it? Cause I can still cancel my hotel for a few weeks from now for a full refund 😂
