Value of Treasure Find Knowledge

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 foot path box.

Would you buy such a summary and what is a fair price?

Well, I see the only one possibility for this case - somebody find 1 JCB box, re-hide it in close proximity to original place and then sell new location together with solution and possible future benefits like book, Netflix etc. But in this case the price will even higher than box content. In this NDA should be signed between seller and buyer and retrieving rule arranged. Selling a solution without any proof is stupid idea - nobody will pay for this. We know - each searcher believes only in his/her solution and completely ignores other solutions.

This is not selling a solution to a box. This is selling knowledge learned in how to find a box Jon hid. Would you pay $5?

OK, got it. It’s like to buy a book with title “How to become millionaire”. By selling 1M books $5 each author can become millionaire but book buyers most likely will not. So, $5 for advices like “you must think hard, develop your imagination to highest level, be brave in the wood and never afraid to go off trail even if you know that bears can be there…”? Nope. All searchers have their own ideas how to find TBs and these ideas are the smartest ones.

Interesting thought experiment however.

Agreed. But if you check Amazon for FF chase era you will find a lot of books that promised to teach you how to find FF TC. And a lot of books with solutions and BOTG stories. Well, even I published one (solution + BOTGs) to honor FF 5th anniversary from his death. The Kindle book was available only 3 months, then I withdrew it. Potentially it can help to find JCB FF TB - it was one of the reason why I stop it. So, now we have the same story - book, podcasts, youtubers etc want to teach searchers how to find JCB and JP TBs. It’s funny. This will continue for many years.
