I just watched the classic W.C. Fields' "selling of the Beefstake Mine stock" scene from The Bank Dick, and I think the following is a better case of salesmanship:
"Why waste your money in the stock market? It can crash regardless of any decision you make and can even crash regardless of any decision made by the company related to the stock - Leaving you with a near worthless piece of paper that won't inspire anyone! With the purchase of an historic document such as this Star Wars Glory Book, it doesn't matter what happens to the economy, you will still have the inspirational document which can be displayed and enjoyed. The magnificence of art and historic documents have an inherent value that relates to civilization and society. Unless civilization itself crashes then this piece will hold its value and if civilization itself crashes - Who will care about money? This is definitely ECONOMY PROOF!" I would suggest adding the following to the end of the above Don't be a mooncalf, don't be a jabbernowl, don't be a luddyduddy... BUY NOW!
