I don’t know. Whatever he asking I guess. Up to maybe fifty bucks. More than that I would have to think about it, and would most likely pass. Going to one of the road shows sounds like fun.
 
id buy the dvd
i buy carom dvds from france, i like what i like and dont care about paying for something i want.

if im watching utube anamules they are either stupid cat videos or vicious animals ripping other animals apart for supper
 
I'd buy it for $20-$30 if it had an over-voice explaining the key aspects of the run.

Yes, the market is extremely limited, but serious 14.1 enthusiasts would likely appreciate enough the skill & effort involved (and the reward deserved) to pay at least $100, especially if the DVD is high quality, and the narrative is interesting. A good info/photo insert package would also make buying the official product preferable to a pirated bootleg video, and should likely be offered initially only to his road-show audience. Many would attend not only to see the show and interact with John, but as the only way to buy the DVD especially. Less dedicated players WOULD likely get bored just watching someone pocket balls for 4 hours, but ‘I’ HAVE to see (with my own eyes) that anyone could break that many consecutive racks without getting hooked, in order to actually believe it!
 
If it was available, right now, for $79, I would buy it. A year from now, I would probably pay $49. After that, I will have likely lost interest.

pool outside the us is very different.
attracting customers to pool halls is a lot of work

How many people would actully buy and watch a recording of someone running hundreds of pool balls. I mean really its not like some leaked Pamala Anderson sex tape.
From what Ive read the reason for not releasing it is because of loss of revenue from it being pirated. So lets say it would sell 1 million copies. Im not sure it would but lets say it could. If JS got just 30% of the revenue that would have to be a pretty nice payday for a guy living in a motor home.
But really do ya think it would sell so many copies it would be life changing if he got every cent....Im kinda doubtfull its a stright pool run a very impressive one but really how many people care.

Two years ago, when it happened, I would have paid $100 for a copy of the unedited footage.

Now, long after the fact, I have no interest in a produced, edited video.

of course he cant make any decent money from the tapes. no market for it.

but by releasing them he gets the notoriety and can do endorsements, tv shows, other types of tapes and write a book or two.
then can do high priced lessons and exhibitions. and do the named pool stick thing. lots of possible openings by being famous for something.
that how willie mosconi made his living. and mike euphemia made nothing.

For the same reason there is no market for his tapes, there is no market for "endorsements, tv shows, books, etc"

(I really wish things were different)
 
Having joined a straight pool league a couple of years ago ( pre COVID), I’d pay to watch it. Too bad straight pool has faded. The position play is soooooo precise. Willy Mosconni made it look like he never had a difficult shot. 1/2 or 1” off on position can kill a run. Even if you have killer position and blast a break, if you get glued to a ball, end of run. MS’s accomplishment is like Hank Aaron’s home run record or bowling 10, 300pt games in a row. But if you don’t know what you’re watching, it’s just pocketing balls. MIke Schmidt’s name will forever be remembered in the sport after all others are forgotten.
