Pat sells “thousands” of books a year?

[TorquieTwoBeers]

There is literally no way he is selling even 500 books a year. Back when I was tracking his sales on Amazon* in 2020, he was selling maybe 20 books a month. And Amazon accounts for something like 80% of an author's total sales.

*For each of his books, if there were fewer than 20 in stock, Amazon would tell you how many were available for purchase. So if you looked at Gate Crashers on Amazon, it would say like "12 remaining in stock". So I checked it every day. Every time the stock number dropped by one, I assumed it was because someone bought a copy. I did this for all six of his books. He was selling only a handful of physical copies a week across all six. Obviously this doesn't account for eBook sales but it does give you a good idea. Now fast forward 3-4 years and all of his books are old and he has zero cachet behind his name. He's probably selling only 250-300 books a year.

You’re ignoring his massive hand selling at conventions. I’m sorry you’re so stupid, he has hundreds of fans at each appearances.

How have we gone this long without hooking up pat with Joe? These 2 should be a cartoon.

A lot of people bought that one lady's book who he accused of cover design plagiarism. He's probably also inspired more than a few people to buy books on weight loss because they feared turning into him. No to mention all the sales of Owen's book before it got unjustly yanked.

So you see, he does sell thousands of books a year. Just not his own books.

Is he really saying his car is a rare classic? It has 175k miles and it's been in 3 accidents. It sits outside all year long and he drives it in the snow. The seats smelled so bad he had his rodeo clown dad reupholster them. Anyone could afford that piece of shit.

Wrong as always, stlaker. His rodeo clown dad sucked off 2 Mexicans in exchange for the reupholstering. He didn’t do it himself, just like the bullriding. Enjoy prison.
