Mystery Method: How to Get Beautiful Women into Bed on Amazon.com sells for about $13.59 currently, and is eligible for free shipping with Amazon Prime.
That’s the yearly plan where you pay around 70 bucks to get free 2-day shipping the rest of the year. I re-up my Amazon Prime plan every year around Christmas, and it just about ends up paying for itself on Christmas gift shipping alone.
One of the great things about searching for books, movies, and music CDs on Amazon is you can look through the reviews. Though I take customer reviews with a certain grain of salt (it attracts the biggest fans, those with the worst customer experiences, and those who write reviews to get recognition of some sort), I do like to get a vague idea of what the buying public thinks about a product.

For instance, Mystery Method: How to Get Beautiful Women into Bed by Mystery and Chris Odom has received 169 reviews at present. Of these, there are 66 5-star reviews, 49 4-star reviews, 24 3-star reviews, 11 2-star reviews, and 19 1-star reviews. Once again, this doesn’t necessarily create an accurate assessment of the product. One, some Amazon reviewers write reviews to increase their “Reviewer Rank” as some kind of badge of honor. The more helpful votes you get, the higher your rank. From what I understand, positive reviews tend to get more “helpful reviews”, so there are people who write nothing but helpful reviews – not because they like the product, but because they want to up their reviewer rank.
On the other hand, you’ll also notice that a significant number of bad reviews involve the transaction itself. Amazon sometimes sends their products out of a particular vendor warehouse which might mess up an order, or might screw up the order itself. So a certain number of the negative customer reviews have to do with the shopping experience itself – not the content of the book.
That being said, you get some useful ideas once you start reading the reviews themselves, instead of looking at the numbers. The better-written reviews give you insight into the book, from the 2-star review that says the book’s advice is bogus – that it tells you to spend 4 nights a week chasing women in bars and other places, that it uses basic psychology to get responses, and that the lines it suggests are awful. In other words, the reviewer claims that anyone willing to do the legwork is going to get better anyway, just through practice, and that they wouldn’t need this book. Other reviewers suggest that their life would have changed had they read the book at 18.
Another way to get good feedback is to read the message board posts at the bottom of each item listed. These discussion boards include posts about the person in question or the item in question, or both. These become a good way to see the give-and-take in the seduction community, or whatever community you’re interested in buying into.
You’ll find threads like “Mystery Got Rich and Famous Extorting Neil Strauss…“, “NEGs Are Less Effective“, and “Mystery Method Cleaved and Dissected“. Once again, you’ll notice certain types of people gravitate to these customer discussions.
Amazon ships via UPS. You’ll need a credit card to buy through Amazon. It’s one of the best business models online, where you can not only give your reviews of a product, but also rate your transaction (on vendor sales), to let people know if your customer experience was positive. In the end, buying Mystery Method on Amazon is a good alternative to buying it at the store, since you can do it from the comfort of your home, price it and read reviews all at the same time.
