Just wondering ... price ballpark

I think the majority of people interested in annotated matches will be the average to worse Open level player. While I agree with you that your World Class players can figure it out on their own, I still buy every backgammon book under the sun and read it. I've always wondered if most of the Giants did this. I assume they do. If they do, then isn't it strange that only one Giant has ever bought any of my material and even then it was only one single item? I wonder whether it's some awkward pride thing, that they don't buy/read everything backgammon they can get their hands on, or something else I don't understand.
how many of them will you even reach with this forum and any other marketing means?
More than you think, that's a universal 'you'. Damn English.
But then there is the usefulness of the information...
I agree and disagree here. As I've said before sometimes my students love simply playing backgammon during our lessons and listening to me give my two cents in the moment. There are so many things that come up in the course of a normal match that they may not understand but a structured lesson might not exist for it for many reasons. It's obviously more useful if I annotate one of your personal matches than someone else's as it is directed towards your errors.
and if you discuss not only the plays they got wrong but also the interesting ones they got right
I would of course discuss all plays that I think any intermediate backgammon player might like discussed whether the players got the decision correct OtB or not. I do like doing videos and even video annotation may be an option. I'm more or less thinking out loud here.
I like how you started your post as a number of key points (1....) and ended with 1. Thanks for the feedback.
