a bridge to sell you, man!
Слайд 89“Hello, sir. Would you like to buy this lovely bridge
here? Its on sale for today only. Think of all
the money you could make from tolls.”

history managing to sell landmark items like Madison Square Gardens,

In fact, he sold the Brooklyn Bridge at least twice a week, one time for as much as $50,000. Sometimes the police would have to stop the “new owners” from setting up toll booths in the middle of the bridge.
Слайд 92George C. Parker was a successful con artist because he
knew how to sell to people based on emotions, logic
and be exploiting several human traits. For example, to sell items like the Brooklyn Bridge he would have had to exploit people’s:
Greed
Compassion
Irresponsibility
Vanity
And Honesty

the newly arrived immigrants from Ellis Island to New York.
They would target immigrants with money and tell them of the opportunity of "purchasing" the Brooklyn Bridge or Grant's Tomb or Madison Square Garden and so on from Mr. Parker, the proud yet desperate to sell owner of any and all the major landmarks of New York City.
Aside from immigrants he focused mainly on tourist visiting the city, talk about a souvenir that could last a lifetime.
Слайд 94He also knew a lot about what was involved in
a major transaction. For example, he even set up a
fake office and had fake contract papers drawn up so people didn’t suspect that he was doing something shady.
Слайд 95George C. Parker was in business from 1883 to 1928.
Eventually in December 17, 1928 he was caught the third
time and sent to Sing Sing prison with a lifetime sentence.
