I've sold two books in the last ten days on consecutive days, both of which were about twice the price of the cheapest which were listed as being in similar condition to mine. Both went to buyers new to me, so not repeats by a previously satisfied customer. My rating was slightly higher than the other sellers, but they had a lot more feedback in total. So, no obvious reason why I was chosen unless one believes in 'switched on, switched off' which I fervently do since the advent of Seller Central.
Only two things are certain on Amazon:
1. I sell far fewer books since Seller Central than previous.
2. I never sell anything at a weekend since Seller Central.
So, on the now rare occasions I do make a sale, I rejoice and don't wonder 'why me?' for long. To re-phrase slightly an old saying, 'There's nowt so queer as folk and Amazon'.
