Free Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 this is an interesting article about sellers using algorithms to adjust prices. apparently, it can get out of hand ;) http://www.cnn.com/2011/TECH/web/04/25/amazon.price.algorithm/index.html?hpt=Sbin I always thought those books were out of print and therefore in high demand. Wow but 23 million for a book on flies is high ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow but 23 million for a book on flies is high ;) I wondered too about some of those prices. Several thousand for a novel? Is it really that good?

mamachanse Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Very interesting. I always wondered why books were priced so outrageously sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Well, that certainly explains so of the crazy pricing for books that don't seem all that special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
