Look at the difference in sales on the chart between last year and this year from October on. It is interesting to see where the sales were similar (August to October) and where the sales were quite different – May to August and October to the end of the year.

    I notice that the price changes were a lot less compared to a week ago. 49 versus 73 I believe.

    Why do you believe this to be the case?

    Is this simply the result of it being Christmas time, and people are less likely to make adjustments to their prices at this point?

    That was the first theory that came to my mind.

    I would be interested to hear your thoughts however.

    Best Regards,
