I’ve recently taken to selling books on Amazon.
I’ve noted that books with low numerical sales number ranks move quickly, and of course those with higher numerical ranks move much more slowly.
For instance, a book with an Amazon sales rank of 67 sells quite a few units per day.
A book with a sales rank of 100,000 may sell a few units a day, or perhaps one every other day.
Books with ranks higher than 800,000 or so have sold in the past… but may never sell again.
I have an opportunity to sell some CDs, but I have no idea if a CD box set with a sales rank of 13,000 will sell in an hour, a month, or a millenium.
Does anyone have any relevant data?
I’ve read the standard reference page on the topic of books:
but it doesn’t give me specifics on CDs or movie DVDs, which would be quite handy were I to get into this. I just spent a couple of hours Googling, and I’ve got no trustworthy information to work on.
