soolin

I think someone has paid the leccy bill at Amazon as I seem to be 'switched on ' again! 5 sales in the past 24 hours and 14 sales in the last week.

Thank you selling fairy.

I've been struggling for a while as well, barely covering the 30 sales a month I need to make the pro subscription worth it. these sales (now sadly stopped unfortunately) have been a real boost.

Just to follow up on this. I ordered one and got the following email

Thank you for your recent order.
Unfortunately we no longer supply the cardboard size guide.
We do however have a durable plastic guide available for purchase at a cost of£29.64 incl. VAT and Delivery if ordered via the website below.
These can be purchased from www.averyweigh-tronix.com/pip
Many apologies for any inconvenience caused.

So it seams that the free ones are not availible anymore....

Ah right... i did order a while ago.
Shame - they are really handy too!

Totally agree! Got mine there and has been soooo useful. Even for personal mail it is so useful to be aware yourself of the actual postage cost, as one post office near me always charge for a packet without checking and I can confidently assert it it a large letter. Secondly really useful for helping you (when possible) keep books in the large letter category with appropriate packing. Sorry seem to going for the record on using the word useful in a paragraph, what can I say the word is so useful

Also wanted to ask how long does someone give a book on Amazon before you consign it to the second hand/car boot box? I know somethings take a while but space is a consideration and just wonderd if people loose patience at some point?

Cheers everyone, great thread as usual:T

Hi Guys,

This is the first time I have posted in about a year and found it interesting (and kind of reassuring) that sales seem to have dried up for not just myself.

Sales have fallen to 25 a month (off 400 stock) from a much higher figure. Really dried up. Time of year? Credit Crunch? Sheer volume of sellers? A mixture of all three I would guess.
