.@eleanor*rigby Thank you for your offer on posting about this on chat today, but I really think it would be better if I did it myself, especially since I am the one experiencing this. I don't expect them to acknowledge that anything is really happening, but I've wrote up my summary of this Christmas sales issue and will post when it opens up this afternoon.
Oh, man! I've been working on my synopsis of your posts all week!
Just kidding. I was going to work on it this a.m., so all is well. 
I'll be watching the chat thread for your post! Good luck!
@monstertoybox wrote:Those are completely wrong totals! Are you just adding up what is showing under my solds? You know how many multi-quantity listings I have? Many. And these do not show under the solds until the last one is gone. 8 out of the last 13 days I had $200 in sales (give or take $5). Sorry, but once again, you are wrong.
The days where it isn't quite exact, I had accepted offers and had cancellations. Other then that there are definite patterns here.
I day trade a lot. You know, Warren Buffet said, paraphrased, you can take the same daily charts and turn them upside down, and come to the same wrong conclusions and justify why they mean something they don't. All this tells you is that some days of the week you sell almost the same amount... and some days you don't. Big box brick and mortar stores see the same results. They attribute them to more fundamental market factors than conspiracies theories that their building owners are throttling their sales traffic.
Your largest day came just after SS and Welfare Checks hit homes and had a weekend for funds to settle. Two of your slower days came on a Thursday... the day people generally have the fewest amount of discretionary dollars to spend unless they fall on a 1st or 15th. Your Friday Saturday pattern into a Sunday slow down is a very typical pattern. If you sell on the west coast compared to the east coast, that pattern is even more prevalent. Your next high day came 9 days after the last and fell on the first day of a December full moon. If you check your sales data for every full moon day for the last 10 years.... that's a pattern that will wow you too.
Even at that, it's all speculation and you can find a pro and con for every non fundamental, fundamental, technical chart out there.
Charts show patterns that can be interpreted based on something you want to see just as much as something you don't. There's nothing odd there.
Like I offered before. I'm a wealthy guy. Send me a PM on a day you believe that you have hit your max cap theory and send me 5 items I can search for. I'll do a search how I would look for that item in several ways and then see if I can buy one. Well test your theory.
But you only have two days left. I already put this store back on vacation mode. I only open once every 6 months in this house for tax reasons, and I'm out of here on Friday this week. I didn't really have much to do and no big liquidations to add to this old store. And I don't talk or log into this account from any of my other homes... usually. It's why I only comment up in here once every six months the last couple years on this board from this account.
