Not sure how you could have an Apple speedometer and an Orange speedometer?
Speed is just speed. eBay was the leader, now it is not. PERIOD….that does
not take any analysis. It is just a stated FACT as of October 2009.

Used to argue this one a lot on Randy's blog, as a 3rd Party seller, and especially one from the vintage niches, I really don't give a damn how many Kindles Amazon sells. Now if I was a stock investor I'd be real keen on the reports, but from my perspective this always looks like an apples to oranges comparison.

That said I do need to do more with Amazon myself, I haven't been as diligent posting with them this year as I was last and I must admit the payoff last year (for media items) was sweet.

Thanks, Cliff
