willy431 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I am sure most of you are like me, and have 50 different lego sets in your amzn cart/saved for later that you review 10 times a day. I've never seen the price volatility this low. Interesting--this was the same with skylanders giants when they were hot. When they were on fire, the prices changed literally every 10 mins on 30 different items--now that nobody cares about them---they are stable. Wondering what this portends for lego amazon sales. Probably people are on vacation and not checking/buying as much lego, and since AMZN uses complex algorithms based on personal shopping trends, and page views--previous and post amzn landing---the quants are taking a rest? I'd love to see the code of their lego quant--not that I could understand it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolanfan34 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I agree that it is probably seasonal more than anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I would think it would have to be pretty seasonable. If they do have complicated Algorithm's for each type of product, I applaud them, but I feel like it would have to be simpler than that.

spener90 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Amazon does have complicated algorithms, which is why there is a possibility of seeing two different prices on separate computers. I would say low volatility is because of summer, if it stays steady into the holidays I would wonder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
