Anyone else notice the amzn lego VIX is at an all time low?

[willy431]

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.

I agree that it is probably seasonal more than anything.

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.

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.
