Has anyone noticed the same thing? I seem to be selling a lot more than I was last month.

I have as well!
Although I thought it had to do with the fact that both the city of Neualtenburg and the Secret Underground Tinies City both made Pathfinder's Picks of the Week this week.  ~Ulrika~ _____________________

I've noticed it as well. In fact there have been days when I average what used to be an outstanding day, and I actually check my items to make sure nothing is wonky and everything is set to sell, because that seems so much lower compared to what I usally do lately.
Business is good. _____________________

My old products have been selling almost as though they were brand new. Really nice upswing in sales the last few weeks.

Of course it can't possibly have anything to do with the price dip of $L on GOM. Nonono
 Remember, lower prices of $L and land can only mean doom and gloom, falling sky and economic crashes. It's simply not reasonable to associate more money being spent on commodities with the idea that land and $L are cheaper. _____________________

It's simply not reasonable to associate more money being spent on commodities with the idea that land and $L are cheaper. Even if that's the case, a lower L$ value means I'm making less per sale. So eventually a break-even is reached. _____________________

I've noticed a general trend for more sales recently as well. I'm suspecting the free-account giveaway which attraced a few thousand new users.

Our sales skyrocketed so much that we made enough money to shut the danged shop down forever. One of the happiest days in my second life.
