My recollection is that there were some wild oscilltions. For the first day or
two, sales went to zero. Then, all of a sudden, there was a burst of activity,
then nothing, then another burst. This kept happening for a week or two, then
the activity line seemed to begin to approach something more of a steady state.
Please keep in mind, that this is my interpretation based on my recollections
of the events then. Other sellers (with other items to sell) may have seen
different patterns.
