The stats:
- $81.9 million of goods (after refunds and cancellations) were sold by our community in October, 6.7% higher than September’s $76.8 million
- That represents 4,292,583 items sold for the month, 7.6% higher than September’s 3,988,852
- 2,725,336 items were listed in the month, 7.7% higher than September’s 2,530,651

I enjoy these reports, but I think that's two months in a row where the Percent increase in Items Sold outpaced the percent increase in total revenue - that indicates a trend of Lower Average Item Sale Revenue. I'd be happier seeing that moving in the other direction....
