But in June I sold a miserable 5 items, though part of that was because 3 books purchased in May were returned, so 5 items was my net. For the quarter the total was 40 items with a price of $730.69 and a commission for me of $35.35.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest seller was the Turbo Charge iPod charger with 5 sales, though <a title=\"First Quarter Results\" href=\"http:\/\/fiveforks.com\/ted\/2009\/04\/first_quarter_results-2\/\">last quarter<\/a> I had 11 sales. The most expensive item anyone bought was a radon gas detector for $120, so I got $7.20 as a commission. The most unusual item was a handful of books on trauma including 4 copies of one book plus a couple of other trauma titles and a Ham radio book too. Three copies of that one book were returned.<\/p>\n<p>I am also still getting money each month for ads on my iPod pages and right now that is more than Amazon and AdSense revenues combined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amazon sales remained down, so it&#8217;s not quite as much fun to do a quarterly report.
