Amazon.com's pricing variation? at DVinfo.net

Finally got a title for sale on Amazon, via CreateSpace. I'm curious as to why some CreateSpace DVD titles are sold at discounted prices, while others aren't (even though our cut as producers is fixed, based on RRP and Amazon's percentage, irrespective of what price Amazon.com sell for). Anyone know why?

Probably marketing. If sales are down or they don't anticipate many, they discount it.

Cheers.

Thanks Allan, likely so. Still seems a black box.
