    Very quick way of validating an idea to see if people pay for it

    IDEA

    INTRO

    Navigating the changes at Amazon since we started

    NOTABLE! 
    A lot of the eCommerce focus on the forum was a group of several that started around the same time. Dozens of us were doing eCommerce, with several different products but the same basic strategies. Amazon has changed a TON since @biophase, @AllenCrawley, @LightHouse, @JAJT, @Kak and several...
