Popular Miscellaneous Items @ Amazon.com

This is the one of a series of quick articles on popular products from Amazon.com. Of course, the most obvious measure of popularity is Amazon sales rank, the default listing order of Amazon's aStores. That order is already represented in the search engine listings, at least in theory. These items are ones that I have actually sold.

It's not entirely clear to me why Amazon.com's sales reporting software classified these items as "other," but it's much easier to treat them as a group than to add them piece-meal to other groups - and risk missing some - even though it's apparent that the category currently applies mostly to women's shoes.

The idea here is that these items are popular enough that someone would buy them, but not so popular that they are widely listed elsewhere. Though this approach may seem wildly random, it is very likely that if someone bought these before, someone else might want to buy them in the future. Perhaps they are just what you're looking for!
