I don't know. I don't work for Amazon or any company that does this (I used to work for a few companies that used to, but not in awhile, so I don't know if they are still doing it). > I would have thought that would be simple on a high traffic site like > Amazon, but I was thinking more about the mere mortals in the > ecommerce world?

Otherwise, you are lying to your customers and that is never a good thing. For new sites with not much history, I would let the site show them that. "Not enough data has been captured yet for this feature" is a nice placeholding text. :) > How would you set up such a thing in a new site? Depends on how the site is set up.
