$v = {};#version$ourVersion = 1.40;#1.40 Refinement by MVS to optimise#1.39 Refinement by MVS to include signing items#1.38 Refinement by MVS to create subroutines#1.37 Removed maximum Drop from Script - commented out in case we want to add itagain. Kept price from#going up more than 2x#1.36 over14 days bug if it is 0 then it won't re price books that are not yet listed.#1.35 found bug with over14 days.#1.34 added ability to re price mass paperbacks if older than 180 days#1.33 Bug when a book was looking for under 14 days. If it wasn't listed yet itwas under 14 days...duh.#Changed to look to see if it is 0 days...it isn't listed yet#1.32 Excluded DVD/CD's from re pricing. Also excluded books from being re priced if less than 14 days.#1.31 AOB has bug with listDate if we haven't listed yet. This was causing non-listed books to show up listed#longer than 180 days.#1.30 bug needed to set ourBooksLowestPrice if a condition better was found cheaper.#1.29 Allowed acceptable books to be re priced and offers compared.

#1.28 Added function to re price above condition if we didn't have a price in our condition#1.27 added the no_manual_reprice flag if we change the price#1.26 changed the lowest price of a condition above ours to 65% of lowest listing so that we ensure we are always 35%#lower then the rank above us.#1.25 changed minimum new to .99....book over 180 days will get bumped down onecondition so it prices and moves.#Rating cut off changed to 250,000 from 500,000#1.24 Changed multiplier to X2 for books that we found no price to match#1.21 fixed bug determining what is a hardbound book#1.22 changed the price of hardbound books to .99#
