Steimatzky sells 550 Hebdo mags in 7 minutes
All 550 issues of Charlie Hebdo sold out on the Steimatzky booksellers website within seven minutes of the beginning of its sale.
Earlier today, the Haifa District Court rejected an urgent appeal for a temporary preventative warrant that was submitted on behalf of prominent leaders in the Arab community.
Steimatzky agreed in the beginning of the week to sell the magazine on its website and not in its stores. Each magazine was sold for NIS 35 ($9), generating Steimatzky a revenue of NIS 19,250 ($4,817) in less than 10 minutes.
