Do you ever run "sales" like brick-and-mortar storefronts?

Virtual Clothes Horse
I initially try to price my items at a level that is both beneficial to you and me. In my research of other online stores, they consider 40% off of the original retail price an amazing deal. I disagree! I price the vast majority of my items at 70%-80% off of the original retail price, sometimes even lower. Unfortunately, much like a B&M store, some items do not sell quite as expected. Those items will be placed on "sale" at various times during the year.

If the units are empty in 3 weeks or less, add another unit.
