I agree with the point Teup makes on this. "The race to the bottom" is something that concerns us as well. Constant "sales" just harm the overall selling prices. Same goes with store clearance, liquidation sales, closing shops etc. Other have commented that the selling price is just going down The same goes with the stores that overprice and then offer silly discounts.
