SALES GROWTH? You know what will grow sales, pick an F'ING PRICE AND STICK TO IT. I've bought things on eBay with a more consistent price than this box. Why would I go out and buy their product when I can wait a month and get a lower price, then wait another month for a lower price. This is much like shopping for a house right now, just wait for the price to become reasonable. If you don't stop screwing with pricing people are just going to hold out for the 'next lower price' and never buy. Sales growth? SALES GROWTH?
