From what he said in the link I provided above, I think the reason he's closing his store is because he wants to drop his prices to compete with those who are copying him. If we wake up tomorrow to find everything in his store $5, well, people who paid $20 are going to be annoyed. The way around that is to close the store for awhile. If you close for, say, six months, then re-open with lower prices, the customers really won't have any reason to complain. The ones who paid the higher price will have had that much longer to have used the product.
