I was told from some merchants that an item stays in clearance for a certain amount of days (can't remember if it's 60 or 90 days). If  it makes a sale while in clearance it stays in clearance and the probation of it starts over. If it has no sales in said amount of time it is removed totally from the store. Or the merchant can request it's removal

In a world filled with causes for worry and anxiety...
we need the peace of God standing guard over our hearts and minds.
