As a matter of policy, I think items should stay on the site unless the vendor deliberately removes them. As was said before, the items are still in the database for people who already bought them.

Some vendors, like xtrart3d and seven, leave a large part of their catalog in the clearance bin all the time. Their items don't seem to disappear, either. Is that normal?

In response to consumer573's original post, a real clearance sale is always welcome. :D
