Except for the first 23 items, everything in Xtrart-3Ds store is marked Clearance. Looks like an error to me?

After looking into this. It is no mistake. The store was put in clearance per vendor request.

OK, thanks. Sounds a bit strange though as the store is in the 50% Flash sale, and the Clearance makes these items go down to 35% off instead. But for Prime members however it makes the discount go a little over 50% so I'm not complaining.

Clearance and extended license items do not go into sale. It was the vendors choice for their product to be at a permanent 35% off (55% off once in cart by Prime Members) :)

OK. So in this case it's not Clearence in the usual sense of the word?

It IS clearance since everybody gets 35% off on these products - prime members 55% off.

Yes, discount wise, but Clearance usually means that the items are on the way to be removed because not enough copies are being sold, doesn't it?

That was the old Clearance rule.. products were moved to Clearance if a certain amount of sale copies hadn't been made in the last six months..

That rule has been more flexible lately as many customers used to complain of not being able to find certain products anymore... besides, it made no sense to reduce the database when the zips are stored anyhow on the server for the buyers... other sites keep live products of more than a decade ago and for obsolete figures...

So going by the customers' request.. the Clearance rule is not as strict as it used to be! :)

OK, yes I like the new rule better too. Thanks! :)

That is good news.

Agreed, good news! :)
