I know this has been raised before. As part of my retirement plans I am currently running a 3 day Closing Down Sale of my http://trams-galore.ebid.net store. Everything is half price but this is not obvious from the from the main store pages or from search results. Potential buyers will only realise there is a sale on if they open items. There is little point in running sales if the system doesn't promote them; all we need is a small "Sale Price" flag against items being discounted.
