My biggest concern is someone bought something at the full price just before - I'll just add some beads to her order and hope she's happy.
There is always a start time and end time to any sale that us sellers may have. You do not need to feel bad if someone purchases an item just before a sale starts or even after one ends. You are not obligated to throw in anything extra for the buyer. Chances are they won't even notice. Besides they were fine with the price, which is why they purchased in the first place.
If by some odd change the buyer does say something to you. Then you may say you are glad they caught that, let me give you a little refund for the difference or whatever it is your feel appropriate without costing yourself more than you are willing to do.
Most buyers are very reasonable. They aren't all problematic, those buyers are the minority. But it is always in our best interest as seller to treat each customer with respect and as we'd like to be treated ourselves. Most times it will pay off. There will always be an extremely few buyers that no matter what you do, it isn't enough. But fortunately for all of us, the are a real fraction of the buyers we deal with.
