Should I be concerned when I’m running a spring break sale and no one is buying?

[suns_193]

I’m currently running a spring break sale. Have a lot of stuff on sale. I’ve been sorting my inventory and uploaded a lot of listings this month. 

but during this sale, I’m not selling anything other than a rare Simpsons DVD. Should I be concerned or is there specific stuff I should work on like with listings or marketing?

Maybe DVDs will come back -- at least in a limited way -- as people tire of the ever-increasing streaming fees and buy some of their favorites to keep on hand.

This is exactly who to market to. I sell DVDs (I tend to list them in batches) to a market who wants to actually own the DVD to watch when they feel like, or it isn't streamed, or they don't really care about streaming, particularly cluttered with ads. But it's certain genres which seem to sell.

Should you be concerned?

Have you watched the news?

I have not bought a DVD in the past 10 years. 

My wife did ask the other day if we still had a DVD player. I said, of course, it's part of the sound system we never use because it makes the dog bark.....

You have 79 items listed with ~ half toys or novelties. IMO you a lot need more listings and greater variety. Last, is it really profitable trying to sell a few $10 items?
