Well, there is. You have a clearance sale when you replace old and discontinued models with new ones - not just because you want to make place for new inventory coz the people who want gr07 will get gr07 and the people who are waiting for vsd7 will get vsd7 - obviously gr07ce and vsd7 aren't meant to compete with each other [SIZE=12.8000001907349px]on the market[/SIZE] as the vsd7 will cost almost double. LMUE already cleared their inventory with the year old sale of the discontinued gr07mk2 and the permanent drop in price of gr07be. Now they are just having a sale. As already proven by LMUE and vsonic one can't just make a clearance sale based on internal information as last year LMUE had an official clearance sale of gr07 to make way for vsd7 and IMO they just lost a lot of money as now more than a year later there's still no vsd7.
Firstly, retailers have a very tightly knit relationship with manufacturers and are usually told way ahead of time whenever a new product is arriving. They do this because it allows the retailer to clear old inventory to make room for said new product. Retailers never have to do any guess work when it comes to when something is being released. This is especially true with specialty retailers like LMUE. This is also why you see leaks from retailer websites all the time, when they accidentally post a product that hasn't been announced yet. Secondly, sales happen because retailer wants to move product, period. You don't have a sale for the sake of having a sale.
