The first one was turned down because he didn't have enough money, so you ended up with one lousy sale out of 30,000 visitors to your store that day. Tomorrow, the same thing will happen: people coming into your store reading what they want, some will try to steal the books to read them at home, but in the end only one or two out of 30,000 will end up making a purchase.

If it doesn't make sense in the real world, why do we tolerate it in this business?
WTF site do you have that you only make 1 sale for every 30,000 visitors?
