You're skating too close to the line for my liking. There was once a furniture store in my hometown that was constantly having a going out of business sale, everything must go. It went on for years, radio ads, TV ads, people out holding signs, it sort of became the town joke, people would drive by and say "heh, still going out of business, eh?". Then one day, I drove by, and the place really was out of business. I searched around in the papers a little bit, turns out they were sued by the attorney general and the subject of three class action lawsuits for unfair and deceptive trade practices as a result of this little scheme they kept pulling over.

Its one thing to be creative, but it has to remain accurate and legitimate. I suppose the limited time pricing thing could work because you didnt say how long "limited" is, and you could end it at any time so I suppose that would prolly fly. Just be careful, is all I am saying.
