You may also want to check out the advertising page - "SOLD OUT UNTIL APRIL 14TH" - not really a turn on to buy something. Also I keep seeing threads being made asking why their advert wasn't added, get an automated system as I'm sure that's not motivating people to buy either.

So anyway consider smaller time spans, $50 is a lot to spend when it's the same visitors checking back each day. Offer 1 week slots and more people wil buy them.
