Used to work in an Army Surplus/camping store
Whenever we had a tent on sale, we'd move all but one to the back so there would be the display tent set up and just 1 tent still in the box. Most times, just seeing the last tent sitting on the shelf would insire the customer to buy. Sometimes though, when someone came in asking about the tent but wasn't quite sure One of the guys would go in back and phone the front. The guy up front would then yell back to me asking how many of x model do we have. To which I (or whoever was talking to the customer) would yell back "Just this LAST one in the box plus the display..."
Worked every time
Folks just hate to miss out on a deal
