Congrats!
I know you are a big fan of gtc but I wonder if the right buyer would have found it if the listing had been redone and relisted in that time? I realize that there is no way to know for sure.
Yes there really are two camps, the camp that believes there is higher visibility given to "new" listed items, and the other camp that believes items with lots of views, despite being old receive more views.
I have seen very old stuff of mine coming up surprisingly high in search results, but it has like 2,000 views (not surprising if it's been running for 5 years!).
My personal belief is that it doesn't hurt to let them ride, plus they get grandfathered for all the things that have changed in the meantime.
As well, I can't keep up to the speed with which stuff is selling, it is all I can do to keep my item count at 3,000 items, I've been listing like crazy the last month and finally got it over 3,000 a few days ago (it dropped to about 2800 before I took my August eBay vacation) so I really don't have time to go relist/revise the old stuff, it will eventually sell, and with 10,000 "free" listings each month that's not a problem either....
I do think that the on sale stuff does bring buyers and it tends to bring buyers back who buy more than just onsale stuff too... those pesky eBay messages telling you that something you looked at is cheaper now, see to have a positive effect....
But as always what do I know, I'm employing "management by exception" as long as things are consistent, I'll keep doing what I'm doing until they start to slide upon which time I'll start experimenting again.....
