Placing a book on Sale

If I wanted to make an announcement offering a ‘sale’ on a book, would it be possible for me to lower the price for a set period of time and then place it back at its original price without previous pending orders being charged the original price?

 For example, a two day sale.  After the two days, return the price to normal.  Would that effect pending orders made at the sale price?

Anyone happen to know the answer to this one?

I would guess you’d just go in and change your profit margin and then change it back when the sale is done. Blurb won’t change its cost so you have to make less money.

Well, that part I understand.  Just looking for verification from someone at Blurb that books purchased at posted price will not change when the price is placed back to normal regardless of orders panding.

A good question TVRPhoto…

Your earnings will reflect the then price of that book. Or to put it another way, changing the price of a book will have no impact on prior purchases at the prior price point.
