But as a consumer, I am more likely to purchase if I see that the inventory is low vs if there is 12000 available even if there is the same chance of it selling out before I checkout. Seems to me that the best tactic would be to only show inventory numbers when it's below a certain threshold or the velocity of the inventory is decreasing sharply.
