At my wits end

[rocksolid]

So about 2 yrs ago I launched my product Safe to handle. It was a success and a failure My success was learning how to put a product together from conception to selling it. I sold about 500 units to many different stores including many Ace Hardware stores. The problem is I have not gotten any re-orders and I currently have about 1500 units left. I have not been able to move the rest and I think I am at a point where I need to move them as fast as I can and work on some other projects. I have tried all types of hardware stores, BBQ accessory places and appliance stores as well as a few closeout stores. The best offer I have is from a closeout store who will give me .50 per unit. I need .92 to break even so if I go with them it's a lose money wise. I just hate giving up but I think there is a time to know when to move on.

I thought I would post here hoping that maybe somebody could come up with an idea for the stock I have left so I could at least break even. Also I thought it might be a good conversion about what you do when things don't go the way you hope. My website is in my sig if you want to take a look at the product.
