"Small Batch" nootropics?

MYASD has mentioned over the years some of the things they don't get enough demand in. Perhaps instead of permanently keeping them in stock, have you guys considered producing batches once a year (whenever your slowest time is) of your slow selling products?
Might be a possible balance between niche and mainstream offerings, having one time a year where you stock up on less common items and market it as such.
Plus, "small batch - we restock this product every April" feels more reassuring to me as a customer than seeing something I like or want to try out of stock for long durations. Plus, an annual restock could be a way of bringing fresh attention to old favorites the ND team likes via blog/emails

The problem is that hype changes over time. Some products that used to sell well have fallen out of popularity, and others have blown up that used to not sell at all. It's really hard to predict with a catalog as large as we have. Plus, people like convenience. They want things available when they are ready to buy. If they have to wait for a specific time of the year, many will just buy elsewhere and keep buying there out of convenience. If slow selling things are available less often, they will just sell even less.
