Is there another online outlet who may be more aggressive with their selling technique? Simply waiting for clients to come along clearly isn't working.
Very little sells itself, it usually needs a little, or sometimes a big push, I don't think an elevated price has much to do with slowing sales, more the lack of sales patter. Think Apple, Snap-On tools, Leica, most fine art etc. It's the desire that sells, and that desire has to be kindled in the prospective customer.
Another approach might work... 'create' one or two sales yourself, you or a friend buy one or two of the photographs and leave glowing reports about the experience??? I am sure others do it. Once the ball is rolling other sales may follow? It sometimes works on eBay, getting somebody to bid on an item to push things along, then natural momentum is gathered and the item reaches or even exceeds the expected price. Much of selling is in the buyers mind, little or nothing to do with the price, if somebody wants something and can afford it, they will pay.
Another thought is an exhibition, I think JK and Judith did that in Spain some time ago, can't remember what the outcome was but might be worth a try, also perhaps a display of photographs in a good class restaurant or something similar.
Just a few thoughts...
