The sales bar is used to determine whether a Sim will buy an item or not

The sales bar will appear above the Sims heads when they are looking at an item, the direction the circles around the bar are moving determines whether the Sim is deciding for or against buying the item. If ignored for too long a Sim may get annoyed and a customer loyalty star may be lost.

Susceptibility

Some Sims are more susceptible to sales than others, they may repeatedly turn down offers. This depends mostly on the Sims mood and sheer randomness on the game engines part. Finding out which Sims are good to try on is mostly trial and error, however there is a business perk which can be used to determine their susceptibility.
