Thanks for the response!
I can see neither site has a manual penalty according to google webmasters tools, but is there any way to see if either site have some other penalty, through a tool or something?

Redirect closing established site to another established site.posted in On-Page Optimization
We have 2 ecommerce websites with duplicate product/category content that have been around for years. "Site A" since 2004 and "Site B" since 2011. "Site B" doesn't generate many sells and we want to close the site in fear that it may look spammy to google and since we don't want to upkeep the site.
Couple questions:
1. Is it possible that "Site B" has damaged "Site A" with google since they are so similar?
2. Can i 301 redirect all of "Site B" to "Site A" without hurting "Site A"?
3. If question 2 is ok, should i use the "Change of Address" tool in google webmaster tools to point "Site B" to "Site A"?Thanks!
