Amazon normally puts unsold or returned goods on pallets which are auctioned. I’ve read articles on this.

Wonder if the still get a tax break.
You’re right. There is an entire cottage industry on these pallets. There are many youtube videos on pallet unboxing.

I believe it. I spent some time at Home Depot and was appalled by the vast amounts of unsold items that were thrown in the dumpster. Cases of unsold light bulbs, power tools, even refrigerators. When I inquired why I was told this is the agreement with the mfg. They don’t want them back and they don’t want them given away. I was told that Walmart does the same thing so I expect it is the norm for many large retailers. It doesn’t take an undercover reporter to find this out. LOL.
