Do they? I thought K8's were created from manufacturing overstock, and spoiled
boxes at the factory/warehouse.
I've seen many sets at the Outlet store that appeared to come from store
returns. I suspect this is what happens to all of them. It's probably
different from an accounting perspective to dump out a box before it's been
shipped to any customer (spoiled product) and to dump out returns from vendors.
(charge backs).
