(...) I think they DO sell most of it to us because, unlike some of the other stores, they're not afraid to take big discounts. I've been told (in a Northern California store) that what little doesn't sell is ultimately returned to the manufacturer. (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) As someone who's come across things months after the end of clearance, I can be pretty certain that they don't go anywhere. In fact, I have almost never seen any LEGO survive the second day of 75% off, and I've been to a *lot* of Targets. So (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)

I assume most of it gets bought by us and/or by 'professional' eBay sellers, but maybe that's not the case... I thought Tuesday Morning might be a (...)
