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 my vote, and this with having encountered "lost" clearance items
six months after the fact (in one case, two years), is that there's no
consignment. Not at 75%-off, there isn't.
