 Sp> Not sure what smaller stores are meant to do with whatever they have.

What I meant is that small shops, run by individuals not networks may not have access to best deals, and best deals may include more arguments for more efficient return policy. 


If that's not the case then basically they are left with all that stuff ordered for sale and I believe sometimes storage cost is more critical than selling at loss.. I claimed that many small scale shops had to sell to empty storage for new season and sometimes it's losing less than keeping the store occupied by unsold and unsellable items.

I also found that Internet comes as remedy as even if you don't have market for your wares in the neighborhood, then you can always post them available online individually and also try to find good whole sale deal for companies who specialize in long-tail selling tactics.

I'm pretty sure that we would not have brand new floppy disks still available if somebody didn't see business storing them for so long beyond the life cycle of the product.

Diversion from the core topic regarding consumerism and Black Friday, to glue it back, I believe that all options for sellers and buyers are important and come with value.. as long as there is some plan, or at least, sanity check in place.

PS. I finally upgraded my TV last weekend. After 15 years, my old FHD got replaced by a proper OLED 4K, 10'' bigger than the previous one! Hah!

.... Xerox Alto was the thing. Anything after we use is just a mere copy.
