It’s natural to ask why retailers would offload their merchandise at such a low price. Most commonly it is done for logistical or contractual reasons.
Warehouse and shelf space is limited and purchases are scheduled months in advance, easily leading to overstocked inventory if sales projections were off.
Product packaging often changes to promote the latest superhero film or animated children’s show and merchants are frequently contractually obligated to have the most current packaging on their shelves.
Some retailers simply have internal policies to not allow merchandise to sit on store shelves too long and liquidate older inventory on a set schedule.
The industry term “shelf-pull” encompasses all the above situations and more where merchants liquidate viable product directly from their store shelves and is the category of liquidation most frequently available.
