“The products really end up falling into three categories – overstock, surplus of product or discontinued products, such as last year’s model or the year before model, and third, things that are slow-moving,†explained Randy Teague, ADI’s vice president of marketing. “They sell so sporadically that if they sit too long, they lose their value.â€
Although the merchandise is available online or in the company’s distribution centers, not all products may be available at all distribution centers. However, those unavailable at a particular location can be shipped, Teague assured.
