What happens to all the stuff they must have left over?
I bought a nail/ staple gun at around £16-00 and the nearest thing I
can find currently comes in at over twice that from Ebay and does not
include nails.

Both companies seem to shift their stock out to make way for more, but
where does it go?

My local stores seem to keep it for some time afterwards - just move it
along the isle. Only rarely does it get reduced. Or rather things I'm
interested in rarely seem to get reduced - more likely sold out by the
time I get there.

So my guess is to maximise profits - and keep the prices down - they very
rarely order more than they know they will sell.
