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?


I think may depend on the size nd location of the store but they just
keep the items on display until sold. I've visited stores in areas not
local to me to find large stocks of items that have sold out in the
stores local to me within a day


Perhaps there's a bit of internal shifting going on then, because my
local stores can have large quantities of certain items [I usually
notice tools & the like], for weeks, then when I next visit, they're
gone.


I was aware that stock can vary from store to store. I was really
dissapointed to miss the pole mounted chainsaw at Aldi. I came across
a shop up north with a pile at a ridiculous price. I now have three!


I could certainly do with an Aldi nail/ Staple gun [pneumatic] if
anyone knows of a store with one.

My first was brilliant but I have run out of staples and it is no
longer in the UK :-(
