1. really? they do a lot of $$ in warehouse re-sales. Usually only damaged packaging

I've bought quite a few things that way and never had a problem with any of them.

2. This pallet sales probably come next. My local goodwill does this also. people with trucks

unbox their pallet in the parking lot and stuff their truck

3. "all those returns?"

I recently bought a bathroom vanity/countertop/mirror combo. When it came it was damaged. Nothing I could not fix but was curious what the vendor wanted to do. Took some pic's and sent them off to the vendor. He said, yes it was damaged in transit and they will send a new vanity!. No problems.. I asked what to do with the "damaged" vanity. He said to send it to Habitat for Humanity and have them write the receipt to his company.. That was smart and a win/win/win all around. I got a new vanity, Habitat got a very good slightly damaged piece and the company got a tax deduction instead of a loss or cost to return..
Everybody happy..

4. local Target stores box up items opened in the store, drips on the side of boxes, etc.

and gives to homeless shelters. Nothing wrong with items. Just unsellable because packaging damaged or opened. Customers open LOTS of stuff in the store. I know from having worked in a store decades ago.

Even if we left one box opened, people still opened a new box to touch the merchandise.

5. Resold to Overstock Retailers,

Damaged Goods are return to Manufacture or Vendor for credit. Tons of items get special treatment at the Landfill sites,buried ASAP.
