You people are beyond pathetic. ALL companies do this, unless they can sell the goods. Otherwise, they'd end up buried in junk. Think your local Sears keeps all the unsold clothes, year after year?

I thought that quite a bit of unsold low-end clothing worked it's way down the retail chain from one store to another until it's finally sold or (as should have happened here) given to charity. It can be more expensive to destroy this stuff vs giving it to charity. High-end clothing and consumer products (like golf clubs) are routinely shreded beyond use (there are companies that provide that service). This reflects the fact that in those cases, the cost to make those products is low compared to the cost to market them, and it can cause harm to the percieved value of the brand if unsold products turn up in surplus stores.

A long time ago I was part of the security team at Sears and they had the same policy on their returns. We were required to use everything from scissors to a sledge hammer to destroy product. They didn't want anyone to be able to use this merchandise. I suggested a charity donation but management said no. Never found out why.

Right!...Management is run by governing laws of 100+ years ago, that are interpreted to date and enforced by crazy people.... That's disgusting, unless the product was defunct to the core, therefore not feasibly reparable by anyone. IE: A lot of ppl still repair CRT monitors, but mostly if there is a missing color, and a transistor is replaced...a bit of work, but cost about $2. Plasma screens are irreparable low on energy but 10X the price of a CRT monitor.......this "war" has been going on for about 25 years.... A lot of "recycling" centers around the world check to see if a possibly of resurrection is possible, otherwise they tear down and recycle the status of raw element.
