Retailers have to move inventory from their warehouses to customers at a good clip in order not to get stuck with a bunch of stuff they can’t sell because it has passed its sell-by date for some reason. Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) is no different. It’s just bigger than most retail operations.
The online retailer puts the goods it wants to clear out on its Warehouse Deals page, and if customers are looking for good prices on used or open-box items, this is a good place to start. All these items are available in limited quantities and the sale prices end May 1. Here is Amazon’s description of its condition ratings for used products.
Here are some examples going into the weekend.
