And the law prohibits them from giving it away or selling it to end consumers directly. Idiocy [/quote] Merica :oridin: [/quote] [quote:Anonymous Coward 54469829:MV80NDQxMjQ4XzgwODQ5NzY5X0YyRUQ5NzNB] [quote:Anonymous Coward 78614390:MV80NDQxMjQ4XzgwODQ2NjI2XzVGOUYzNUNF] Along this train of thought, I was wondering if many retailers are doing ordering for Christmas/Holiday shopping time (so that they will receive inventory in August-October. It would be more telling to see what retail ordering is looking like. Anyone know where to find this information? [/quote] I doubt it. Locally, Ikea didn't even order for summer items. They are supposed to have a sale on these items, but they are all out. I find it hard to believe they would be ordering more merchandise for the holidays. I bet it's slim pickings this year. [/quote] I've been noticing the same thing for a long time, you go into the household section at Walmart and a lot of things are gone. Any type of small furniture or useful household item like that. I have also been noticing the really odd, crappy looking items stuffed on clearance racks in every store. A lot of the clothing accessory and cosmetic industry along with salons and places like that, are driven by our social lives. We want to look nice when we're out at our job or at school or going out to clubs or church. We don't get to do much of those things anymore, so the demand is also going down. My autistic son really wanted a new game system, and he couldn't find a single gaming console of any type at the game store. We had to go on Facebook and ask to buy one from someone. He was given a playstation by a kind person. Gaming consoles like those are made in China. It's very concerning, because people don't realize how much they need to hold on to what they have. Bartering is probably going to become a big deal in the future, if things don't loosen up soon. And also, the more rare things get and the more in demand they become, the higher the price is going to get. Now a good deal of China is dealing with massive flooding. Starting to wonder if this is some type of weather warfare being sent in their direction. [/quote]

Most retailers are preparing to go out of business. They are self-liquidating because cost and they know they only have a narrow "re-open" window to do it.
And...
Because the big liquidator companies are overwhelmed and can't move the product to other retailers because there are no
other
retailers now.
They can't even load it and ship it to dump it in Africa or South America.
So this is why.
