Like all the stuff what is returned to Woollies and the like, they are written off as loss and dumped
in this case you talking about of 150 dollar a generator
they call that creative bookkeeping
you would not want to know for how much is dumped every day by them big shops
If I would get a tenth of a percent of that value I could have an very lavish lifestyle

Returned Items
Permalink  

At least one major household goods supplier in Adelaide has/had a programme of checking and where practicable repairing returned goods.  An electronics technician friend of mine did it for several years as a part time job repairing anything electrical or electronic and overall, the wastage was actually quite small. A large percentage of the returned items had no fault.
