I think that more recently, many businesses, at least those with a conscience, realize there are many ways to help others with overstock items, damaged items.

Seems like the toy company could have gotten a write-off for donating them to a charity.

Surely some charity could have used them.Charley "Apple" Grabowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07193646109965731249noreply@blogger.com
