1 & 3 are about right.
Just a few months back I found a Sky Sweeper jet from VvV (The original, black version of the Crimson plane currently showing up in stores) at Dollar General, when I went to buy it (or at least ask to get a discounted price on it) it scanned up as not in inventory, that's when the cashier told me she had to throw it away now. |

I don't believe that for one minute. No way they go to the trash. They would be donated as write off before they'd trash em

They go on liquidating-priced clearance. That's when all the kitbashers pick them up. I've see one or two 25th Anniversary Joes floating around Target recently. Unfortunately, Target has already removed the SKU from their system so the price scans as "unknown". I didn't feel like finding a manager to bargain with, so I left it.

No, some stores will just trash things. You learn new things when you are friends with employees. Some stuff gets written off and donated, some shipped back, some just trashed.

that's right. if it's a hassle, sometimes one'sies and two'sies get trashed. it's not policy, but it does happen.
joe is a brand name, and it does sell, if not for the brand. rarely does this stuff ever sit forever; when the SRO's went redlined at Marshalls to $7, they were gone in a week. Name brands clear out around the holidays, you'll always have some uncle or cousin that picks up something for dirt cheap as a gift for someone else they know that likes the brand, without giving any thought to the gift, but enticed by the price. Man, would I have loved to have seen a VvV jet at Dollar General.
