What are “overstocks”?
Overstock is everyone’s term for “we ordered too many and now we can’t sell them!” There is nothing wrong with these tires – other than the fact they haven’t sold quickly enough for a tire dealer. When this happens the dealer with the overstocks will sell these tires at a discount to other dealers, like us. Usually pricing on overstocks will be as low or lower than a blem tire. The only problem is that you never know when manufactures and dealers are going to decide to move the overstocked tires (often it happens right before the fiscal year ends). We are always looking for overstocks to buy so that we can pass the discount along to you!
A publisher may over-estimate on their original print order, but decide that a book is worth keeping in print. In this case, they might decide to sell off a quantity of their existing stock at a reduced price, which helps by lessening the demand for expensive warehouse space. After this the title will still be available from them, though often at a higher price.
