So I think they were able to get newer items returned to suppliers for partial credit, which would be better for the administrators than selling the stock above a certain discount.
No, they did indeed just sell it that quick. You weren't there with me at Aspley yesterday. I saw a few people with an odd lego set, the only ones I saw on the shelves left were a handful of those brickheadz things. It was a mad house. The check out line was from the registers, all the way to the back where the outdoors stuff is then around again towards the baby stuff, and all checkouts open.
