Identifying deeply discounted, clearance merchandise at a large home improvement retailer involves specific strategies and understanding of the retailer’s markdown system. These items, often priced at a single cent, represent the final stage of clearance before being removed from inventory.
The practice of seeking out such heavily discounted goods offers potential cost savings for consumers and opportunities for resellers. Historically, individuals have leveraged these price reductions to acquire materials for projects at significantly reduced expense or to generate profit through resale channels.
