Seems to work though. The owner is famously of the 'stack 'em high, sell em cheap' mentality. If they're selling stuff this cheap, they must have paid pennies for it and I suppose if they have storage for it all then eventually someone will buy it. It doesn't seem to make sense to me that they're paying someone to put all this stuff on the website that a) is unlikely to sell and b) is going to net them pennies in profit, but then I'm not a successful businessperson so what would I know.

Every time they have one of these sales, it just makes it obvious how little buying strategy they seem to have. Do they just get good deals on bulk orders of random stuff from whoever they can? A while back they had a tonne of Cannondale accessories like pumps and lights - why?! It's so messy. They don't sell C'dale frames or bikes, so why sell the accessories. Now they've branched out into urban cycle wear, but without having a proper range. Random Zipp spares as well - WTF?! It's like browsing in TK Maxx.
