The good news is that clearance is much easier to believe then you might have thought. You are likely to find some clearance merchandise in your local stores but you will find a lot more online.

You see no retail outlet wants to sit on merchandise for any length of time so when it does they mark it down as clearance. That doesn’t’ mean there is anything wrong with it – it simply means a store misjudged on how much product they should have brought in based on their customer base.

These companies will either offer the merchandise at a discount price or sell it to what is called a jobber who will then move it at a discounted rate. These jobbers then sell the goods through a dollar stores and liquidators. You can get some great buys this way and not with just boards but with boots and outerwear too.
