Along with some overstocks, there are wholesalers from China that stock Dollar store inventory. This stuff is made in such quantity that it ends up costing a fraction of a cent apiece.

It’s a combination of posts above. One is obviously “what the market will pay”! The material to make a Nike hat costs about $.12. The hat sells for upwards of $25! Go figure. Shoes, under $5, they sell for hundreds. Second is the low overhead and finally a lot is old, unmovable merchandise. The funny thing is miss labeled or miss packaged stuff. Some is really amusing!
