can avoid this scenario by having an exit strategy. You must prepare your business for the anticipation risk of large quantities of products to be returned. The returned products can be used to create new sales channels and partnerships, turning this somewhat hopeless situation into a profitable one. |

A Retail store that cant sell 10,000 units must drastically lower your retail price causing the market on your product to possibly be destroyed.
