I've found a series of auction houses around Central Texas that handle the overflow from these returns. Generally, the stuff is "new" (still in the box) but the box itself was opened, damaged, or otherwise not sellable. The downside is that it's a total crapshoot on what's available, what it goes for, and what condition it's in. The upside is that 90%+ of the stuff I've gotten - a tent, a pull up bar, a Roomba, and lots of other things - have been in great shape and it didn't got to a landfill. I've had to replace screws and do minor fixes but after getting it 80% off, $1 worth of parts and 20 minutes of work is a great deal.
