Yes. And it's not supposed to be ""your"" product after you sell it to a retailer.
- judge2020 4y agoThis is actually shifting, from what I've heard; if you're a small physical product seller and want to get your stuff on retailer shelves, you essentially pay Best Buy a shelf space & inventory fee instead of selling your product to them. This means Best Buy can take a chance putting garbage (or not) products on their shelves without having to take a loss (in the form of a discount) on any unsold inventory.
- dylan604 4y agoBig Box retailers will give you shelf space, but if product isn't moving, they can force you to buy it back from them. That's part of the agreement signed between the parties. Just like Apple putting in as part of the contract that you sell at stated price, it's something agreed between parties.
