The deals with these warehouses generally forbid it, and there are in fact investigators working on supply chain compliance (warehouse police). There is a line out the door for these mixed pallets, and if you are caught fucking around they will sell to someone else.

If you want pallets of baby strollers, or even a specific model/type of stroller, for refurbishing or whatever - the retailers want you to go direct to them. They'll happily sell direct to you, but you need to buy a truckload or more at a time.

So much for right of First Sale I suppose. Or has licensing so pervasively invaded our economic system that there isn't even the pretense of an equitable position in mercantile activity anymore?

Honestly, the further I dig into modern colloquial business practice, the more and more it appears everything is predicated on bad faith from the supply side from the start.

Right of first sale still applies. Nothing obligates a company to continue selling you goods if they don't want to.
