Is it true that Intel still has massive stockpiles of unsold IB inventory produced?

Yeah, look at these winners local to me (granted never actually walked in the store, probably never will)-

This is really really bad, who even buys that? It's not the 80s where you could sold anything for any price because no one knew the real prices.

I wonder if CR was/is some small national chain or franchise.

There were a few in AK, and they always had the worst hardware at the highest prices.

Franchises. It's nationwide though. They're all over.

Some people will set a price (MSRP, usually) and never discount it or budge, because they know that eventually, somebody will come by and pay.
