When I worked at Aeropostale (it was an outlet store) we got all the clearance items from the other stores. Well, we'd sell those clearance items at ridiculously low prices (.99 cents for capris and shorts, 1.00 for shirts/tanks) because they just took up too much room, and we needed to have space for the new clearance items. We didn't make our sales quota on the clearance items, so those weren't our priority.

I think it would work the same with electronics. Those 'awesome' deals are usually on things that are older versions, or have less memory, etc. It's probably stuff that the store isn't making money on, so they rather sell it all to make room for newer items.
