Clearance items come from our return bin. All products in our return bin have been carefully INSPECTED and only get resold if they are unused or show ZERO signs of use. The only thing that makes these products any different than the "new" products at full price is they have been A) repackaged, B) their packaging is damaged, C) the magnets have already been separated or D) it is a previous year's version. We ONLY sell these to our US customers.
