Warehouse lady might also have added value by turning 5 pallets of low-value junk into one pallet of slightly more value plus 4 pallets of low-value junk.

If pallets normally bring say $100 each but by letting the stroller lady consolidate the strollers into one pallet that she'll pay $250 for, everybody won.

Except for all of the customers who ended up with less valuable pallets assuming they expected more quality items to be there. If they knew exactly what quality they were getting and paid less then I agree it’s a win for all.

If you're just buying pallets of random returns, removing one category of items from that random pallet may not even devalue the pallet for that customer either. Heck, it might even make the pallets more valuable to have less variety in them (after all, the stroller-only pallets became more valuable when they are stroller-only).

Except next month and every month after, no one buys the pallets.

I maintain those pallets might be more valuable to other sellers with other stuff instead of strollers. If I'm running a business selling small stuff in flat rate postal boxes, and I don't want to deal with being a stroller mechanic, having broken strollers out of my pallets (and having other stuff instead) is actually a positive for me.
