I think your missing something about FC, all the items are donated free of charge to FIRST they don't chose to "move" these items here they place the donated items here. And only the quantities that are donated. In the past if a company was only able to donate 100 of an item FIRST wouldn't be able to pass it on to teams because they couldn't donate enough for even every rookie team to get one.

I agree there are flaws but I'd rather have the option for some free stuff even if it seems worthless, you never know when you'll need that left handed screw driver, than the other option of FIRST turning it away.
Bottom line this stuff is donated for free. I'll take whatever I can get.
