the items they hoped to sell, and they haven't included anything in income (because it hasn't sold). They might do this to prevent the items they might otherwise give away from being sold elsewhere at super cut-rate prices, reducing demand for the stuff in their stores at higher prices. It's sort of like how a star might not want to sign an autograph, if s/he feared that the person getting the autograph might sell it rather than keep it.
I'm not defending their action. I'm just trying to figure out how they might be looking at the situation.
