❌
Out of stock — Cold, skip unless physically in that aisle.
Reference
Signal Theory — how penny pricing works ⌄
- Items move through markdown stages over 7–13 weeks.
- When the system flags for removal (ZMA), register price drops to $0.01.
- The app never shows $0.01 — only the register knows.
- "Limited Stock / Not eligible for online pickup" = ZMA flag = unit still physically present.
- Consumer app shows one less than the internal First Phone count.
- Out of stock on app ≠ zero units — may be on overhead shelves.
- Confirmed $0.01 buys 7/13 in WA: Husky work light, Voltec GFCI (now zeroed).
- PennyCentral WA reports: RYOBI Generator (WA4), Pet Vac (WA7), Samsung Fridge (WA7), Battery Inverter (WA11).
Priority signal stack (strongest → weakest):
- Limited Stock + not eligible for pickup = 🔥 go now
- 1–3 units + on penny list = ⚡ high probability
- 4–6 units + on penny list = worth scanning
- Out of stock = skip unless physically in aisle
