> Also, Amazon doesn’t “clear” out their warehouses. They charge sellers to story inventory in their warehouses. The longer items sit unsold, the more amazon makes off of the seller in FBA fees.

Yes but 2 things can be true at the same time. Amazon can make money of stuff sitting in the warehouse and they/their clients can want to sell stuff so that they can make room for more stuff or just clear old inventory off the books. I'm not sure how you get "included" in Prime Day but I assume sellers do something to opt-in.
