The foreign buyer pays the freight plus per pound. It's like going to an auction where they pay you to take. At the closest store they have several trucks being loaded for overseas all the time. There is more going in those trucks than goes in the store and the dumpster. A while back they were looping a video in the store of their stuff being sold by street merchants in southeast Asia.
