Well, for the sake of argument, let's suppose those really are 'seconds'
that HD is selling, meaning there is some visible defect ...

Or worse yet, what happens if the toilet does fail ?  HD sure isn't going to
take any liability beyond the price of the toilet, which is likely to be the
least expensive part of fixing the problem.

Just two of the (valid) reasons that professionals frequently pay more
"wholesale" than we can buy similar items for ourselves.
