I don't those big bucket dump displays like that. Walmart does that with DVD's a lot too. You can never get to the bottom and it winds up causing more damage to the items than anything. Grants they're cheap but it would take little effort for the seller to just line them up in a row for easy browsing. They'd probably wind up selling more too because people like me see those messy piles and just move on.
