sell seconds

[vectra]

Hello,

Is the word "seconds" used correctly in this context:

Svetlana: For quite a long time the supermarket allowed its customers to buy goods on hire purchase and on approval. As a result, the supermarket didn’t generate enough profit.
Sergei: Well, from my point of you, that’s very sensible of the management to launch this campaign. I only hope the supermarket isn’t going to sell foreign-made seconds to attract customers.
Svetlana: There is no way we can predict. Let me show you some real bargains.

Our book of idioms gives the following definition of "sell seconds"-sell goods which have a small defect or shop-soiled.

Thank you in advance.

"Seconds", in this context means "second quality", in other words, not perfect.

But to me, it doesn't seem that the dialog is a real one, involving natural speech by native speakers. It sounds like two continental professors whose second language is English. Intelligent, but not quite right.
