what to do with extinct pagination pages

[epmaniac]

hi,

i want to ask suppose i have a list of widgets going upto 10 pages... but now i have only upto 7 pages of widgets left in the list...

so instead of showing empty pages (which could result in duplication) should i 301 redirect the page 8, page, 9 and page 10 to original page 1 of list?

thanks :)

If they don't have incoming links , i would make them 404 (erase them).

If they have incoming links i would do 301 redirect to main page of their category.
