Overstock vs. overruns
Overstock is inventory you already own in excess of what your channels can sell in a reasonable time: a forecast that ran high, a promotion that underperformed, or a customer who cut an order.Overruns come from the production side: a factory produces more units than the order called for, and the extra goods need a home. Both are new merchandise. Both tie up cash and space. We buy both.The real cost of holding extra stock
Excess inventory is rarely free to keep. It takes up warehouse space you could use for faster-moving products, it needs to be counted, insured and moved around, and it can lose value as packaging dates or new models arrive. Turning it into cash now usually beats waiting for a sell-through that may not come.
Signs it is time to sell overstock
- Weeks of supply keep climbing while reorders slow down.
- The same pallets have been counted in several inventory cycles.
- Newer, faster-moving products are short on warehouse space.
- Markdowns in your own channels are eating into margin without clearing the units.
If two or more of these sound familiar, an offer on the whole lot is worth a look. It costs nothing to send the list and see the number.
Clear it without hurting your channels
Many suppliers and manufacturers worry that dumping excess stock will disrupt their existing wholesale or retail markets. That is a concern we hear often. We can relieve you of your excess inventory and pay you for it quickly; tell us up front about any channel or market concerns you have so we can talk them through before an offer.
What to send us
- A list of SKUs with quantities and your cost or wholesale price.
- Case pack and pallet details.
- Condition: new in box, retail-ready, or mixed.
- Location of the goods and your timeline.
From there we review it fast and come back with a cash offer.
