How do you sell overstock?

The quickest way to sell overstock is to sell it in one deal to a stock buyer. You send a list of what you have, the buyer makes a cash offer for the whole lot, and then arranges collection and payment. It clears the stock in days rather than months, with no listings, auctions or price-cutting.

That's exactly what we do. Most of the businesses we work with aren't shops. They're suppliers, wholesalers, importers and brands who have ended up with more stock than their customers need, often through no fault of their own. A customer cancels, a forecast is wrong, a container arrives late, or a production run comes in bigger than planned. We help you turn that stock back into cash quickly and quietly.

How to sell your overstock in 3 steps

1. Send us the details

Share a stock list, product details and quantities. A spreadsheet with product codes, barcodes and quantities is ideal, but a few photos and a rough count are enough to start.

2. Get a firm offer

We review the stock and send you one clear cash offer for the whole lot, usually within 24 hours. If brand protection matters, we agree resale channels at this stage.

3. We collect and pay

Accept the offer and we arrange collection from your site, warehouse or port at a time that suits you. You're paid before the stock leaves.

How much is my overstock worth?

Every load is priced on its own merits. The main things that affect your offer are:

  • Brand and demand: recognised brands and products with steady demand are worth more.
  • Condition and packaging: new, sealed stock in retail or trade packaging gets the best price.
  • Volume per line: deep stock in fewer product lines is easier to resell than many small lots.
  • Resale restrictions: if you need us to avoid certain markets or channels, that's fine, but it can affect the price.
  • Location and loading: palletised stock that's easy to collect keeps costs down.

Send us your stock list for an accurate figure. There's no obligation to accept.

Will my overstock end up undercutting me?

Not if you don't want it to. This is the question we're asked most, and it's a fair one. Before you accept an offer, we'll agree where your stock can and can't be sold, such as export only, trade-only channels or away from specific retailers. You keep your trade relationships and your pricing intact. Find out more about how we handle branded overstock.

We collect overstock from across the UK

We buy from businesses throughout England, Scotland and Wales, including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Bristol, Nottingham, Leicester, Glasgow and Cardiff. We can collect from your premises, a third-party warehouse, or direct from a UK port such as Felixstowe, Southampton or Tilbury.

Frequently asked questions about selling overstock

What is overstock?

Overstock is stock you hold more of than you can sell in a reasonable time. Unlike dead stock, it's usually still current and saleable. You just have too much of it, often because an order was cancelled, demand was lower than forecast, or a delivery arrived late.

How do I sell my overstock quickly?

Send us a stock list with product details and quantities. We'll make you one cash offer for the whole lot, usually within 24 hours, and arrange collection as soon as you accept.

What's the minimum quantity you'll buy?

We're set up for volume, so we're usually best for loads of 5 pallets or more. If you have less, get in touch anyway. Strong branded stock can still be worth an offer.

Can you keep my stock out of the UK market?

Yes, if that matters to you. We can agree resale channels before you accept, such as export-only or trade-only, so your stock doesn't compete with your own customers.

Do you buy stock that's still at the port or in a container?

Yes. We can buy stock that's still in transit, at the port or in bonded storage, and arrange collection from there. Confirm duty and customs handling with us when you get in touch.

How and when do I get paid?

Once you accept our offer, we agree collection and payment terms in writing. You're paid before the stock leaves your site.

Is it better to sell overstock or discount it?

Discounting can recover more per unit, but it's slow, rarely clears everything, and can damage your pricing with regular customers. Selling to a buyer clears the lot in one go and keeps it away from your normal channels.

Is my enquiry confidential?

Yes. We never share your details or stock information with anyone outside our team.
