Liquidation Stock Job Lot

Buy Liquidation Stock to Boost Your Business Profits

Purchasing bankrupt stock from eBay can give your business a boost. This is because often administrators have written stock costs off, and just want to shift the items quickly to free up the premises. The result is that if you are quick, and recognise what you are looking at, you can snap up some excellent stock, in great condition, for pennies on the pound.

What sort of items go into bankrupt stock on eBay?

Almost any stock items can go onto sale on eBay. Choose smaller items, which tend to be lightweight or compact, and thus liable for lower transport costs:

  • Jewellery: Earrings, chains, gemstones, and precious stones are lightweight and small, and you can get good value from a mixed lot of liquidation stock jewellery items, almost all of which will be reusable or saleable.
  • Knitting/Crafting Wool: While fairly bulky, wool can be compressed without sustaining damage and it is very lightweight. Retail prices for wool tend to be too high for crafters to make good profits, so a job lot of liquidation stock can be the answer to boosting income – or even for indulging a habit for crochet, knitting, and crafting.
  • Collectibles: Coins and stamps, especially the latter, can hold great value in a small and light package. Buying job lots of liquidation stock from philatelic and numismatic shops can be a good way to boost your collection. You may find some rare samples in a lot, or you may end up with a lot of 'swaps' that you can sell individually or in partial sets to earn your investment back.
  • Fishing lures: These are another lightweight but relatively high-value item that you can make a useful profit with by investing in a liquidation lot of wholesale items, then breaking it down into single items and selling them off individually over time.
  • Electrical spares: Fuses, plugs, and pins are in great demand as replacements and spares, and taking a chance on a bulk lot of these items can see you net a useful profit when you turn them around as individual listings.
Ethical considerations of buying liquidation stock

You have not done anything to cause the need for the sale, and you are not doing anything wrong by taking advantage of what is, to you, a good deal. The seller may even be relieved to hand over the stock, as it allows them to move on to the next thing that life has for them.

Sources for liquidation stock

Liquidation stock is not always sold off because of bankruptcy or mismanagement. Sometimes businesses need to tweak their product lists and list the items that they no longer want to sell. Other reasons for liquidation sales include police seizures being sold off, deceased estates needing to transform the property into cash for disbursement to the heirs, or uncollected items being sold to defray items left in warehouses, storage units or at auction houses.
