Selling Lots: Your Ultimate Guide to a Successful Sale (also to Opkopers like Kooistra)

PREPARATION - THE BASIS FOR SUCCESSFUL PARTY SELLING

A good start is half the battle: preparing your lot for sale

Before putting your consignments of goods up for sale, proper preparation is crucial. This not only increases the chances of a quick sale, but also a better price.

  • Inventory Accurately:
    • What exactly are you selling? List the products in detail, including quantities, item numbers, specifications (sizes, colours, materials), and any brand and model information.
    • How many pieces per item are there? Are there variations?
  • Determine the State of the Goods:
    • Are the products new, B-choice, returnable, slightly damaged, or end-of-season? Please be transparent about this.
    • Document any defects or details. Photos can help with this.
  • Packaging and Presentation:
    • Are the goods still in their original packaging? If not, how are they packed?
    • Ensure an orderly presentation. A well-organised party makes a better impression.
  • Set a Minimum Price (If Possible):
    • What is the absolute bottom price you want to receive for the lot? This will help in negotiations. Do realise that buyers often go for a quick, total purchase and a competitive price in return.

WHO BUYS BATCHES? YOUR SALES CHANNELS

Finding the right buyer for your lots

There are different channels and types of buyers for consignment goods. The best choice depends on the type of goods, quantity and speed at which you want to sell.

  • Specialised Party Goods Buyers (such as Kooistra.com):
    • Advantages: Fast turnaround, often buy the whole lot at once (including various goods), instant payment, less hassle for you. They are experienced in logistics and various product categories. Kooistra.com, for example, has been in business since 1979 and buys a wide range of lots, from consumer electronics to clothing and tools.
    • Disadvantages: The price may be lower than if you sell to end-users yourself, as they also need to make a profit.
  • Other Companies (Competitors, Additional Companies):
    • Sometimes other companies in your industry or a related sector may be interested in specific lots.
  • Online Marketplaces (B2B Platforms, General Platforms):
    • Platforms such as [name some examples if relevant, e.g. Stocklots, Marketplace Business] can have a large reach.
    • Disadvantages: Can take more time, you have to handle sales and shipping yourself, and there is a lot of competition.
  • Auctions:
    • Suitable for certain types of goods, but yield is uncertain.
  • Direct Sales to Consumers (Outlet, Pop-up Store,:
    • Can deliver the highest margin per product, but requires a lot of time, marketing and organisation.

THE SALES PROCESS - FROM OFFER TO DEAL

Smoothly Selling Your Lots: The Process

  • Clear Offer Doing:
    • Present your lot with all relevant information (see preparation) to potential buyers.
    • Include clear photos or videos of the party.
    • Indicate where the goods are located and the conditions for viewing or collection.
  • Negotiating the Price:
    • Be prepared for negotiations, especially with professional buyers. They know the market value of leftover lots.
    • Focus not only on price, but also on conditions such as speed of purchase, payment terms and who handles logistics.
  • Agreements Record:
    • Have clear, written agreements on price, lot size, payment terms, and responsibility for transport.
  • Logistics Handling:
    • Who is responsible for loading and transport? Make clear agreements about this. Buyers like Kooistra.com often have their own logistics capabilities and can pick up the lot quickly.

Remaining stock

Remaining lots are goods that fall outside the regular sales process, often due to disappointing sales figures, seasonal changes or minor damage (B-choice). To save costs and free up space, companies often choose to sell these lots in one go. This provides immediate liquidity and prevents further depreciation or brand damage.

Selling obsolete stock

Obsolete stocks are products that no longer sell, or sell poorly, for a variety of reasons. For example, they go out of fashion, are technically obsolete or are superseded by newer versions. Such inventories often occur at the end of a product's life cycle, but can also arise from assortment changes or trends that suddenly stop. Because storage costs money and the value of stock can be better utilised elsewhere, it is wise to part with obsolete goods in good time. Selling them creates space, liquidity and focus on products that are running well.
