Selling obsolete stock

What does a stock buyer do?

A stock buyer helps you get rid of excess stock quickly. Need warehouse space or want to free up cash quickly? A stock buyer will buy your stock in one go - often within days, without any hassle. At Kooistra.com, we even arrange this within 24 hours.

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 For example, they go out of fashion, are technically obsolete or are superseded by newer versions.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.
What is obsolete stock and how do you deal with it efficiently? Discover smart strategies to make stock that is no longer selling yield space and value.

Buyout of obsolete stock

Stocks come in all shapes and sizes at buyer Kooistra.com, and so do stocks that have been in storage for a long time. The item has gone out of fashion, for example, or it has been overtaken by time and technology, or by improved versions. Either way, we are happy to buy such obsolete stock.

Obsolete stocks, what does it mean?

Every wholesaler, shop or other stockholding business has to deal with stock that is no longer selling, or selling poorly. When a specific stock's sales fall and/or its margin decreases to such an extent, there comes a point where the stock actually costs money down the line. Costs for storage do continue and, moreover, the cash value contained in the obsolete stock may pay off elsewhere.

The problem often crops up at the end of a product's life cycle. This is because it is difficult to predict, especially in the case of a fad or trend where demand can drop abruptly. But obsolete stock can also arise at the beginning of the product life cycle, just think of the introduction of a product variant or range. What then happens to the old stock? Right, possibly it is left lying around.

Why sell obsolete stock

When a stock becomes obsolete, it has to be parted with in short order. The choice is then either to sell to your own customers or to a buyer. Compared to selling out yourself, selling to buyer Kooistra.com offers a number of advantages. Its own range, with a healthy margin, is not competed with. And any branding is not damaged. Indeed, we can ensure that an obsolete batch of goods is sold outside the company's own market, and stays there. In addition, the buy-back generates cash immediately and requires virtually no time and effort.

Selling obsolete stock to buyer Kooistra.com

Selling obsolete stock is actually quite simple. Using a preferred channel, you can submit the stock in question to us via a description, photos and possibly a list. From a photo and description, we can often already make an offer. If desired by you or us, our buyer will visit you for a viewing. After an agreement has been reached, we pay the invoice in advance and the collection is set in motion.

Besides obsolete stocks, we buy up many other types of batch goods. We would like to explain what we buy and our role in this process.
