Frequently asked questions about selling obsolete stock

When is stock obsolete?

Stock is obsolete when products hardly sell any more, if at all, for example because they are out of fashion, technically outdated or pushed aside by newer versions. This often happens at the end of the product life cycle, but also after a new variant is introduced.

Why sell obsolete stock instead of clearing it yourself?

Clearing it yourself at rock-bottom prices competes with your own range and can damage your brand. Selling to Kooistra.com brings in cash straight away, takes hardly any time, and we make sure the lot is sold outside your own sales market and stays there.

What does it cost to hold on to obsolete stock?

Obsolete stock takes up warehouse space, ties up capital and usually loses value every month. The longer you wait, the lower the residual value. Selling quickly to a stock buyer limits that loss and makes room for stock that does sell.

Does Kooistra.com protect my brand when reselling?

Yes. Thanks to our international export network in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa, among other regions, we can sell lots outside your own sales market. Lots with a brand restriction in Europe are therefore no problem either.

Do you also buy obsolete stock with old packaging?

Yes. We buy products with outdated packaging, old branding or expired promotions, as long as the lot is saleable. Mention this when you offer the lot and we will take it into account in our price.
