What We Do?
Overstock Trader is a US based excess inventory buyer and liquidation service that has spent 15 years helping businesses find trusted buyers for their surplus, overstock, and closeout inventory. With $500M+ in inventory moved and 2,000+ deals closed, we have the capital, expansive buyer network, and experience to handle even the toughest categories. We serve manufacturers, retailers, and distributors of all sizes, from emerging brands to Fortune 500 companies, across every major consumer product category.
Unlike traditional liquidators, we can act as a direct buyer or work on a revenue share basis, giving sellers flexibility and certainty depending on what the situation calls for. The process does not have to be stressful. Every placement is handled discreetly to protect your pricing strategy and brand. With Overstock Trader, excess inventory becomes an opportunity rather than a burden.
About Us
For over a decade, Overstock Trader has been a top-tier provider of custom excess inventory solutions to manufacturers, leading brands, wholesalers, and retailers. Our unparalleled expertise, vast experience, and extensive networks make us the go-to partner for companies looking to reach the right surplus inventory buyers. Our discreet solutions enable our clients to move their excess inventory without interfering with their primary sales channels. With over 2,000 transactions successfully completed, businesses trust us to facilitate a professional process from onboarding through payment and pickup.
GLOBAL MARKET REACH
Managing the largest group of its kind of LinkedIn, we have a network that spans excess inventory buyers and sellers across the globe. As well as across many different product categories.
RELATIONSHIPS OVER TRANSACTIONS
We believe in relationships over one-time deals. This long term view of building trust leads to vendors that want to work with us and keep our clients successful in the market.
LEVERAGE TECHNOLOGY
Running a group with thousands of vendors means we have direct access. We leverage the latest social media and industry databases to help make deals happen quickly.
Our Services
We work closely with our clients to help them achieve their inventory recovery goals. Whether purchasing inventory directly or leveraging our extensive network to get distribution into off-price retailers, discount wholesalers, exporters, deal sites, and resellers, we develop the right approach for each opportunity. We help businesses move excess inventory efficiently while maintaining control over where their products are sold.
Inventory Liquidation
We have a global network of inventory liquidation buyers looking for all types of quality products. Do you have inventory sitting around that isn’t moving fast enough, or need to make room for new SKUs, allow us to find excess inventory buyers.
Off-Price Retail Distribution
Off-price buyers are inundated with inventory offers every day. We help your products break through the noise and get in front of the right decision-makers. Through our established buyer relationships, we help brands gain distribution with leading off-price retailers while protecting their existing sales channels.
Reverse Logistics
Returns are a fundamental aspect of any retail operation. Items that cannot be resold as new or returned-to-vendor don’t need to be a complete loss. We establish reverse logistics distribution channels to repurpose customer returns and extract maximum value from them.
What Makes Us Different?
Overstock Trader takes an individualized approach to every inventory opportunity. Unlike excess inventory buyers who focus primarily on purchasing at the lowest possible price, we evaluate each opportunity based on product category, quantity, condition, and market demand to determine the most suitable recovery strategy. Whether through a direct purchase or alternative distribution channels, such as closeout or off-price retailers, our focus is on helping businesses recover value while protecting their brand reputation and existing sales channels.

How Our Buying Process Works
Moving excess inventory shouldn’t take weeks of back-and-forth. Our four-step process keeps every deal clear, from initial review to final payment.
Send a manifest or a simple breakdown of quantities, condition, category, and location. There are no lengthy applications or upfront commitments.
Our team analyzes your inventory to determine whether a direct purchase or a placement through our buyer network makes the most sense.
If your inventory is a fit, you will either receive a direct Purchase Order from Overstock Trader or revenue share terms for your inventory to be placed within our network, which includes discount and off-price retailers, wholesalers, exporters, resellers, and deal sites.
Once pricing and terms are agreed to, we manage everything from placement to pickup and keep you updated and in control until payment is made and the deal is complete.
We Place Your Inventory with Top Excess Inventory Buyers
We specialize in helping businesses manage their excess inventory and place it with vetted buyers of overstock inventory. Economic changes, consumer trends, and seasonal fluctuations can all impact demand for products, often resulting in the need for companies to sell off inventory quickly.
Liquidating surplus inventory can be an effective solution, as it frees up valuable capital and warehouse space. We work with several top inventory buyers to ensure that we can find the right home for your excess inventory quickly and efficiently, while also being mindful of your marketing and pricing strategies. We take care to discreetly distribute obsolete and discontinued products into equity and warehouse space, ensuring that your business can focus on growth and profitability.
