Meet Our Founder
Hi, I’m Gregg Schwartz, founder of Overstock Trader. I started this business because sellers deserve better than email blasts, public listings and marketplaces that create channel conflicts and put their brand at risk.
Transparency starts with you. Before anything moves, you tell us where your inventory can and can’t go, which retailers, which regions, which channels are off limits. That stays your call the entire way through, not something we decide after the fact.
I personally evaluate every inventory opportunity that comes through. When a direct purchase makes sense, we buy it outright. When placement within our network is the better fit, such as off-price retailers or discount wholesalers, it gets the same discretion, the same brand protections, and the same effort to get you a strong, fair recovery on your inventory.
I built this business on relationships, not one-off transactions. Most of the people we work with come back the next time they have excess inventory, and that only happens if we’ve earned it by protecting their brand and getting them a fair deal every time.
Who We Help
As excess clothing buyers, Overstock Trader works with apparel brands, manufacturers, retailers, distributors, importers, and 3PL providers throughout the apparel industry. Whether you’re managing seasonal inventory, customer returns, canceled purchase orders, or discontinued product lines, we evaluate your inventory individually and determine the best purchasing approach.
We work with:
Retailers
Regional retailers, national chains, department stores, specialty apparel retailers, and ecommerce retailers.
Apparel Brands
Seasonal collections, excess production, discontinued styles, customer returns, and canceled orders.
Manufacturers
Overproduction, canceled purchase orders, packaging changes, excess inventory, and private label production.
Importers & Distributors
Bulk apparel inventory, excess production, canceled orders, and warehouse consolidations.
3PLs & Fulfillment Providers
Abandoned inventory, customer returns, refused shipments, and excess apparel inventory requiring disposition.
If you’re holding onto unsold apparel, Overstock Trader can buy that inventory directly and help you turn it into profit.
How It Works
Selling your aged and excess clothing inventory with Overstock Trader is simple and stress-free. Below is how our process works:
Send us a list of your surplus clothing, including item types, quantities, sizes, and any notes on condition or packaging.
Our team reviews brands, categories, quantities, condition, and market demand to determine the best purchasing approach for your specific inventory.
We send you a fair, no-obligation offer based on your stock, timeline, and current market demand.
Once the offer is accepted, we help coordinate logistics to move your inventory quickly and securely.
Whether you’re offloading a few pallets or clearing a full warehouse, we keep the process fast, discreet, and efficient from start to finish.
Where We Sell Your Clothing Inventory
Brand protection matters to us, so as part of our process, we learn directly from you where your inventory can and cannot go. You stay in control of that the whole way through, whether that means keeping it out of certain retailers, certain regions, or certain channels altogether.
From there, your inventory can move in one of a few places:
Off-price retail floors and discount racks
Promotional or seasonal sell-off programs
Wholesale resellers across the secondary market
Export to international buyers outside your existing markets
This keeps your inventory out of your own sales channels entirely. A retailer down the street never ends up carrying the same stock you’re still trying to sell.
Why Sell Excess Clothing Inventory?
Fashion moves fast, and yesterday’s styles rarely gain value over time. The world’s leading clothing brands know this and don’t hesitate to offload last season’s inventory in bulk. Holding onto excess apparel, whether it’s unsold stock, surplus from a canceled order, or outdated designs, only adds cost and complexity to your business.
Apparel that’s no longer in demand ties up your cash flow, takes up storage space, and loses relevance with every passing week. The longer it sits, the lower your chances of turning it into profit.
Timing has a significant impact on recovery value. Fashion trends, changing consumer demand, seasonal transitions, and warehouse costs can quickly reduce the value of excess clothing inventory. Overstock Trader evaluates every opportunity for a direct purchase first, helping businesses recover working capital before inventory loses additional value. When that’s not the right fit, placement within our network takes over instead, with the same confidentiality.
FAQs of Excess Clothing Inventory
What types of surplus clothing does Overstock Trader purchase?
We buy a wide range of clothing categories, including men’s and women’s apparel, kids and baby clothing, activewear, workwear, innerwear and basics, and private label or branded apparel. We also purchase excess seasonal stock, overstock inventory, customer returns, discontinued styles, and clothing with minor packaging defects. If you don’t see your product listed, send us your inventory details and our team will take a look.
Do you buy branded or private label apparel?
Yes. We purchase both branded and private label clothing, including national brands, licensed apparel, retail-packaged goods, and e-commerce excess inventory.
Do you buy small lots or full truckloads?
We work with both. Whether it’s a few pallets or a full truckload, we’ll let you know quickly whether it’s something we can move forward on.
How quickly can I liquidate excess clothing inventory?
Most sellers hear back from us within one to two business days after we receive their inventory details. If a direct purchase is the right fit, we move quickly into finalizing an offer, so you’re not left waiting once we’ve seen what you have.
Do you buy inventory directly, or work through your network?
We evaluate every opportunity individually. When a direct purchase is the right fit, we buy your inventory outright. When it’s not, we place it through our buyer network instead, such as off-price retailers or export, with the same confidential process either way.
Do you handle reverse logistics?
Yes. Whether you’re dealing with customer returns, canceled orders, or unsold stock sitting in a 3PL, we help coordinate the movement of inventory from your facility to our buyers.
Do you offer international buying and selling?
Our primary focus is U.S.-based excess inventory and buyers. We occasionally work with international partners depending on the type, condition, and volume of the inventory, so reach out and we’ll let you know what’s possible.
Is the liquidation process confidential?
Yes. All inventory details are shared only with qualified clothing inventory buyers, and we handle the process discreetly to protect your brand and existing sales channels.
