Types Of Liquidated Inventory

Products liquidated and sold on the Almo Liquidation Auctions marketplace include a variety of reasons including returns, shelf pulls and excess inventory.

  • Returns
    • Inventory that was purchased by a customer and returned to the store for any of a number of reasons. The quality of inventory is dependent on the amount of use by the customer before returning and whether it was damaged or worn out in the process. Typically customers return products that show little to no damage.
  • Shelf Pulls
    • Inventory that did not sell and was removed from shelf space. Customers may have performed some light touching which could lead to minor wear or damage to the product.
  • Excess stock
    • Excess inventory that overly speculated the customer demand and did not reach the shelf. This inventory is typically stored in the warehouse or distribution center. Typically the inventory remains in its originally packaging such as boxes or pallets. The inventory inside the packaging is either like new or new condition, with superficial damage to the packaging itself.
