What are Closeouts or Liquidations?

Closeouts usually include excess merchandise from manufacturers, department stores or retailers and are normally all first quality goods. Many companies and manufacturers are left with billions of dollars in excess inventory each year and are forced to sell or "Closeout" their excess inventory quickly and below their cost.

What are Overruns or Overstocks?

Overruns consist of over produced merchandise and should all be first quality.

What are Department Store Returns or Salvage Merchandise?

Returns include a wide assortment of merchandise including products actually purchased and then returned by customers, in store damages, marked out of stock products and case packs that have been opened. Most of these products are sold by the truckload from various points around the country. Returns are less than perfect merchandise. The merchandise may be slightly damaged, missing a piece, discolored, or be in a damaged box. However, you usually get a large amount of products that are like new. A small percentage of the merchandise may be thrown out due to damages but you are generally paying between 8-12% of the retail price. So even with a small throw out percentage and some slightly imperfect merchandise, you can easily double or triple your money.
