LIQUIDATION CLOSEOUTS
Liquidation closeouts occur when a company is stuck with excess merchandise from a previous season's production. The causes for such overruns can vary from missed deliveries to changes in design, color, or materials, but in general the merchandise should be not only usable but capable of being repackaged and resold without any significant changes necessary. Liquidation closeouts are normally factored into a company's fiscal budget and individuals are often hired for the express purpose of simply dealing with the surplus inventory.

The advantage to buyers is that Liquidation Closeouts tend to represent a company's best efforts to get rid of merchandise in bulk rate as soon as possible, regardless of profit. In fact, since the neglected items are often taking up warehouse space that could be used for newer models and products more in demand, companies would be losing money in the long run if they didn't throw the stuff away or give it up to charity. As a result, entreprenuerial individuals specialize in buying merchandise exclusively from liquidation closeouts, with the intention of reselling it themselves.

Liquidation Closeouts and the Off Price Industry
There is serious money to be made using these methods, although as with any business venture, it comes fraught with risks as well. Thanks primarily to the Internet, the off price industry is flourishing, accounting for hundreds of millions a year in retail sales. Flea market vendors, discount retailers, exporters, auctioneers, wholesalers, and individuals trying to supplement their income purchase this merchandise and for the most part, statistics indicate that they prosper.

Liquidation closeouts are generally bought at a substantial discount, which depending on the company can range from 15% to as much as 80% off the retail cost. These discounts are then passed along to the consumer and present the vendor with the opportunity to promote products at a cheaper cost. Online intermediaries which specialize in facilitating transactions between consumers and companies performing a closeout will handle much of the necessary paperwork and hassles for a fee, which gives some indication of just how organized a cottage industry liquidation closeouts have already become
