Ah, now… there’s a question.

OK, so it goes like this… every company has it’s favourite term for “excess inventory” and of course, we’re no different.  We prefer to call it “heritage inventory”.
This is our fancy and less incendiary term for “excess inventory” and as such it can encompass anything a company deems as one of the following:

Heritage or Legacy Inventory:
Inventory left over from older models or product lines released in the past that still either sell sparingly, are remembered with affection or held in high esteem. 
For example, parts for older or classic cars, a Spitfire engine or a Nokia 3310 mobile phone. That kind of stuff.
Note: One of our old bosses still uses a Nokia 3310… 100’s of times a day in a busy transport office. Incredibly, 100% a true story.  You know who you are!

Surplus Inventory:
Anything taking up space that you currently aren’t selling or actively marketing is our loose definition but I’m sure everyone has their own definition.
A good example would be when England are going well in a World Cup campaign and the inevitable “World Cup Winners” merch is printed at the last 16 stage….. this (often quickly) becomes surplus stock!

This is one of the most common terms and we think of it as left-over stock from a production run or an order has not sold out for whatever reason.

Overstock Inventory:
Inventory that has been bought or produced in bulk to a demand plan and the demand curve has now dropped – this is sometimes the stuff your Mum or Dad would tell you that if they kept it long enough… would “come back into fashion.”

End of Life or Discontinued Inventory:
Inventory that has reached the end of it’s life as a current all-star.  It could have been replaced with an upgrade or discontinued from production completely.  Just like our wise old grandparents used to say… “never say never” – our motto is “end of life is never end of life” – a new customer or new market can always be sourced.  That’s how heroes roll.  Let us show you.

Returned Inventory:
Anything returned that can’t now be sold as “New” – e.g. – Open Box Returns and that kind of stuff.
The explosion in returns from internet purchases recently would fit in this category.

Faulty Inventory:
Products that require grading, refurbishing and remarketing.

Refurbished Inventory:
Products that have been refurbished and now require remarketing.

Season + Inventory:
These are typically fashion products that are “out of season”.
Note: we refuse to recognise fingerless gloves in this category because they are NEVER in season, because they’re ridiculous. #Just saying.

All of our products are sourced from established supply chains and product manufacturers.

We don’t sell anything illegal, immoral, counterfeit, dodgy, “off the back of a lorry” or dangerous.

Talking of dodgy, we also don’t particularly like meat flavour crisps, they’re just…. well… wrong. Aren’t they?

Never say never.
(Sorry, we don’t mean to sound like the title of a Bond film!)

We certainly can wholesale – not on everything we stock as some of it is limited run or exclusive product.

But if you see something you like on our site, and you’d like to negotiate a price on a wholesale lot – we’d be happy to put on our lucky negotiating pants (they go on the outside of our trousers… naturally) and speak to you.

In a word… yes. Everyone loves a bargain. Even billionaires. We all know that.

In response to this basic human desire to get a good deal, we allow you to submit an offer on many of our products – we can’t guarantee we’ll accept it but it makes the whole process fun and you never know, you may even get a bargain!

So yes, you can haggle if the product page of the item you want has that facility but it will be a virtual haggle, (er…..vaggle?) if you will.
