Stock traders, wholesalers and closeout buyers: one counterparty, no fees, price risk transfers
You are talking to a buying desk, not to a platform. Nothing you send is discussed outside the two of us, and the lot never appears on a public listing where your own customers could find it. We buy the goods ourselves, pay the full amount before anything leaves your warehouse, and come back with a firm number within 48 hours of seeing the list.
- Mutual NDA, signed both ways, before you show a single line of the list
- The purchase agreement bars us from reselling the goods in your home market
- 100 percent payment before collection: no consignment, no commission, no listing fee
- Firm offer within 48 hours of the full list, from 1,000 units upwards, collection arranged by us
The NDA runs in both directions
An NDA that only protects the buyer is a formality. Ours is mutual and it is signed before you send a list: we do not name you, we do not describe the lot to anyone, and you get the same protection in writing over everything we show you.
That document is the answer to the question a trader asks before any other. It is not a reassurance on a call, it is a signed instrument you can read, hand to your lawyer and hold us to, and it binds our side exactly as it binds yours. Title and the right to sell are a separate question, and they are asked of you openly and confirmed in writing in the contract, because a desk that skips that question is not a safe counterparty for anyone in this trade.
- Signed by both sides before the stock list is shown, not after the offer.
- Mutual: the same obligation runs against us as against you, in one document.
- Title and the right to sell are confirmed in writing in the contract and asked of you directly.
- The NDA covers your name as well as your list: neither is described to a third party.
There is no shop, so there is nowhere for your lot to surface
This desk has no outlet, no clearance store, no marketplace page, no offer feed and no public listings. There is nowhere for us to put your goods where a buyer from your own market could stumble across them, because no such place exists on our side.
That is the practical half of a promise that is easy to make on a call and hard to show. The other half is on paper: the purchase agreement bars us from reselling the goods in your home market. You can read that clause before you sign, not after.
- No public catalogue, no offer feed, no subscriber list that lots get broadcast to.
- Your list is not circulated to test the market before we commit to a number.
- The restriction is written: the purchase agreement bars us from reselling the goods in your home market.
- Nothing about the lot is published, so there is no listing for a competitor of yours to find.
Three ways this trade charges the seller. We use none of them
Look at the infrastructure built around you and count how the money actually moves. First, a subscription: you pay an annual fee for permission to list goods you already own. Second, a commission: the venue takes a cut of a sale you largely found yourself. Third, consignment: the goods leave your warehouse and you get paid when, and if, they sell, at a price somebody else sets.
Three different mechanics, one shared property. In all three the trader pays for access to a buyer. We are the buyer. There is no fee to talk to us, no percentage on the deal, no charge for placing anything anywhere, and nothing moves on consignment. We buy the lot as principal, on our own book, and the money is with you before it moves.
- No subscription, no membership, no annual plan, no tiers.
- No commission, no success fee, no percentage of the deal.
- No consignment: we never take goods to sell on your behalf.
- No charge for placing or promoting the lot, because there is nowhere to place it.
- 100 percent of the agreed amount paid before collection.
What a trader gets in writing, and in what order
Promises on a call cost nothing. What separates one desk from another is the order the paper arrives in, and whether you are allowed to read it before you commit. Here the mutual NDA comes first, before a single line of the manifest changes hands, so the document that protects you is signed before the document that binds you. The sale and purchase contract follows, and it carries the two clauses that decide whether the deal is safe on your side: the purchase agreement bars us from reselling the goods in your home market, and the full amount is with you before collection.
Both are yours to read, and your lawyer's, before anything is signed. We do not paraphrase them here, because the wording that binds is the wording in the contract, and the clause by clause reading sits on our overstock footwear page. The profile is narrow: footwear and sports textiles, tier-1 brands, from 1,000 units per lot, and everything we refuse is written out on our what we do not buy page, so you can rule us out in a minute rather than in a week.
- Mutual NDA first, before the manifest, and open to your own lawyer.
- Sale and purchase contract second, carrying the resale restriction and the payment clause.
- Nothing binding is agreed on a call: what counts is the signed wording.
- Clause by clause reading on our overstock footwear page, categories we refuse on our what we do not buy page.
- The vetting checklist we expect you to run on us is on our sneaker stocklots page.
What the next few days look like
You write, a buyer answers
One message with the brand or category, the rough volume and whether you are ready to discuss a sale. A buyer replies within one working day, not an autoresponder. No stock list at this stage: the list comes after the NDA, not before it.
Mutual NDA, signed both ways
You get the NDA to read and to run past your own lawyer before anything is disclosed. It protects you against us and us against you, and it is signed first. Only then do we look at the manifest.
Firm offer, prepared not guessed
Within 48 hours of the full list you have a firm number, prepared against current demand and explained in the call. The number is named in the conversation and then confirmed to you in writing. If it is not a number you want, nothing is signed, nothing is disclosed further and you owe us nothing.
Payment, then collection
The full agreed amount is transferred before a single pallet leaves your warehouse. The collection we arrange ourselves. The purchase agreement you have signed bars us from reselling the goods in your home market, so that part is not left to trust.
NDA first, one buyer, nothing billed to your side
Three things decide whether this is worth either of our time: what the brand or category is, whether the lot is 1,000 units or more, and whether you actually want to sell it. Everything else, condition, documents, where the goods sit, terms of delivery, belongs in the conversation and not in a form. The NDA is signed before you show a list, nothing you send is charged for at any point, and a buyer answers within one business day.
Name and email are enough to open this; if WhatsApp is where you actually work, leave that number and we will use it there. There is no field for a price expectation and you are never asked to name one.
Received. Your offer is being prepared.
A buyer comes back to you within one business day, with a firm offer within 48 hours. Everything is handled under NDA.
Common questions
Who sees the list once I send it?
The buyer working on it, and nobody beyond that. The NDA is mutual and it is signed before the list moves, so neither your name nor the contents of the lot are described to a third party, and the same obligation runs against you over what we show you. It is a document you can read, run past your own lawyer and hold us to, rather than a sentence on a call.
We trade goods rather than produce them. Does buying from a trader change anything on your side?
No. We buy principal to principal and expect the counterparty to be a merchant. One thing does not change with the type of seller: you have to be able to sell what you are selling, so title and the right to sell are confirmed in writing in the contract and asked of you directly. The standard we apply to a chain of ownership is set out on our what we do not buy page.
Do you charge the seller anything: listing fee, subscription or commission?
No. No subscription, no membership, no listing fee, no commission, no success fee, no charge for placing your lot anywhere. We are the buyer, not the venue. Our money is made on the goods we buy, not on the people who offer them, which is why you never receive an invoice from us in any form.
Is anything taken on consignment?
No. We buy as principal and pay 100 percent of the agreed amount before collection. Nothing sits anywhere on your account, there is no settlement after sale to chase, and no part of the deal depends on how fast the goods move afterwards.
What if my lot sits outside your profile?
You hear it in the first reply rather than after a week of process. Where the line runs on categories, condition and lot size is written out on our what we do not buy page, so you can rule us out in a minute.
