The total is only the starting point.
When deciding how to price deadstock, a buyer needs to understand what sits behind the quantity. These details explain why two equally large lots can receive different offers.
Brand and assortment
Known brands, product types and season help describe the goods and current demand. A retail price is context, rather than a promised resale value.
Sizes and depth
Quantities by model and size show whether the lot has deep lines, incomplete runs or many small remnants. Describe the stock as it stands.
Goods and packaging
New goods, their condition and the state of the original packaging need separate descriptions. Flag missing or damaged boxes before an offer.
Location and resale restrictions
The warehouse location, collection arrangements and excluded markets or channels form part of the commercial review.
Compare offers on the same lot.
A higher headline figure is hard to compare if it covers only selected articles. First check whether both buyers are offering for the same stock and on the same terms.
The scope
Which articles and quantities are included? What remains in your warehouse?
Payment and collection
When must payment reach your account, who arranges collection and what costs are included?
Resale restrictions
Are your excluded markets and channels written into the purchase agreement?
At BenefitStock, the agreed resale restrictions go in Appendix 1. Full payment reaches your account before the goods leave.

Tell us the category, known brands, approximate quantity from 1,000 units and country where the goods are stored.
After the NDA
Share the detailed list with articles, sizes, quantities and any condition issues so we can review the agreed lot.
Then decide
Review the firm offer and terms before committing. The enquiry itself does not commit you to a sale.
FAQ
Questions before you sell
Can I get a rough price from this page?
No. The guide explains the factors used in a review. It does not calculate an estimate or a percentage of retail value. A firm offer requires the complete stock list after the NDA.
How much do stock buyers pay for apparel?
There is no single rate for every clothing lot. Brand mix, remaining sizes, quantities, condition and resale restrictions all need to be reviewed together.
Do I need to enter my asking price?
No. The initial enquiry asks for a stock overview and contact details. It does not ask for prices or a file upload.
Can I include incomplete size runs?
Yes, describe the actual distribution. Our focus is new, known-brand footwear and apparel, from 1,000 units; footwear lots start at 1,000 pairs.
