Seasonal stock buyer

Sell your leftover seasonal stock

The season's over and the stock's still here. We buy leftover Christmas, summer, back-to-school and promotional stock outright, so you're not storing it for another eleven months.

The basics

What counts as seasonal stock?

Seasonal stock is anything that sells well in a set window and then stops. Once the date passes, demand drops off a cliff, even though the product itself is perfectly fine. Typical examples:

  • Christmas decorations, gift sets, advent calendars and party lines
  • Summer garden, outdoor, paddling pool and barbecue stock
  • Back-to-school stationery, bags and uniform accessories
  • Halloween, Easter, Valentine's and Mother's Day ranges
  • Promotional and event stock tied to a campaign that's finished

Why it happens

Why seasonal stock gets left behind

You buy months ahead

Seasonal orders get placed long before you know how the season will go. By the time you find out, the stock has already landed.

The weather doesn't play along

A wet summer kills garden and outdoor sales. A mild winter does the same to cold-weather lines.

The window is short

Christmas trading is really a few weeks long. Miss the peak and there's no second chance until next year.

Space is needed for the next season

Spring stock is arriving while Christmas stock is still on the shelves. Something has to give.

What we buy

Leftover seasonal stock we buy

We buy new, saleable seasonal stock from retailers, wholesalers, brands and online sellers. Mixed seasons in one lot are fine.

Christmas stock

Decorations, lights, gift sets, crackers, wrap, cards and festive homeware.

Summer and outdoor

Garden furniture, barbecues, pools, beach and camping gear.

Back to school

Stationery, school bags, lunchware and study supplies.

Seasonal events

Halloween, Easter, Valentine's, Mother's and Father's Day ranges.

Winter lines

Heaters, hats, gloves, blankets and cold-weather accessories.

Promotional stock

Branded, campaign and event stock left over after a promotion ends.

Why act now

The real cost of holding seasonal stock for a year

Boxing it up for next year feels like the safe option. It often isn't.

  • Eleven months of storage for stock that earns nothing in that time
  • Designs date quickly. Next year's buyers want next year's look
  • Packaging gets tired and damaged in storage
  • You'll buy new seasonal stock anyway, so the old lot competes with it

Seasonal stock is worth most straight after the season ends. The sooner you sell, the better the offer.

FAQ

Selling seasonal stock: your questions

Do you buy Christmas stock in January?

Yes. January is when most leftover Christmas stock comes to us. Get in touch as soon as you know what's left.

Is it better to store seasonal stock for next year?

Sometimes, if it's timeless and you have free space. Most of the time, storage costs, dated designs and tired packaging mean selling now works out better.

Can I sell a mix of different seasons in one lot?

Yes. Send us everything in one list and we'll give you a single price for the lot.

Do you buy seasonal stock with dated branding, like a specific year?

Often, yes. Year-specific stock is harder to resell, which affects the price, but it's still worth asking.

What about seasonal food and drink?

Tell us what you have and the dates on it. We'll let you know straight away if it's something we can make an offer on.
