43 Excess inventory ties up capital, consumes warehouse space, and can create ongoing storage expenses.
If your business is holding new merchandise you no longer need, Big Willy’s Wholesale wants to review it.
We purchase qualifying new excess, surplus, overstock, discontinued, closeout, slow-moving, canceled-order, Amazon/e-commerce, and other bulk general merchandise inventory from sellers nationwide.
Whether you have several pallets, thousands of units, truckloads, containers, or an entire product line, submit the opportunity directly to our buying team.

Turn Unwanted Inventory Into Working Capital
Inventory is an asset—but only when it's working for your business.
When merchandise stops moving, the costs can continue:
Warehouse space remains occupied.
3PL storage charges continue.
Capital stays tied up.
New products compete for available space.
Older SKUs become harder to move.
For some businesses, continuing to hold inventory simply doesn't make sense.
A bulk sale can provide an alternative.
Instead of waiting months to sell merchandise case by case or unit by unit, you can submit the entire inventory position to Big Willy’s Wholesale for review.
What Types of Inventory Can You Sell?
Different businesses use different names for merchandise they need to move.
We evaluate opportunities involving:
Excess Inventory
Merchandise exceeding your current sales needs or projected demand.
Surplus Inventory
New products your business no longer needs to hold.
Overstock
Inventory purchased, produced, or imported beyond current requirements.
Discontinued Inventory
Products, SKUs, packaging, or product lines your company is eliminating.
Closeout Merchandise
Inventory being cleared because of assortment changes, category exits, discontinued programs, or other business decisions.
Slow-Moving Inventory
New products taking longer to sell than originally anticipated.
Canceled-Order Inventory
Merchandise manufactured, imported, or purchased for an order that was later canceled.
Amazon & E-Commerce Inventory
New merchandise owned by Amazon, marketplace, Shopify, and other online sellers who need to reduce inventory.
Production Overruns
Finished merchandise produced beyond the quantity ultimately required.
You don't need to determine which description applies to your inventory.
If you have new merchandise available in bulk and want to sell it, send it to us.
Manufacturers With Excess Production
Production schedules don't always match final demand.
A customer can cancel. Forecasts can change. Packaging can be redesigned. A SKU can be discontinued after merchandise has already been manufactured.
That can leave a manufacturer with thousands of perfectly good finished units occupying warehouse space.
Big Willy’s Wholesale evaluates these positions as potential bulk purchases.
Importers With Excess Containers or Pallets
Importers can also find themselves holding unexpected inventory.
Perhaps a customer reduced an order while merchandise was already in transit. Maybe demand changed after containers were booked. Or MOQ requirements created more inventory than the business ultimately needed.
If you have new imported general merchandise available by the pallet, truckload, container, or other commercial quantity, submit the opportunity.
Distributors & Wholesalers Clearing Warehouse Space
Every pallet position has value.
When slow-moving or discontinued SKUs occupy warehouse locations needed for newer merchandise, continuing to store them can become expensive.
Big Willy’s Wholesale wants to review qualifying new inventory that distributors and wholesalers are ready to exit.
Brands & Retailers Exiting Products
Brands and retailers regularly change assortments.
Products may be discontinued because of packaging changes, new models, category resets, retail-program changes, seasonal transitions, or changes in merchandising strategy.
The product may still be perfectly new and sellable even though it no longer fits the original company's plans.
That's exactly the type of opportunity we'd like to see.
Amazon & E-Commerce Sellers With Too Much Inventory
Online sellers face a different inventory problem: storage costs can quickly eat into margins.
You may be holding merchandise because:
- Sales slowed
- You overordered
- You're exiting the SKU
- You're changing suppliers
- You're leaving a category
- You want to discontinue an Amazon listing
- Inventory is sitting at a 3PL
- You're closing or restructuring an e-commerce business
If the products are new and available in commercial quantities, submit them to Big Willy’s Wholesale.
Inventory Stored at a 3PL?
That's fine.
You do not need to move your merchandise before contacting us.
Inventory can be located at a:
- 3PL
- Warehouse
- Fulfillment center
- Factory
- Distribution center
- Import facility
- Other commercial storage location
Big Willy’s Wholesale evaluates inventory opportunities nationwide.
Include the location when submitting your merchandise so our buying team can evaluate the opportunity along with the logistics.

- Inventory location
- Product condition
- Product photos
- Packaging photos
- Inventory spreadsheet
- MSRP or normal retail price
- Asking price, if available
- Expiration or best-by dates when applicable
- Any resale or channel restrictions
Have hundreds of SKUs?
Send the complete inventory spreadsheet rather than entering each product individually.
