Tips for Buying in Bulk (Business Liquidation)
Posted: Thu Oct 30, 2014 10:10 am
Hey all. So I've discovered a local sporting goods store is going out of business that has been active since 1977. They were your typical run of the mill sporting goods store with screen printing, trophy making, etc for the local schools. I have found multiple blanks as well as some NOS shoes at our local thrift stores with their store tags on them, so once I saw they were going out of business I inquired about their surplus. Turns out they have hints of 70s/80s tri blend and 50/50 blanks throughout their store as they have start to go through stuff and I asked if they had more available for bulk purchase. Well, they have a warehouse supposedly full of stuff. Just in the small store alone I've found 70s/80s Russell blank sweats (tri blend and 50/50) which includes adult and youth sizes.
What I'm trying to do is get a decent strategy on what to buy and for how much. Should I even bother with youth sizes? I'm thinking, if there's a lot, I could score tees for .25 to 1.00 a pop. I have yet to see the warehouse, so all this is going off small samples, what they say, and assumptions. I'll be hopefully meeting with the store manager within the week to discuss more. Any advice on how to approach this would be greatly appreciated.
