Many of our cases, pallets, loads and truckloads auctions are items that we sell on an ongoing basis- meaning we either have them available all the time or we offer new stock very shortly after we sell out. We have dozens of listings like these that we have been offering constantly and will continue to offer for as long as they are available.

Consistent ongoing goods are important to note because:
• Consistent supply of similar goods can help build and grow a business.
• Knowing you can get more of the same type of merchandise as soon as (or before) you run out allows you to have a consistent flow of product for your customers and increases your customers’ loyalty.
• Dealing with consistent types of goods that you can purchase again and again allows you to be more flexible and competitive with pricing since you can easily re-purchase such goods.
• Working with the same type of products over time can make you extremely familiar with any particular program and allows you to further leverage that growing knowledge to maximize your returns.
If items can be easily re-purchased, your aim would be to price the items in order to maximize your absolute profits.

Example: say you purchase “X” product for 10. Better buy and sell 100 units for 20 (and
make 1,000 gross profit), than to hold out for 25 and only buy and sell 50 units (and make a
gross profit of 750 value money).

Several loads available in the industry are only available on an inconsistent basis and have relatively low and sporadic supply (ex: designer handbags). Non-Consistent ongoing goods are important to note because:
• They are unlikely to be readily available for re-purchase and may have significant waiting times between availabilities.
• It is difficult to keep a regular supply of such goods for your customers.
• Building customer loyalty and growing your business is more difficult when dealing with merchandise that has an inconsistent supply.
• You should maximize potential profit from goods which are not available on a regular basis. Once they are sold you won’t be able to purchase them again anytime soon and you should therefore price them accordingly.

For example, for items that are not easily/readily available to purchase again, it is better to
take 2 weeks to sell them for 40/unit than selling them in one week for 30 money value/unit.

Occasionally, there will be one-off deals which once sold will no longer be available again (such as many of our Liquidate Now listings, discontinued models, goods from insurance companies, store/warehouse closures … etc.).

Typically, once these goods are sold similar deals most likely won’t be available again. Such deals can be very profitable and are considered to be opportunistic. Buyers should always aim to maximize their selling price and profit on such purchases as stock is limited and typically there will be little competition and supply of similar items. Furthermore, similar goods cannot be re-purchased so as long as your price is competitive and you can sell the items in due time, there is no need to price them too cheaply. If the availability of regular merchandise is consistent- that you can order every week, then you can make it your bread-and-butter and sell it for cheap and quickly. If the merchandise is more elusive or will not be in stock again after we sell out then you can purchase a larger quantity in one go, or sell it at a higher profit margin to maximize your returns. You can also let your customers know that it is a limited-time-offer product thus raising its value and appeal.
