Surplus stocks are often somebody’s mistake.
Surplus stocks are large amounts of goods that for some reason have not been
sold as expected.
Large quantities in this case, means an amount too high for a normal consumer.
Surplus stocks are commonly traded amongst companies at the discount end of
the industry, for a fraction of the original price.
These kind of stocks can be found not just from manufacturers who make the
product. Many other types of companies who sell products, can have situations
where they have surplus stocks. Many importers, wholesalers & retailers can
end up with surplus stock that they need to clear for prices way cheaper than
normal.
There are many other names for surplus stock you may recognise.
