What kind of inventory do you buy?

Canceled infrastructure and construction projects, OEM and factory overstock, warehouse liens and storage dispositions, insurance and casualty dispositions, store closures and retail closeouts, canceled or excess fleet orders, past-best-by-date or short-dated consumer goods, and bankruptcy or ABC liquidations. If it's real, physical inventory that needs to move, tell us about it.

Do I need everything documented and photographed first?

No. Send what you have — a rough manifest, a few photos, even just a description and quantity — and we'll take it from there. We can send someone to verify in person before any offer is finalized.

Is this confidential?

Yes. We sign NDAs when needed and we don't publicize seller identities. Many of our biggest purchases never appear anywhere public until the inventory is already sold through.

Do you buy inventory that's damaged, expired, or past its best-by date?

Often, yes. Short-dated, past-BBD, cosmetically damaged, and otherwise hard-to-place inventory is a large part of what we buy — we have export and secondary-market channels most buyers don't.

Cash or wire, on our terms as a private buyer — no financing contingencies, no RFP process, no bid committee. We move as fast as you need to close.

Do you buy inventory outside the U.S.?

Yes. We've purchased and moved inventory out of Canada and other markets, and we regularly export purchased inventory to 26+ countries.

What's the minimum size deal you'll consider?

We're built for volume — full truckloads, entire warehouse lots, and multi-million-dollar dispositions of brand-new inventory are our normal range. If it's a single pallet, we're probably not the right fit; if it's a truckload or more, let's talk.

Do you charge any fees to evaluate or buy my inventory?

No. We buy the inventory outright — there's no listing fee, no commission, no consignment. You get a cash offer, not a percentage split.

Sell Your Surplus, Closeout & Liquidation Inventory

What we buy

If it's real, physical inventory that needs to move — for any reason — tell us about it. Here's most of what comes across our desk:

🏗️

Canceled infrastructure & construction projects

Data center builds, power generation, EV charging build-outs, and other capital projects that got shelved after equipment was already purchased.

🏭

OEM & factory overstock

Excess production runs, discontinued part numbers, and canceled purchase orders sitting in a manufacturer's or distributor's warehouse.

📦

Warehouse liens & storage dispositions

3PLs and warehouses recovering unpaid storage fees by liquidating the goods left behind.

🛡️

Insurance & casualty dispositions

Inventory affected by a covered event that an insurer needs disposed of quickly and properly, even when the goods themselves are still sound.

🏬

Store closures & retail closeouts

Chain closures, shelf-pulls, and retailer-rejected lots — cosmetic damage, packaging issues, or simply too much stock.

🚚

Canceled or excess fleet orders

Vehicle and equipment fleets ordered for a project or contract that fell through before delivery or registration.

⏳

Past-best-by-date & short-dated goods

Consumer goods, nutrients, and packaged product nearing or past a best-by date — we have export and secondary-market channels for this.

⚖️

Bankruptcy & ABC liquidations

Assignment-for-benefit-of-creditors and bankruptcy inventory that needs a fast, clean buyer with cash in hand.

Why sellers choose us over the alternative

Most sellers only compare us to one thing: the broker or auction house they almost called instead.

Typical Broker / Auction

❌ Commission comes off your proceeds
❌ Inventory listed publicly for weeks
❌ Paid only after it resells to a third party
❌ RFPs, bid committees, financing contingencies

Proven Performer

✅ We pay more — no commission, no split
✅ Confidential, never listed publicly
✅ Cash or wire, paid directly to you
✅ Verified and offered in days, not months

How it works

Four steps, no RFP, no bid committee.

1Tell us what you have

A rough manifest, a few photos, or even just a description and quantity. That's enough to start.

2We verify

By phone, by document, or in person — whatever the size of the deal calls for. Confidential, no obligation.

3We make a cash offer

A real number from a private buyer, not a listing price or a percentage split.

4We close and move it

Wire payment, freight coordination or on-site pickup — as fast as you need it gone.

Deals we've already done

This isn't theoretical — these are purchases we've made and moved through, start to finish.

Pallets of Galanz refrigerators Proven Performer purchased and exported

21,000 units

DOE labeling issue

Brand-new Galanz refrigerators stranded and unsellable in the U.S. We bought the entire lot and exported every unit to Latin America — sold and shipped in under 60 days.

Warehouse floor of Home Depot overstock purchased by Proven Performer

600+ containers

COVID-era overstock

Home Depot had far more inventory than the U.S. market could absorb. We bought and exported it to buyers in 26 countries.

Warehouse pallets from a Canadian 3PL lien purchased by Proven Performer

6,000 pallets

Warehouse lien

A Canadian 3PL was sitting on brand-new merchandise tied to unpaid storage. We bought the entire volume and sold it through to major U.S. retailers.

Master Forge propane grills purchased by Proven Performer after retailer rejection

13,117 grills

Retailer-rejected lot

Lowe's rejected Master Forge propane grills over minor cosmetic defects. We bought the lot and moved it, defects and all.

Who we buy from

Manufacturers and distributors, contractors and developers, insurers and adjusters, banks and asset-recovery firms, 3PLs and warehouses, retailers, fleet operators, and importers/exporters holding inventory that needs a fast, private buyer.
