Sell On Liquidation.com

Liquidity Services was founded in 1999 to try and solve a market need in reverse supply chain. The founders understood that the secondary market was dominated by liquidators with a “buy low, sell high” mentality. Many sellers looked at their surplus inventory as a missed opportunity, paving the way for Liquidity Services to solve this problem that many sellers face across the world. That is when the company established Liquidation.com, a B2B online platform that enables buyers to source bulk amounts of surplus inventory and ultimately maximizing the value of their overstock. Liquidity Services provides a range of innovative eCommerce solutions that enable sellers to manage, value, and sell inventory.
