Unlock the Value of Your End of Season Inventory

The Problem: Inventory That Won’t Move

As a boutique owner, you know the challenges of managing end-of-season inventory. Unsold items take up space, tie up cash flow, and create headaches when it comes to clearing the way for next season’s stock. You’ve worked hard to curate these collections—but what happens when they don’t sell?

This is where we come in.

At Inventory Rescue, we specialize in helping boutique owners like you turn unsold inventory into revenue. Whether it’s high-end men’s wear, women’s fashion, or seasonal styles, we have the expertise and tools to maximize your inventory’s value.

Our Solution: Three Models, One Goal

We offer three flexible models to help you move inventory in a way that makes sense for your business. Here’s how each model works, complete with an example based on a $100 MSRP item.

1. The Consignment Model: We Do It All

How It Works:

  • You provide your unsold inventory.
  • We handle everything: photography, listing, optimization, storage, shipping, and customer service.
  • Inventory is listed on our established eBay and Poshmark accounts, which are proven to drive visibility and sales.
  • Profits are split 50/50 after platform fees and shipping costs.

Example: $100 MSRP Item

  • Sale Price: $50
  • eBay/PayPal Fees: $7.50 (15%)
  • Net Revenue: $42.50
  • Split: You earn $21.25; we earn $21.25.

Why It Works:

  • You focus on what you do best: running your store and serving customers.
  • You get full transparency with inventory tracking tools and regular sales reports.
  • No need to manage listings or logistics—we take care of it all.
  • Unsold items are returned to the store owner (depending on our warehouse space needs).

2. The Liquidation Model: We Buy It Outright

How It Works:

  • We purchase your unsold inventory outright at 5-10% of its MSRP.
  • You get immediate cash and free up space in your store.
  • You get to clear your books, often showing a loss which reduces tax liabilities while avoiding depreciation headaches.
  • Once purchased, we take on all the risk. The inventory becomes ours to list and sell.

Example: $100 MSRP Item

  • Buy Price: $5-$10 (5-10% MSRP).
  • Our Revenue: $35.50 (Net Sale Price $50 - eBay fees - COGS).
  • Our Margin: $30.50/item.

Why It Works:

  • Immediate cash flow for your business.
  • Eliminates the hassle of managing unsold inventory.
  • Simplifies your accounting: reduce tax liabilites and avoid depreciation headaches.

3. The Hybrid Model: Best of Both Worlds

How It Works:

  • We start with a consignment model for 90 days.
  • Unsold inventory after 90 days:
    • Returned to you, or
    • Purchased outright by us at a rock-bottom price (5% MSRP max).

Example: $100 MSRP Item

  • Consignment Period (90 Days):
    • Sale Price: $50.
    • Your Earnings: $21.25 if it sells.
  • Unsold After 90 Days:
    • Buy Price: $5/item (5% MSRP).

Why It Works:

  • You get a chance to maximize your profits through consignment.
  • Uncertainty is minimized: you still receive cash for inventory that doesn’t sell.
  • We'll still rescue your inventory from the trash. We'll keep it listed or sell it to another reseller.

Why Choose Us?

We don’t just sell—we optimize. With years of experience and a proven track record on platforms like eBay and Poshmark, we bring the following advantages:

  1. Expert Listing Optimization:

    • Professional photography and stock image sourcing.
    • SEO-optimized titles and item specifics to boost visibility.
    • Consistent daily listings to keep accounts in good standing. Simply put, you need to list every single day to maximize sales. Small accounts struggle to maintain this. We can combine shops with our own daily listings to optimize account visibility in platform algorithms. 

  2. Established Accounts:

    • Our eBay accounts have strong health, visibility, and customer trust.
    • Proven sales history ensures faster sell-through rates compared to starting a new account.
    • Avoid the time-consuming challenge of building a new seller account from scratch.

  3. Scalability:

    • From one boutique to hundreds, we're building a system to scale.
    • Inventory tracking and SKU systems ensure full visibility for every store owner.
    • Potential to create dedicated eBay accounts for stores providing steady inventory flow.

Recommended Model: Start with Consignment

We recommend starting with a pilot consignment program.

  • Pilot Volume: 100 items.
  • Timeline: 90 days to test results and refine processes.
  • Visibility: Full reporting and tracking via SKU systems.
  • Next Steps: Evaluate results and decide on expanding inventory volume or transitioning to a hybrid model.
